Batting is 1/4" thick and backed with purple and white gingham.

The jewels were on loan to the Spain Pavilion at the World's Fair by the Owen Cheatham Foundation; the exhibition served as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of New York University Medical Center.
Featured on the front of the card is a piece of jewelry based on the melting watch in of Dali's famous "Persistence of Memory."

HISTORICAL NOTE: datestone to right at base of tower
inscribed, 'The Lady Mary Lygon Mayoress opened this building
October 1 1896 The Rt Hon Earl Beauchamp Mayor.'
During the C18 Foregate Street was known as 'the mall' and
Tymbs' Worcester Guide of 1802 notes, 'the Foregate Street
itself, by being well paved and sufficiently broad to admit a
full circulation of air seems to be generally resorted to as a
fashionable promenade.'
Pevsner: describes this as 'a resourceful and animated,
totally asymmetrical composition in a mixed Tudor and Baroque
style'. Simpson and Allen had, earlier in the decade, won the
competition for the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum. This is an
outstanding example of late C19 municipal architecture of this
type, in its eclectic use of style redolent of the municipal
libraries of H.T. Hare, such as Wolverhampton (1902).
The Shire Hall, Statue of Queen Victoria, City Museum and
Library, and Nos 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 28, Nos 33-46
(consecutive) and No.49, Foregate Street (qqv) form a
significant group. The City Museum and Library also forms a
complimentary group with Worcester College, Sansome Walk (qv).

I arrived in LA Sunday to attend the Adobe Max conference, and decided to explore the city a bit. I happened upon this guy sitting here in front of some street art and asked him for a portrait.
I'm so grateful that sometimes people will indulge you in a moment, it means more than they know.

This is what I did when I was at my grandads today watching the ladies final at Wimbledon, the match didn't really keep my attention today.
I say 'did', I mean I drew the picture, not that I took loads of drugs.
I have gotten a bit rubbish at drawing since I left Art School, I'm trying to draw a lot more just now, so hopefully there will be an improvement over the next few uploads. Also sorry for the big crease down the middle, thats the spine of my moleskine, I couldn't quite photoshop that part out (couldn't be bothered).
Pour l’arrivée du printemps, BergeStreet a plongé les Berges de la Seine, pendant quatre semaines, dans une ambiance street au bord de l’eau ! De la fresque à l’affiche en passant par des installations, des street artistes (Sambre, Baudelocque et Hopnn) ont habillé le site en jouant avec le vocabulaire que les Berges leur évoque.
Le travail impressionnant de l’artiste français Philippe Baudelocque, qui réalise d’incroyables créations de street art simplement à la craie ou au pastel à l’huile. Il présente son carnet secret qui recèle tous les motifs de ses animaux magnifiques constitués de formes complexes. Des créations urbaines éphémères volontairement accessibles aux aléas climatiques et humains…

Street art and comic walk.

Asterix, Obelix and their colourful fellow villagers are in the process of attacking a Roman camp with much gusto. Dogmatix leads the way. It's a scene familiar to millions of readers. The diminutive but particularly brave Gaul and his rotund friend who has not had any magic potion since his childhood when he fell into the cauldron of druid Getafix need no introduction. Sales of the album have passed the 350 million mark. Their own theme park and three very popular feature films (the fourth is on the way) have ensured that Asterix and Obelix are also familiar names in households that don't have bookshelves full of comic strips. Of course, they don't know what they're missing. Asterix is the comic strip at its best: playful and exciting, but also many-layered, intelligent and full of references to culture and history. A good Asterix can be read over and over again, with the reader discovering new things each time. They are usually very funny. Asterix came into being on 29 October 1959 in Pilote magazine. Gifted artist Albert Uderzo and brilliant writer René Goscinny met in Brussels. Before Asterix, they worked together on the Indian comic strip Hoempa Pa. After Goscinny's death in 1977, Uderzo continued Asterix on his own. He wants the series to live on after his death too. Asterix and Obelix are not finished yet, much to the chagrin of the Roman centurions.

Mirit Ben Nun
Born August 8, 1966
These paintings express a personal need to delineate images and fantasies abundant with
color and emotional explosion. Signs, lines and the materials appear of their own volition
and develop as an external language bridging the eye, the hand and the painted surface.
During the making of a painting the power of the shapes emanate from an unconscious
and concealed inner dimension.
Line by line, painting after painting while repeating shapes and patterns, a creation
evolves into new shapes and patterns. With a determination that reaches obsession, Mirit
Ben-Nun keeps on returning to her art of meticulous decoration. A strong presence of
primitive ornamentation provides the artwork with a tribal facet on one hand and a
feminine touch on the other, encompassing embroidery, bead threading and weaving
among others. Ben- Nun’s beautifying urge carries within it an archetypal strata, mythic
at times, which empowers her authentic expression.

You could buy good art - most of it tasteful and satisfying - all day long at this open-air market. And what's more, I am just a sucker for Gustaf Klimt.
'I Thought I Could Find You There' It's a contemporary portrait photography project, about people in the places where I used to go with my father when I was little, although I'm not concentrating my work into images of locations but much more on people who are re-creating different memories with their own lives and experiences.
Who are the people in the same places which plenty of memories were built on? What do they look like? How different and how similar they are to my father? How do they use the same spaces of my memories to create their future memoir?
This collection of faces in the gigantic city of Sao Paulo is not ended yet, this project still under work.
This is a Dreamcast controller made of bronze. I made it at Art School, for our bronze casting project. I made it in 3 pieces - the controller, the VMU, and a rumble pack.
