The way my life works is weird, some things are really messy and some things and mega organised. I seem to talk about how I like everything to be neat all the time but I'm sure my girlfriend would totally disagree. I have tones of really messy stuff like uni work, books, clothes and general MAC(Male Accumulated Clutter) but it's all tidied away good and proper.
I came across Jacob Whibley's collages yesterday when I was having some down time and they made me smile, they sort of remind me of myself. The colours and materials used also remind me of school, though I hated school it's the little things everyone remembers, like textbooks and stationary (amounst other things of course, I'm not a madman). How many times do you see old school note pads are think "...ahh hey, they're cool"
Stick one of these in your bag, works for me. It really is the little things in life.
