As Kingstonian says...

We're too hung up on Ivy.

The John Simons influence.

Ironic, as he evidently isn't.

He's a stylist.

Way to go.

Here's a thought: Time all of this all over the Net. grew beyond my fooling about.

Foundations are only there to be built on.

- So build!

My Best to All -

Always here,

Re: As Kingstonian says...

We always knew, reading between the lines, from the website, that there was more to John Simons - as opposed to J. Simons, if you catch my drift - than just Ivy.  The Ivy style was a useful extension of modernism, but complexities lay behind it: one thing interacted with another in a way that other modernists have, at the very least, alluded to.  Each time I flick through Flusser and see Fred Astaire I'm reminded of the site.  Each time I see the references to Saville Row...  The truly creative mind at work: nothing static.
