When inspiration — for just about anything — escapes you, head over to Coroflot and dig through some portfolios. Something over there is guaranteed to get your brain juices flowing.

For me this morning, it was designer Francois Gustin. He’s instilled a little cynical humor into the idea of love with his Love Bomb ring. The presentation of the piece, especially the subtle but humorous shadow behind the model, makes Francois’ opinion on love pretty clear. And I don’t think it would be too tough to find others who agree. What’s your best explosive love story? The rest of Francois’ portfolio is worth a gander as well, so have a look.
