I have quite a few new readers here at cup of coco, so I thought I would re-post the news that since April my company b.delicious has expanded now offering custom room décor.

We create room decor for kid’s rooms and nurseries, but did you know we also design living art or installations for corporate office “playrooms” for their employees. (Also termed wellness rooms or decompression rooms.) Promoting overworked white-collar workers to get away from the cubical and expand the creative thought process, stimulating a productive work environment. I think corporate America is facing the fact we spend much of our lives at work and that we need to re-think the corporate work place. These corporate “playrooms” are becoming the trend to relieve stress at work and strengthen comrade among co-workers.

My goal in the next year is to network and connect with various niche markets, such as schools, daycares, hotel rooms, hotel lobbies, conference rooms, reception areas and trade show booth design. Long term, I envision my custom décor sprinkled through the halls of companies like MTV, Google, Nestle, Apple, and schools such as Latin, British, Parker, Walt Disney and Montessori, all of which are committed to innovative work environments.
In order to develop my portfolio further, I would be happy to donate my consulting fee as an auction package for a fundraiser for your company, organization, or school. Likewise, I would love to work my magic for your child’s nursery or playroom working with any size budget, to design the entire room or one custom piece.

I am open to ideas and tips on how to market myself to these niche markets. Would you suggest local advertising? Cold call office managers of key companies about my work? I have ideas on the subject, but would love hear from you!

Please dear readers, spread the word to your friends and family. Feel free to send me a personal email at info@bdelicious.com.

This is called "Preparation for Another", were three people brushed their teeth with an entire tube of tooth paste.Their heads protruding up from a 4 foot table top. They became the table and the table became a platform for a forced limitation to test and push the simple gesture of brushing your teeth to the extreme. Perfect becoming imperfect. This is a still from the performance, which I did at Skowhegan in 1999.

As I expressed earlier, I need to take a step back from the images I'm filling my brain with from the web and use more of the real world for inspiration. So I will post about some of my past work for the remaining of the week and then take a little break from posting.

I found a CD of images scanned from slides of work going back about 10 to 15 years. Here a few more detail shot of the piece I posted about from my first blog post, called Spot Shifting.

I love this birdhouse from Parisian company Serendipity, made from industrial wool felt and a little branch as the perch. It has a sweet and modern spin...a tad bit too girlie for me with the ribbon, but could look great in a nursery.
