Bob, that's the guy!!
I did a job where the AC contractor's son was working as foreman. Although he was pretty knowledgeable, I just couldn't look him in the face without laughing
He put some kind of grey mousse on his green hair a couple of times, and it looked like he'd been at the beach...under a flock of seagulls & pelicans.
If "new tech" looks good, then so should this sconce, hung above a piece of art that appears (to me) to be ripped up painter's rags glued to a piece of cardboard.
It kind of reminds me of the story "The Emperor's New Clothes". ("But it's just a piece of tin")
