This is a 1965 catalog of my grandfather’s company Lorenzo Bustillos M. & Cia. celebrating their 60th anniversary.
He started working there at 15 after his father passed away and grew the company from a hardware store into a major distributor of heavy machinery and equipment.

1. I hate your baby, dog, hot wife, fancy car or vacation. Seriously. It was fun for a day or two… Now I’m sick.

2. I kept re-reading comments I made. My paranoia and self-consciousness were maxed-out.

3. I look dumb.

4. You look dumber.

5. I’m constantly reminded why we stopped being friends in the first place.

6. I don’t want to re-live my whole life every time I log-on.

7. Photos lost their meaning. 350 vacation shots? Really?

8. I don’t want Facebook cataloging everything I do and say. Wake up!

8 1/2. I’m tired of trying to be cool. Fuck Fellini too by the way.

Our houses are dead.
Devoid of life.
Like stuffed animals , with gleam-less eyes.

A few plants here and there, their only purpose: decoration.
Leaves and water talk to us.
listen.

 

 

Bring mountains and oceans indoors, let’s invite Nature in for a long stay and have it work for us. Plants can provide food, medicine, and clean our air and water.

 

 

Sell nature as a product.
Everybody’s doing it anyway.
I am green, you are green, we are all together.

 

 

Make store aisles and fast websites that sell the latest tweaks in vegetable design.
Hybrid things that fuse together tech and nature in a seamless product.

 

 

Have a nasty cold?
Brew some WindTunnel Tea© from the wall.

 

 

Little Fan On the Prairie Bowl© absorbs airborne pollutants and gives air a fresh outdoorsy smell.

 

 

Huh? What’s that? dry air?
Turn a creek into a waterfall with your FullFlo Sofa©.

 

 

Grow your own.
Tweak seed DNA to transfer and store information.
Plant a seed, grow data.

Inpired by Our Lonely Ficus who did not survive a grueling 3-week balcony stint, after selflessly enduring a hard Milanese winter while we swam in steamy Brazilian beaches.

I miss him. (the tree)
