Mornings are best for concentrated work. In the winter, I turn on the heat at 8am and get started around 10am. Summer, I start around 9am. I have two areas in the studio for projects. The large, heavy wood sculptures are carved in the front section of the studio, closest to the roll-up wide door. Smaller sculptures are placed on a hydraulic workbench. Before I start, I focus, connect with the Source, and ask for guidance.
His sculptural, chunky wood forms are reminiscent of a modern day Wharton Esherick or JB Blunk. It's no wonder Vince calls his design style "Flinstones." The Claremont, California-based artist carves each stool, chair, or object from a single block of wood using chainsaws and hand tools, following "the grain, patterns, knots, and other characteristics" to find the form within. Today Vince writes in with a podcast recc, favorite book shop, and what might be the most surprising unpopular design opinion we've gotten yet.
