Ideas: January 2008 Archives

It may be early to be decorating the walls of our imaginary Villa Straylight, but we found the perfect piece of art; this bear from Jill Greenberg's Ursine series. We've been huge fans of her work for a while now, the hilarious and surprising monkey portraits and the controversial crying children. But the idea of taking the bear out to the woods seems perfect.

The name "Villa Straylight" comes from a fictional house in William Gibson's book Neuromancer. It is the home of the Tessier-Ashpool family who appear in the Sprawl trilogy novels. The family owns Freeside, a space station shaped like a spindle constructed in high orbit. The family resides in the Villa Straylight, which occupies one end of the spindle.
