I am looking for any EPS images of "Frank Lloyd Wright - inspired" images.

Any ideas for a source?

I have to say I don't actually know who this guy is, but I found these two pictures on the net and I have done some 'minor' adjustments. They might be to your taste. (They are eps so you can scale them to suit)

Frank

He was a renowned architect and designer. His homes are distinctive, blend with their surroundings--actually designed for the landscape. His furniture is simple but elegant.

His homes today are highly valued and in some instances historic landmarks.

I suspect you will find reading about him quite interesting.

I have read his biography.
Less known about him is that he had a dark moody side as well. He is said to have cheated friends and family out of money, he refused to do many commissioned jobs on time or on budget or even to anywhere near the requested Specifications of some of his clients wishes,
He was often rude and aloof. the list goes on. but many people of genius are eccentric. His biography is fascinating and his work inspirationally.

Not only that, but you could come home and find he has built your house over a waterfall and river..:p

There is one of his houses in Oregon... it is quite strange, and not livable by todays standards.... tiny bedrooms the size of closets, arranged in a strange way. I thought more of him until I saw this.

The house is named "falling water" - spent months surveying the site, making calculations, and as the story goes had nothing on paper until the client called and wanted to visit to see the progress. In less than 6 hours had the plans finished...floorplans, structural sections elevations...on a multilevel, rocky, live watered site. The man from what I have read was very ridgid and unmoving in "his" ideas and demanded the utmost loyalty him and those ideas. Brilliant, but a flawed personallity. An amazing house.

The link as above...
