Ok... its official. Full details are up and registration is now open on my SketchingNow site.
www.sketchingnow.com/foundations-course/
Please pop over to find out all about it.
I am excited beyond words - I can't believe that after months and months of serious planning, developing my idea and then putting it all together...it is up! I have thought for a long time about what I would most like to do with an online class - and how could I make it so it was the closest to my weekly sketching classes. And well the SketchingNow idea is the result - a concept a week - slow paced - fresh content based on local sketching adventures as I explored my beautiful home town of Sydney.
Now that all the back-of-house stuff is up - the good stuff can start. Pulling all the core content together (it has been sitting waiting for me for months) and ... working out what parts of Sydney I will go and doing some serious cafe research. So... which comes first? Making a decision on the suburb because of it character or collating a list of the top cafes of Sydney and working around that? ....Ah! such important planning to come! No seriously, this course is NOT about sitting in cafes drinking tea - it does have an important supporting role - but SketchingNow Foundations is all about explaining my core concepts and then applying them to sketching out on the streets.
Anyway - I will be sharing my preparations here on my blog (as always!)... but today I am getting ready for a real life 2-day workshop in The Rocks starting tomorrow, doing illustration work and somehow trying to find a little time to get up to date with my daily sketching.
Oh! and a big thank you for all those that have already registered... It is very exciting to have a number of you so keen to sign up straight away like that!
Only 5 weeks to go till it starts - personally I can't wait... but I know that it will come around really soon for me.
Il 20 gennaio prossimo Bush lascerà la Casa Bianca...confidiamo in Obama,
bello, giovane e abbronzato!
it is my pleasure to let you know that i am appointed as a faculty to conduct 'n guide the said course, in the horticulture 'n forestry department of navsari agricultural college.

Abstract from the Chronicles of the Old Earth:
« In the year 2305 and asteroid is discovered in a collision course with Earth. Every State on the planet agreed to move the population to other places like Mars, the Moon, or the recent Terranova base at the Alpha Centauri B system. The evacuation of the planet was peremptory if the quasi extinction of the human race was to be avoided. Two decades afterwards, the asteroid is just upon the Earth, but reduces its velocity drastically, until impacting on the province of Badajoz (Spain), in the European continent. The great crater becomes a tourist attraction, and many of the exiles return to their homes to resume a life they began to yearn. »
« In 2335, millions of insectoid looking bugs emerge from the depths of the Earth. Like a guided panspermia, the Earth is colonized by creatures that annihilate without pity any living being. The fight is fierce and brutal, the 1st Corps of International Armies fights these hordes obtaining pyrrhic victories at the expense of a lot of human lives. Troops decrease in number, and the enemies only increase. The Council of States decides almost with unanimity to abandon the fight, to let the inhabitants evacuate and leave to their devices to those who wish to stay. Mother Earth has been abandoned, and the human hearts mourn its loss. »
700 years have passed, we are in the first months of 3017, all memory of the Earth has been buried in oblivion, cut off of minds and hearts; but not only because its painful loss, but also because of some spurious motives that justify this forgetfulness. The ship Columbus, during one of its exploration voyages, suffers a breakdown in its warp drive. They are stranded in space, near a planet not reflected on the navigation charts of the knowledge core. The repairs would mean a delay of several months in its mission, but the scans have revealed interesting resources on this blue planet. An outpost is built, the terrain is conditioned for the cargo and transport platforms, allowing the research work to begin. The constructions are human, there is barely any animal life; but plenty of plat life, the atmosphere is breathable, rich in oxygen. Everything is very strange. What planet is this and how come there are no records about it? In the following days they find an ovoid case with an specimen inside, the decision is clear: transport it to the Columbus for further study. And then… then the apocalypse is unleashed.

Extracto de las Crónicas
de la Vieja Tierra:
«En el año 2305 se descubre un asteroide que tiene ruta de colisión con la Tierra. Todos los Estados acordaron trasladar a la población hacia otros lugares como Marte o la Luna y la reciente base de Terranova en el sistema Alfa Centauri B. La evacuación del planeta era perentoria si se querÃa evitar la quasi extinción de la especie humana. Dos décadas después el asteroide se cierne sobre la Tierra, pero reduce drásticamente su velocidad hasta impactar en la provincia de Badajoz (España), en el continente Europeo. El gran cráter se convierte en un reclamo turÃstico y muchos de los exiliados vuelven a sus hogares para retomar una vida que añoran.
»En el 2335, millones de bichos con aspecto insectoide emergen de las profundidades terrestres. Como una gran panspermia dirigida, la Tierra es colonizada por unas criaturas que aniquilan sin piedad a cualquier ser vivo. La lucha es encarnizada y brutal, el I Cuerpo de Ejércitos Internacional se bate contra estas hordas obteniendo pÃrricas victorias a costa de muchas vidas humanas. Los efectivos disminuyen y los enemigos no dejan de aumentar. El Consejo de Estados decide casi por unanimidad abandonar la lucha, permitir a los habitantes la evacuación y dejar a su suerte a aquellas personas que decidan quedarse. Se ha renunciado a la madre Tierra y los corazones humanos lloran la pérdida.»
Han pasado 700 años, corren los primeros meses del 3017, todo recuerdo sobre la Tierra ha sido enterrado en el olvido, cercenado de mentes y corazones; pero no sólo por lo doloroso de la pérdida, también por motivos espurios que justifican este olvido.
La nave Columbus en uno de sus viajes de exploración del universo sufre una averÃa en el motor de curvatura. Han quedado varados en el espacio, cerca de un planeta sin reflejo en las cartas de navegación del núcleo de conocimientos.La reparación supondrá un retraso de varios meses en su misión, pero los resultados de los escáneres han permitido conocer que existen recursos interesantes en ese planeta azul. Se monta un puesto de avanzada y exploración, se acondiciona el terreno para las plataformas de carga y transporte permitiendo iniciar los trabajos de investigación. Las construcciones son humanas, apenas encuentran vida animal; pero sà vegetal, la atmósfera es respirable, rica en oxÃgeno. Todo es muy extraño. ¿Qué planeta es este del que no se tienen datos?
En el devenir de los dÃas hallan una carcasa ovoide con un espécimen dentro, la decisión es clara, transportarlo a la Columbus para su ulterior estudio. Y entonces… entonces se desata el apocalipsis.

Road locomotive.
In 1895, Marcel Berliet was one of the pioneers of the motor car before achieving fame with his lorries. His cars quickly impressed in major events like the Targa Florio and the Tourist Trophy. This 6-litre machine is similar to the winner of the 1908 Targa Bologna in the hands of the fir's test driver, Porporato.

Me, Phil Edye, and Robert Mitchell, proudly stand before one of the few Holdens loaned by the local Hornsby Holden Dealership, for our two week Driver Education Course.
We were going to be tracked by Dr. Ian Henderson?? of the UNSW driver safety unit for years. I'm still alive, with an accident free record, apart from one little dingle from a spin-out on the Jenolan dirt road on a later caving trip in Mum's Standard.
www.flickr.com/photos/spelio/4654064075/ and a clean police record!!
We were taught there are no such things as "accidents"..
Always be in the right gear at the right place at the right speed at the right time! RMLAID
See also "Car Driving as an Art" by SCH Davis of the Autocar. and
"Roadcraft" The Police Drivers' Manual" by HM stationary Office
both presented to me by Eric T. Izard for "Highest marks for Driver Education Theory"
I must not have been as good at the practical, they didn't teach fast driving on winding mountain dirt roads to Jenolan Caves!!
Then I got a Beetle and learnt all about oversteer on gravel roads, on many caving trips around NSW and WA.
An article I cut out from the Canberra Times of 6-3-85
Driving Tip of the Week
A defensive driver is one who drives in a manner to prevent accidents, regardless of other drivers' faulty driving or non-compliance with traffic laws; one who is careful not to commit any driving errors himself and makes makes allowances for the lack of skill or judgement, or for an improper attitude on the part of another driver, one that does not allow hazards of weather, road conditions, absence of signs or signals to involve him in a collision or dangerous situation.
A defensive driver is prepared for the unexpected at intersections, from parked cars, where reversing, sudden stops by others or darting pedestrians. He is not caught in that last-second futile attempt to avoid an accident. He has a plan for his own and others' safety. This plan involves the ever-changing situations faced on the road.
He learns to overcome personal inadequacies and those of the vehicle. He studies the environment for hazards that cannot be eliminated, but which must be compensated for.
A defensive driver can arrive at a destination having experienced the minimum number of incidents.
Paul Glover, Motoring Writer in the Canberra Times
also wrote an article titled....
"No such thing as an accident"
Is there such a thing as a road accident?
Not a crash, or a collision, or an impact, or a head-on, but a genuine accident. An incident, perhaps fatal, which qualifies as a pure accident.
The sort of event where no-one is really to blame, and where fate or luck or whatever is the only explanation for a crazy out-of-kilter happening....
He goes on to explain why the road safety experts don't think so....
I wish the the press and NRMA would stop calling them accidents...
