Sometimes, I jokingly refer to my parents house as the “Hindle Family Book Repository”. They have a lot of books. I have a lot of books too, and I’m similarly bad at storing them, but I’ve had to move a lot more. Above is the pile of books on the coffee table, which has a Joan Aiken book of stories, Craig Thompson’s travel-comic Carnet de Voyage
We are, however, bad at tidying up, so things pile up around us, like paperwork and magazines. I quite like drawing the shape of piles of paper, but I’m not as fond of having them around. Piles of books are better, as they can usually support the weight of a mug of coffee. The grey splodges are copies of The Friend magazine, which were two complicated to deal with properly. I did like drawing the RCA connectors though – I used to be really into stereo gear.
Under the chair is another miscellaneous pile that I’m not even going to attempt to describe. It has a copy of the Spectator and a train time-table, but everything else is a dusty mystery of the ages. Don’t touch it; you may anger the natives.
Very nice. Piles of websites……
There are so many piles of stuff in my tiny studio apt. that sometimes I’m afraid to slam the door, fearing that they will topple down and I’ll be buried beneath them, never to be found again!
Your style makes them look very whimsical though :)
Hi Pete~
I was chatting with you on the Sustainably Creative forum. I dig your style. Are you a fan of Dan Price’s Moonlight Chronicles? If not, I think you’d really like his stuff.
I signed up for your blog and look forward to being further inspired by you and your creativity!
