about

why little? A true delight is to find tiny objects that still work just as well small as they do at their normal size. Like a mini whistle that still makes sound when you blow into it. Or tiny forks and spoons. Or a miniature car with working doors and a steering wheel that turns.

blue? Any shade of blue and the colors around it from purple to turquoise to green soothe and calm.

windmill? In the music video “Feel Good Inc.,” by Gorillaz the windmill is on a floating island. This is a place where one is free, happy and creative. The windmill generates new ideas that lead to a life without distractions. Here you are free from the need to conform. I always want to be on the island with the windmill. A windmill is an example of great design. Simple and elegant. My bet is that it would work well even in miniature!

I am extremely thorough and persistent when I work on a logo or a design project. Also, I am equally invested in making art work that generates energy and joy. Little Blue Windmill exists to capture ideas, emotion, & thoughts and turn them into art & design.
