With all the buzz on gun control, some turn to a more regressive note. The Comfort Gun takes the hyper-protective Americans that sleep with their guns to a thumb sucking, blankey holding bedtime level. A cozy heated water pad in the shape of a gun sits loaded for warm fuzzies all night long. Snug in its holster with a tender loving pink rubber casing intimidates no one, turns a violent icon into a soothing sleeper. Creator Francis North is a second year student at Kingston University speaks about his piece, “For it to work effectively as an object, I had to make sure it has all the visual and tactile characteristics of a real hot water bottle” and describes the design as a “visual statement on the recent status of firearms in America.”

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
