so i finally finished this painting--it was so freaking huge, my computer crashed several times but it was a request from a friend of mine which ask me to do the portrait of one of his friends and with one of his own portraits, as a birthday present, i dont know anything about the guy but i kinda made up a pretty fucked up personality for him (dunno if it could be as the real one), kind of a badass, always waiting to mentally abuse of someone, always waiting to get himself a little laughing time, such a nice guy =)

Sunbathing Firebugs / Feuerwanzen (Pyrrhocoridae)
One week ago in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
Have a wonderful weekend !
An Otago firebug who loved to torch farmers’ stacks of wheat went unpunished on 16 October 1864 after a jury of 12 men admitted that they had no idea who was causing mayhem in the district.
This was the subject of a coroner’s inquest. It is a little known fact that coroners once investigated destruction of buildings when no one actually died, but it’s rare to find a full coroner’s jury empanelled to investigate the destruction of a crop. They weren’t up to the task and the Queenstown coroner found that “some person to the Jurors unknown feloniously, wilfully and maliciously did set fire to the said stacks belonging to the said Thomas MacIntyre.”
The foreman added: “the Jury deplore the frequency of fire in the district and refer the matter to the Provincial Government.”
It is not recorded what happened next – did the firebug quit while he was ahead or did the crops continue to burn?
Shown here is part of MacIntryre’s statement to the Coroner.
