Before heading off to burning man a couple weeks ago… I put the finishing touches on a blog for my friends Nicole and Zanetha Matisse and their company, Matisse Design Studio. It’s definitely still a work in progress… The look they wanted meant that I finally got to play around with watercolors (heavily inspired by Stina Persson, whose painting appears as the thumbnail image for the Matisses’ first post). Take a look: The Matisse Aesthetic.

A quote they have chosen from the Slow Food Manifesto as their first blog post pretty much sums up what the Matisse Aesthetic is about:

“May suitable doses of guaranteed sensual pleasure and slow, long-lasting enjoyment preserve us from the contagion of the multitude who mistake frenzy for efficiency.”

Good luck Matisses!
