Aaron took the Acrylic and Stainless Steel Gaming Table which he designed and created for the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and brought it to a new level of exhilarating design art.

Collaborating with his partner, Anne-Louise Ewen, Aaron took Anne’s text-art: Latin Phrases and a dirty ancient latin poem by Catullus, and bejeweled his gaming table with the images in his signature graffiti style.

“We wanted it to feel like one of those beautiful places you stumble upon and can never remember how you got there, but remember for the rest of your life. “

Here is a translation of the poem:

1969, Vintage: A Division of Random House, The Poems of Catullus, A Bilingual Edition translated by James Michie

Please, Ipsitilla, sugar,
my doll, kid, baby, please
tell me to come this afternoon;
contribute to my ease
by letting no one lock your door,
by staying where you are; what’s more,
get set to soothe me, as I choose,
with nine uninterrupted screws.
Whatever gives, don’t make me wait:
I’m lying, filled with all I ate,

watching my tunic stand up straight.
