Godiva is a 33 feet high puppet which is travelling from Coventry to London as part of the Cultural Olympiad. When she arrived in Northampton she was presented with a bespoke pair of riding boots made by a local manufacturer - size 72! Unfortunately she was wearing a long skirt, which meant that we could only see a small part of them.
After receiving the boots on the Market Square she made her way around the town centre preceded by a motley crew made up of the Mayor,and some Councillors, corset wearing Morris Dancers, Belly Dancers, the 'Ministry of Cycles', and 'Wicker Maidens' - who I assume were the yong ladies bearing flowers.

Tom Otterness (b. 1952 in Wichita, Kansas) is an American sculptor whose works adorn parks in New York---
most notably in Rockefeller Park in Battery Park City and in the 14th Street/8th Avenue subway station---and other cities around the world. His style is very cartoonish and cheerful, and the forms of his sculptures often consist of many blobs and pipes, giving them a humorous look. These sculptures depict, among other things, huge pennies, pudgy characters in business suits with moneybag heads, helmeted workers holding giant tools, and crocodiles crawling out from under sewer covers. The main theme of his work seems to be the struggle of the little man against the Capitalist machine in a difficult and strange city.
As primarily a public artist, Otterness' has shown popular exhibitions in locations across the United States, including New York City, Indianapolis, and Beverly Hills. His studio is located in the DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn.
His most recent exhibition of public sculpture in Grand Rapids, Michigan is his largest to date, featuring more than 40 works across two miles of the city's downtown area and at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.
Otterness is best known to New Yorkers for his "Life Underground" series of sculptures, which are primarily located in the 14th St/8th Avenue subway station, which was commissioned in 2000 and fully installed by 2002.
Journalist Gary Indiana criticized Otterness for an independent work done while part of the East Village art scene in the mid-eighties called "Shot Dog Piece", in which Otterness allegedly "adopted a dog and then shot it to death for the fun of recording his infantile, sadistic depravity on film." When student Matthew Goad, a candidate for student government president at Wichita State University, learned of this act, Wichita State began questioning a USD$450,000 commission, which would cost an additional USD$150,000 for shipping, however, at present it looks as if the project continued may as planned. Otterness commented that "In 1977, I was a young artist having a very rough time. I had anger at myself and at the world. What I did was symbolic of how I was feeling internally and it is something I would never do today.

Part of our nightly routine is reading books. I picked up a handful of these board books to keep in the Kiddo's room because he is in a "tearing pages phase" of life and cannot be trusted with real books. Turns out, these are exactly what he needed anyway, since we are still working on getting up to speed on our speech. Also: Fox in socks, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Mr. Brown Can Moo, Peekaboo Who, Brown Bear Brown Bear, Go Dog Go, and Hand Hand Fingers Thumb (for anyone looking for great speech aids in the way of preschool appropriate reading).
A birthday / Christmas present for a friend, based off Skillet's album cover for "Awake". Turned out sweet, and I'm not sure why, but it took approximately 14 hours. A pretty simple drawing, but I put lot of work into it. I've got a few other present projects going at the moment for family and friends, getting a little annoyed with drawing, that may be what took so long... But I'm happy with the result! I'm in the process of sorting all my LEGOs right now, I'll try to get that Bricklink store up and running soon!

I teach at a wilderness camp. The early rising can mean some spectacular sunrises. This day was somewhat dreary and overcast but these abandoned canoes just burst with color. I loved the harmony of their placement in contrast with the reflected pine trees.

Now I know what I believe inside.
Now it's my time, I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life.
Here, right now I'll stand my ground and never back down.
I know what I believe inside. I'm awake and I'm alive.
