The process I go through in the art and the architecture, I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it's magical. ↗

I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell - but then I can never bring myself to sell them. ↗
