From time to time, I must comment on aspects of pure design inspiration. I had never heard of Alvin Lustig before an artist friend of mine showed me a book on his life and design. Largely self-taught, Lustig became a leader in graphic design especially as it applied to advertising and marketing. He also designed the book covers for countless literary figures of the time.

I confess that his work has inspired me to incorporate ideas of his into my own design work.

Possible fabric inspiration.

Some of these designs would make killer rugs!

Love the line design on those drapes!

These light fixtures are to die for!
