A prominent man once said: Once you have tasted flight, you'll long for the sky.
True :)

FKDL―Métro Monde
14.10.2009 - 12.11.2009
Artiste autodidacte, Franck Duval dit FKDL, pratique le collage sous toutes ces formes depuis 1997: Art scotch, tableaux et art de rue. En 2006, il fait naître une famille de vingt silhouettes aux voluptés noires sur les murs de Paris puis New-York, Berlin, Londres, Barcelone, Turin… Se démarquant par des fonds unis de couleurs vives, ces personnages à la gestuelle pleine d’entrain sont parés d’anciennes revues et font office de signature FKDL dans l’univers du Street Art.
Pour cette nouvelle série qu’il nous présente sur toiles et bois, à la galerie SINCE, Franck Duval a débusqué un trésor derrière les ciels de faïence et les placards publicitaires du métro parisien ! Des lambeaux de réclames oubliés des années 50 qui deviendront une seule et même matière première, sur laquelle s’égaye une série de silhouettes en noir & blanc, toutes parées d’acteurs et surtout d’actrices de cette même époque. Tout ceci pour nous rappeler un passé pas si lointain au fond. Celui de nos pères qui jalousaient Montand d’être auprès de Gina Lollobrigida, qui ne restaient pas insensible aux charmes de Bardot, qui se retrouvaient dans la candeur de Tati ou dans la gouaille de Gabin, qui s’attendrissaient de la rudesse d’Anthony Quinn…FKDL s’infiltre dans notre imaginaire créé par ces figures cinématographiques et éveille notre mémoire pour y laisser sa propre empreinte imagée.
Self taught artist, Frank Duval, aka FKDL, is an adept of collage in all its forms since 1997 : art scotch, paintings, murals, street art… In 2006, he creates a family of 20 black voluptuous silhouettes on the walls of Paris, before taking them to New-York, Berlin, London, Barcelona, Turin…
Once they’re adorned with bits from vintage magazines, his figures, with their characteristic colored backgrounds and their happy body language, make FKDL a unique signature in the universe of street art.
For this new, it is inside the Parisian subway that FKDL drew the material for his new serie exhibited at the Since.Upian Artspace. Underneath the earthenware tiles and the branded posters, the artist, endless strider of the streets and entrails of the French capital, stumbles upon a treasure: strips of olds ads, forgotten remnants of the 50’s. Vintage colors, shapes and fonts that instantly take us back in time, when our fathers would envy Montand for being so close to Lollobrigida or smile at Brigitte Bardot’s charms, enjoy Tati’s candor, Gabin’s cheekiness or roughness of Quinn’s unkindness…
FKDL invites our imagination to feast upon these glimpses of the past and plays with our own memory so he can leave his own imprint.
Of course, I didn't actually get a picture of the giant stride! Duh.
The giant stride was one of the most difficult skills I had to learn during certification (with mask clearing as the hardest). Last year, I refused to do it at the reef, since there were stairs. This year, I got a little more confident and was able to do it more often, even during a night dive. Side bar: I even got better at mask clearing!

I needed a new pair of jeans. For the last year I've been getting cheap crap from Asda because I've been skint. It's worked out as a false economy though, as they last a couple of months then split.
I decided I was going to splash out on a pair of Levis or Wrangler. Where to get them from. I'm on holiday, I don't want to go into London. Bedford I suppose? Closer to home in Biggleswade in fact. Theresa showed me a great little shop called Strides, run by two guys called Pete & Rob. The service was second to none. The guy knew what he was talking about, and helped me get the right fit. You wouldn't get service like that in Top Shop or Burtons!!! Biggleswade
This visit was a last minute decision on the way back from a trip further north. It's a stunning place. Exceedingly remote but definitely worth the visit. There are several arches (other than the one in the byre at Cairnhead) and walking to them all is a fairly serious undertaking, but the nearest one is only a couple of miles from the car-park at the end of the track.

Stride it out young one! This well-developed juvenile Australian Brush (or Scrub) Turkey, Alectura lathami, is one of several at various stages of development that are using the garden as a thoroughfare to their more preferred bushland beyond right now.
Sincere thanks for visiting my Australian nature offerings!

Stride Rite Shoes at the Temecula Promenade, I recall one time a coworker telling me that when it opened in 1999, the Macy's Women's store once had a stride rite shoe department but it closed when this store opened, I have not been able to confirm that since that coworker retired a while back ago, still it's a very nice looking store for children's shoes.

Two runners almost perfectly match stride for stride during the 2009 Austin Marathon. I think the female runner is the pro triathelete, Desiree Ficker of Austin. She looked very strong and finished second in the half marathon.
