The French poster for War Of The Gargantuas is just for cool for words. I did not know that movie cam out in France.
or Love of Alphabet, Letter Love, Love Letter? What do you think I should call this picture I made? It’s gouache on watercolor paper. The size is 50 x 65 cm. There is no frame that has those measurements… it's a bugger! So now I have to order a customized frame, and they are extremely expensive.
But I have learn my lesson so next time I will double check the standard measurements on frames before I throw my self into creativity ;-)
Would you consider buying a poster like this? (With the right measurements of course and a reasonable price!)
I’m thinking of order some prints of this alphabet picture.
It’s not a first-class photo, I wanted to scan it but it wouldn’t fit in my little scanner ;-)
I will take some photos when I have framed it and its up on the wall.

I actually started this Dr. Killdeath drawing before the other one, but it was taking so long I had to take a break from it and do something else for a while.
I had a ton of Little Golden Books when I was a kid. I read them and read them until they fell apart. This is my homage to them.
Somehow I doubt we'll ever see a book titled "Dr. Killdeath" in the children's section of a bookstore.

If you built a webpage, then you've built a webpage. You are completely invisible unless you make your visible. There is a ton of internet noise out there and it's your job to stand out from the crowd.
This is Richard N. Stephenson at sidewages.com.
[The following is a transcript of the introduction video.]
Now I am going to cover some of the myths of a website and why it's needed and all of that jizz-jazz. I will be doing these as vlogs and then leveraging it out into all kinds of different things.
So if I blank out, it's probably because I am trying to be safe. But all of this is setup nicely so I don't have to touch it. And I've done it before and it works out pretty nicely. Don't try this at home kids unless you're a trained professional or something like that.
I'm probably going to split this up over 10 different videos for whatever purpose so I will use this next part as the general intro.
Here are the Top 10 Myths of Having a Website in a Business, brought to you by sidewages.com and Richard Stephenson.
Okay, here we go:
MYTH # 1: IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
MYTH # 2: A WEBSITE IS ONLY A BUSINESS TOOL
MYTH # 3: DESIGN IS EVERYTHING
MYTH # 4: MORE VISITS = MORE SALES
MYTH # 5: WEBSITES ONLY NEED IMAGES & TEXT
MYTH # 6: JUST COPY YOUR COMPETITORS
MYTH # 7: WEBSITES SELL THEMSELVES
MYTH # 8: WEBSITES CAN'T TRACK SALES DATA
MYTH # 9: NEWSLETTERS ARE JUST A FORMALITY
MYTH #10: WEBSITES NEED TO BE PERFECT
Thanks a lot for checking out this series about the 10 biggest myths on having a website for your business.

This was on the back of this 1913 picture of my grandfather. Unfortunately, while several people in my family speak Greek, none of them can read it. I'm posting this here hoping to get a translation. See also here. If anyone reading this can translate it, please let me know!
Update: yanni writes:
I don't think this is your papou writing, when he's a baby on the picture.
It is "like if" your papou (Georgios K. Kardakis) is writing this but it's definately another person (his mother?).
On the picture, around his head, you can read "Christos Anesti"..a greeting the Greeks use during Easter.
You probably know that Greeks celebrated their namedays sometimes more than their birthdays. In the first lines the text is a greeting and a wish for your papou's dad (your grand-grandfather) nameday. "For the purpose of your nameday, I wish you, my daddy, many happy years."
(During Easter, the names "Paskalis, Lambros, Anestis, Anastasios and Georgios" are celebrated).
Then the text goes on like: "I, your son Georgios K. Kardakis, kiss your right hand. My daddy, who you are not in Greece and left me as a small child. Now when you'll come back, you'll find a young man."
In the middle upper square: "Come back, my dad".
On the right there is a nice poem, they probably said for those who left Greece. I try to pass the meaning through as good as I can: "My beautiful swallows and doves...if you find my daddy, tell him a few words...tell him that I am handsome, tell him that I grew up...tell him that I'm not used to the trouble he left me."
I couldn't make out all of the words, but the meaning was more or less this. I hope it was helpful.
I'm very indebted to yanni for his translation. It appears that my great-grandfather came over a few years before my great-grandmother and grandfather; I had not known that before. I guess also he originally planned to go back to Greece; that didn't end up happening (my grandfather never went back after he came here at the age of 6).
Please feel free to comment if you have corrections, additions, etc.

Save Our City graffiti at the old Save-On-Meats in Vancouver's Downtown East Side. Sadly, the graffiti disappeared when the shop reopened later in the year.
I added some grunge and grit to this version to give it a bit more character.

Now we're talking. This one is a rarity. Not easy to find, a perfect replica of the 1976 Boss CE-1 tones. Serial number 830, a pedal out of production.

Der Grandfey - Viadukt an der Bahnlinie von B.ern nach Freiburg gehört zu den grössten
Brücken der Schweiz.
.
.
Bei Grandfey rund 4 Kilometer östlich des Bahnhofs von Freiburg überquert die Bahn das
tief in den M.olassefelsen eingeschnittene und breite Tal der S.aane. Die Bahngesellschaft
Chemins de fer fribourgeois beauftragte 1856 den Ingenieur Leopold Blotnicki mit Studien
für diese aufwändigste Bauaufgabe in ihrem Streckennetz.
Von 1858 bis 1862 wurde die 334 m lange und 82 m hohe Brücke von der Baufirma Schneider
& Cie. in Le Creusot als Stahlfachwerkkonstruktion ausgeführt. Sechs auf mächtigen Stein-
fundamenten stehende Gitterpfeiler trugen einen starken Fachwerkbalken, auf den der Ober-
bau der Schienen zu liegen kam.
Im Innern des Fachwerkträgers gab es eine Passage für Fussgänger und kleine K.arren.
Damit erschloss der Grandfeyviadukt für den leichten Landverkehr eine neue Passage über
die lang gestreckte und sehr unwegsame S.chlucht der S.aane.
Mit der Elektrifizierung des Schienennetzes der Schweizerischen Bundesbahnen musste
die Brücke verstärkt werden, um die schwereren und schneller fahrenden Lokomotiven
und Zugskompositionen tragen zu können.
Nach einem Konzept des Pioniers grosser Betonbauten in der Schweiz Robert Maillart erhielt
der Grandfey - Viadukt von 1925 bis 1927 seine neue Gestalt. Zwischen den sechs vollständig
einbetonierten Stahlfachwerkstützen liegen weite Betonbögen, über deren Scheitel der er-
neuerte Fussgängerweg verläuft.
Die sieben Bögen weisen lichte Weiten von 42 m auf. Auf den mächtigen Hauptbögen ruht
eine lange Reihe schlanker Arkaden, die das Bett der Geleiseanlagen tragen. Mit der
doppelten Bogenreihe gewinnt das grosse Bauwerk eine monumentale klassizistische Form.
Durch den Bau der S.taumauer S.chiffenen, welche 1964 beendet wurde, steht der untere Teil
nun im Wasser des S.chiffenensees.

Passage und Skulptur von Richard Serra
***************************************************************************************************************

Die Passage durch den Grandfey - Viadukt gehört zu den schönsten Punkten im Strecken-
netz der Wanderwege und der Radwege des Kantons Freiburg. Bei dieser Passage befindet
sich eine moderne Skulptur des amerikanischen Künstlers Richard Serra.
Das Kunstwerk stellt einen L - förmigen Stahlträger dar und wurde im Jahr 1987 erstellt. Im
August 2007 wurde das Objekt durch die Montierung eines Handlaufes durch die SBB ge-
schädigt. Bei der Bevölkerung ist die Skulptur umstritten, da sie vor allem für die Radfahrer
störend und gefährlich ist.
.
.
Will man das Grandfey - Viadukt besuchen reist man am besten mit dem Zug nach Friburg /
Freiburg und anschliessend mit dem Buslinie 1 der TPF bis Poya. Von hier aus läuft man
noch etwa 10 Minuten auf der rechten Seite der Bahnstrecke Richtung B.ern.

This is a couple of pages from the first 300 pages of an illuminated manuscript of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales which was probably written sometime between 1420 and 1440. Scholars disagree on a specific date of publication. The Chaucer was written in England in one hand and the dialect and spelling include a significant of West Midland and North Midland forms. This copy is believed to have been held at Petworth for at least 400 hundred years.
The historic document is displayed in a sealed glass case. Each day the page is turned to reduce any light damage. Some pages have beautiful decoration as well as the amazing hand-written script. Sadly on this day there was little decoration on view. Never-the-less is is a beautiful piece of work.
