Allan Ommerli Interior Designer

When it comes to taking chances, sorne people like to play poker or shoot dice; other people prefer to parachute-jump, go rhino hunting, or climb ice floes, while still others engage in crime or marriage. But I like to get drunk and drive like a fool. Name me, if you can, a better feeling than the one you get when you're half a bottle of Chivas in the bag with a gram of coke up your nose and a teenage lovely pulling off her tube top in the next seat over while you're going a hundred miles an hour down a suburban side street. You'd have to watch the entire Mexican air force crash-land in a liquid petroleum gas storage facility to match this kind of thrill. If you ever have much more fun than that, you'll die of pure sensory overload, I'm here to tell you. P.J. O'Rourke From "How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink", Republican Party Reptile, 1987, The Atlantic Monthy Press, New York

While P.J. O'Rourke likes to drive fast to have fun, in his spare time, Allan Ommerli likes to draw. Victorian houses. Cathedrals. Ornate ceiling designs. Bicycles and machinery. Just for the fun of it. So here we have a peek at what Allan does when he's not working!
