  Hi Everyone.  I recently entered my studio's portfolio into a juried international contest called Art Takes Miami.  The winning portfolio will be given... (drum roll)  a show booth at the prestigious SCOPE Miami held during Art/Basel 2011, to display their art/designs to the world.  So, if you're looking for something to do and you have a burning desire deep down to help a somewhat young

Hi Everyone,  It's been a crazy few months of developing and finalizing projects, new commissions and whenever possible, experimenting with my own personal design collection.  In the last months, LMNOQ also participated in INVENTORY, a major design exhibition showcasing the fresh new work of local South Florida designers and architects.  I'm also proud to say that the studio and I were featured

I would like to give a big THANK YOU, to everyone that has purposely or accidently, visited my studio blog and checked out the stories and background tomfoolery that defines my studio projects.  And a special thank you goes out to those of you who took the time to post a comment or sent an email of encouragement or support.  It means a lot to me to know that I'm not alone in my design endeavors.

   I know... I know it's been a long while since I last posted about the going's on at my studio LMNOQ.  All I can say is that it has been an extremely busy and productive few months.  Each day has been a never ending rollercoaster of creative energy, from creating one of a kind furniture, to building adult sized playhouses, to developing my own products for a upcoming design show in the new

Close up cuts of "The Face of Time" by Aurora Molina     One of the many reasons I started studio LMNOQ was not only to realize my own ideas by experimenting and making prototypes but to open a place where I can help local artists and designers achieve their own concepts. Well it's been a fun week of collaboration and exploration with some very talented friends. And the first one I would

"BLOK" Doorstop manning the door @ studio LMNOQ   What's black and white and weighs 50 pounds?  "BLOK", thats what.  One of the problems I've had from the first day I moved studio LMNOQ into it's new space was that the large glass entry doors that came with the space would slam shut at the mere hint of a breeze.  So, "BLOK" was born.  A twelfth century concept meets twenty first century

"NO Time" wall clock @ studio LMNOQ    Last month I was commissioned to design a wall clock for a local South Florida graphic design office.  The only criteria was that the design had to be simple so it would work well with their white minimalist interior and still function as a clock with a numerical time face.  Well, what do you think?  After several dozen pencil sketches, (call me old

POX suspended coat rack on display @ LMNOQ    My new studio is located next to Coverings, an internationally recognized materials showroom.  And just recently they received the famous Red Dot award for an amazing new eco-friendly material they developed from recycled glass, "bioGlass".  So, to commemorate the occasion I created POX, a suspended coat rack based upon my initial wall hook

  One of the things I try to do at lest once a week is get out of the studio and drive around the city and look for inspiration for new designs from wherever I can find it.  Well, just the other day I came across an amazing collection of vintage patterned cement blocks at an old cement manufacturer.  Here in South Florida, its very common to find these decorative blocks installed in all kinds

A very rare event these days.  But once and
