Boeing says plastic 737s not far off

"...Forget big metal birds of steel, the aircraft of the future will be constructed out of plastic...(composites). They are already used in items such as tennis rackets and bicycle spokes..."

Great colorful art by Christel Minotti

Recently finished working with Finnish-born artist Christel Minotti to build a new website and online gallery. As a result of going through that process, I have to admit I am now a fan of her work. Her work ranges from still-life to landscape...I really like her Lemons with Orchid
