Concrete baby head from Goldbug They are pretty cagey about the actual artist. I think it's cool. Lots of others to choose from.
We picked this up in Venice a few years back. The coffee is all gone but the can remains.
I bought this painting in 1998. It's by the London artist Ray Richardson and is called The Lie. I like the ambiguity of the scene and the typical East End characters. It's like a scene from a Guy Ritchie movie.
Never mind the bookends, (which I think are from Anthropologie). What's interesting here is the first edition Jeeves. I can't get enough of Jeeves and Wooster, and the TV series with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie was the best!
This little feller is a vintage bottle stopper, found in Nantucket. It has a little lever at the back which raises his hat. Not sure why that's pertinent to booze but it is cute.
One of a set of brass horse bookends from England. I love the verdigris and will never polish this!
A grouping of etchings and drawings on our living room wall. Some I got in England and some are English scenes bought in LA.
A mid century 'rocket' clock from Germany. Sleek and wonderful to look at.
An old stirrup encased clock face. It doesn't work, or look like it worked at all, but I have never seen one quite like it before.
This one reminds me of when I used to think smoking was romantic, or at least, a guiltless pleasure. Apparently, it's by quite a famous artist called Linda Lee.
This '53 Corvette is also a Jim Beam decanter. It still has the original bourbon inside. One day when I figure out how to add more views to each image I'll post them for you to see. It's pretty cool.
Another Ray Richardson. A limited print this time. My wife says it looks pretty scary but I think they're having fun and he's saying 'Good boy! - can't you run any faster?'
Thx Stefan!
hard not to smile :-) good job
