Bruce Munro -- Field of Light

"The red desert had an incredible feeling of energy; ideas seemed to radiate from it along with the heat. The field of light installation was one idea that landed in Bruce’s sketch book and refused to dislodge from his mind."

BEAST (expired magazine)

“BEAST is the only true inspiration in the worldwide boring web. Beast is the fusion between print and web. BEAST is a magazine, a book, a lifestyle, an insult, a religion. BEAST is overrated and undervalued. BEAST is good, bad and ugly. BEAST is the bible of inspiration. BEAST is the end of the web. BEAST is for frustrated and bored web/print designers out there who work in small, dark offices and limit their life in totally overrated advertising / media agencies. Beast is against boring design, against everyday design that penetrates our precious life. Of course. BEAST is also a good read for uncreative creative directors.”
