Like the closet, one’s desk is often an indicator of a person’s true organizational skills. Unlike the static décor of the living room or bedroom, our work spaces are seemingly ever evolving entities unto themselves. The constant influx and invasion of notices, computers, bills, magazines, letters, photos, junk mail, printouts, ephemera, stationery, art supplies, remnants of snacks, and even whole meals at the desk make for an uphill battle for keeping appearances tidy.
On My Desk is a new blog documenting the organization, or lack thereof, of various submitted artist and designer desk real estate. UK artist Linzie Hunter created
On My Desk to simply showcase elements of our workspace which are "important, inspirational, interesting, practical, essential for creating art, design and illustrations. Hopefully some of our own AT readers will represent LA to the fullest and submit their desks and studios for review.

i love this. so inspirational, looking at the way artists set up their work spaces. not in the fluffy bunny oh look at the artiste sense of 'inspirational', but in the sense of a well organized and well used space. yes, that often means 'clutter' from an interior design perspective. but a life well lived involves clutter. if you can hide it in a bin or a desk drawer, more power to you. but when you're getting down to creative brass tacks, being able to see all your options can be really important. there's a huge difference between clutter you can hide (papers to be filed, grocery bags shoved into a caddy behind a cubpoard door, etc.) and the clutter we need for everyday living. and this site illustrates that notion very well.
sorry, forgot to undefine accruity.
accrual + acuity

the consequence model is not philanthropic.
