For some people, it's lava lamps, or action figures or even clutter...
I'm slowly integrating a few elements into my workspace. Recently, my wife made a quick trip to Quebec to see her parents and go through some of the stuff we left behind when we moved here. She surprised me by bringing back an old framed picture of Bela Lugosi - which had been one of those magic elements that had been part of my creative environment for years... It's very odd how this thing feels like it was a missing part of the puzzle. I'm just so used to having it in the home studio...
She also brought back a couple more of my Lugosi collectibles - a copy of his death certificate, his will, movies, an action figure...
Suddenly, I feel even more at home. :)
Next up - replacing that darn carpet w/ a wooden floor (everywhere where there's carpet in the house actually) and the butt-ugly ceiling fan.
Now, if I could find one of these...
