After endulging in some fast food, I noticed a little note on someone's car in the parking lot. It reads "you have a right front flat tire."

ABOUT
- Dave Aquino
- Vancouver, BC, Canada
- Inspiration arrives at anytime and from anywhere. Sometimes these small and even subtle sparks can lead to an immediate design solution or an idea that can be tucked away for later use. This blog is about things I've read, seen, heard, created, or admired. Ideas are constantly on my mind. Now, this blog serves as a home for the inspiration before that next big idea.
