Xtras: noodles and nuggets

Xtras because we weren’t sure where to put this – while we continue to work on our studio manual, compendium or blogaglog- the working title is currently ‘Joy of Six’ – ‘noodles and nuggets’ because our noodles are full of random stuff and nuggets (of gold?) – compact bits of information – might be better than pearls of wisdom… but who knows…so this is a list of books, films, people, proverbs, sayings, sounds, music and other things and non-things that have inspired the work of studio six this year…
