Building things is intoxicating. A day, rather a minute does not pass where I am trying figuring how to make some cockamamie thing work, it can get a bit tedious fretting over what screw head would look best. And sometimes I doubt it and then change it all up. But that is the inspiring part of building; treating it as a science and looking at it moreso as a liberal art- How will the form presents itself, what does it represents, what emotion does it emote, how will it be used, is it responsible, and will it last hundreds of years, I would argue all of our forms we work with represent one aspect of nature or the other- it's just how we compile them. Even in nature, some piles of rocks look a little better than other piles of rocks. Even the straightest squarest most angular for might exist as a crystal somewhere. I can't say I stick to one lasting style, I like all house styles as long as they are done with passion. Seen some great ones and some really bad ones. When I decide on the next project I research it like mad. I mean I don't choose to really pigeon hole myself- I guess that's why I haven't taken the tattoo plunge. I might wait until I'm really old and get a tattoo of something really inappropriate just for a conversation starter. I'm not sure.
