The Forgotten Door







Hello there, nice to meet you.

I don't know about you but I find myself constantly on the prowl for new sources of creative inspiration, whether it's architectural plans, illustration, skateboarding videos, fashion, furniture design or some bizarre, niche technological advance.

If things go to plan, the most intriguing and exciting of these discoveries and some incredible, inspiring photography will wash up here, on the shores of Tumblr.

You can find my own photographic endeavours over on my blog which is located at www.wearehomegrown.co.uk

  • I think artists mostly today are businessmen pretending to be inspired.


    …they work in such tandem with art dealers and museums and collectors that it becomes and entirely bland and colourless business mechanism;


    Designed to fulfil a market need at the expense of innovation, originality and honesty.
