"Susan Slotkis, NYC designer and educator, just told me, "Design education and exposure to design don’t ever stop. Witness my having the unexpected opportunity recently to meet an icon I’ve admired for years, Eva Zeisel, one of the most respected ceramicists and industrial designers of modern times."
Susan and Ms. Zeisel were both attendees (she being an honored guest) at a gala at the Museum of Arts and Design on Columbus Circle in Manhattan. The event, a fundraiser for the Education Foundation of IFDA (International Furnishings and Design Association) awarded the MAD, formerly known as the American Craft Museum in its previous location, with its Big Apple Award for Design.
At 103, Eva Zeisel remains active in the world of design, lending her eye for form and technical expertise to contemporary potters and manufacturers. Her recent works include designs for KleinReid, Nambe, Orange Chicken Gallery, and Crate & Barrel in the U.S. and firms throughout the world."

The oldest artist I have ever seen, I can't remember her name but she spoke at my graduation and she worked in ceramics all her life and recently decided that she was quitting that and going to save the chimpanzees.
So I guess she decided no, or went crazy. I think that is what I am going to do when I have had enough go work with animals something completely opposite from what I am doing now.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and you will still be able to make animated gifs

If I live that long, I hope to be cruising around on my longboard in some balmy corner of the Atlantic; taking long walks with the wife; freelancing only on projects that I care deeply for; perhaps doing a bit of teaching; hanging with grand/great-grandkids. I have no desire to fully retire, ever. That could change, but men in my family don't really retire. We work until we drop.

out of necessity I, too, will work until I drop, at a considerably younger age than 103

at that age I should be able to design something literally out of thin air using nothing but my hands...(holograms)

2081...
I think its entirely reasonable to think we will have gotten over a lot of the ageing issue by then, growing new body parts etc and extending life exponentially further than we have managed to in the last 70 years even. I'd hope to be witnessing a gleaming new epoch in human civilisation by then, and the possibilities for design in such a world are near endless.
