me studio

i came across this amazing, obsessive work in a magazine today and it appealed to the collector-nerd in me, it turns out that the man responsible for these fascinating catalogued lists of objects drafted in a semi cartoon/semi techinical drawing style (gregory blackstock) is autistic and made a name for himself a few years back in america

to find out more about him just google his name, there’s plenty of stuff to read… here’s a short video on the ‘rainman of seattle’, sure part of the attraction is his condition, but luckily the work appealed to me on it’s own merit before i even knew about the background story…

he has even made some prints on clothes for ‘commes des garcons’ which i find a very odd (but appealing) combination
