The very first Bond gadget is a bridge between the nostalgic past of the Cold War and modern technology. Here I increase the depth of this bridge, to the 19th century, on a whim perhaps Fleming, a collector of antiquarian books, esoteric information, and old gold coins, may appreciate.
The legendary initials of 'JB' are also shared by another man, Johann Sebastian Bach. The genesis of his Goldberg Variations is amalgamated with the iconic attache case from this film. Bach's payment of 100 Louis d'Ors are now represented as 10 ancient Macedonian coins, something that Fleming, whose family was in banking, would have around. An english virginal, digitized, and a pair of english fruit knives from Boswell's time adds to the folly.

'the sacred name of Roma is Amor...'
I swam
across the Roman Empire
(sleeping seldom)
opening my small eyes
at moments;
often
to smell the masculine pique
of a hardworn sagum
or
hear an elegant lie
from liquid senatorial lips.
once -
I put my hands inside
the birthing Cleopatra
and felt !
the burgeoning soft head of Caesarion !
I can remember the salty taste
of Carthage.... the bright long fields of Hispania... the arrogant kiss of a proud
Phoenician hetaera... and even the succulence of spirit basking in the air and light at Massilia.

This 134,618 square foot Target Greatland (#668) opened on October 13th, 1991 along with two other Columbus Area stores. This was Target's first entry into the Columbus market. This Target still operates as a Greatland but the store will be closing in January 2016.
This Target store was built on the former site of a drive-in theater that had been open since the 1950s. The long driveway on West Broad going back to the Target store is a relic of the old drive-in. The Consumer Square shopping center originally opened with Cub Foods as a co-anchor. Cub Foods later became a Kroger store.
Some people claim this was one of the most profitable Target stores in the 1990s. That may explain why the store had 24 checkouts at one time! Since then other Columbus area Target stores have opened and many retail stores (plus Westland Mall) in the area around this Target failed. A large Hollywood Casino opened a block from here but apparently that did little to draw people to Target.
In August 2015, Target announced that this store would be closing in November, possibly on the 1st. I visited this store on November 1st (what I thought was the last day) only to find the shelves still being stocked, the Food Avenue still serving up popcorn, and the seasonal section was brimming with Christmas decorations. Everything seemed to be business as usual except for one thing, the Pharmacy was shut down. There was a note on the front door saying the pharmacy shut down in October and that prescriptions were moved to another Target.
A couple days after my visit, Target announced again that this store would be closing; this time that it would be closing on January 30th, 2016. This Target Is still closing but I will try to visit both this store and the other Target in Springfield, Ohio that is closing in mid-January.
I do have more pictures of this store from a previous trip here- www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=71978807%40N03&sort=da...

On the 4th of July the police are kind enough to leave art supplies posted to all of the telephone poles on my street. As a good citizen, I am sure to collect them all at the end of the parade...."No Parking on this Street. Per order of the Duxbury Police Department".
the street was empty and gleaming. again you were careless with your words to say.
i was afraid to say that it hurts.

Charles Gesner van der Voort (1916-1991) worked for Holland-China Trading Company (HCHC) in Shanghai. Willem Kien was made representative at the start of the firm in 1903, later he became director.
Little archival material is available today, as the Rotterdam office was bombed by German airplanes at the start of World War II in the Netherlands, in May 1940, so I am particularly pleased this deed survived, going back to the very start of the company.
The text in Dutch reads:
De ondergeteekende, de Naamlooze Vennootschap Holland China Handelscompagnie, gevestigd te Rotterdam, te Hongkong en in China, te Shanghai en Tientsin, verklaart by deze te volmachtigen den Heer Willem – Kien, koopman, wonende te Shanghai, om haar te Shanghai en overal elders, waar zulks noodig mocht zyn, te vertegenwoordigen en al hare zaken en aangelegenheden waar te nemen, te besturen en te behartigen.

A great number of Hong Kong B&W comedies released by Cathay films in the 1960's live on in our collective memories.
The ambience of Asian nightclubs, old-styled restaurants and coffee shops certainly influence my nostalgic aesthetic.This is so special to me personally that I thought that my requirement for any design here must be very extreme.
Delving into the history of European tavern clay pipes concretized this design for two fictitious restaurants from the 1962 film, "The Greatest Wedding on Earth" with the comedic actor Leung Sing-Bo. This design is for a long sculpted smoking pipe of the street with two restaurants. Multiple features are built in which come from scenes in the film.
The street corner, with the two restaurants, houses the pipe bowl with the building gap as a natural heat sink. The rear of the Pei Sing Restaurant (on the right) is a container for an antique cake of Pu-erh tea of the era that can be commemoratively consumed. Three Victorian Stanhope viewers (Microphotography) are in the elaborate pipe shank that illustrate memorable courtship scenes from the film, which take place in the elegant Emerald Nightclub.
As with most of these old HK comedies, the boss always smokes cigars and the tobacco blend will contain a good amount of cigar leaf. Detailing in the carved Meerschaum will show ferns, China pots, plastic flowers, vintage ads and restaurant signage. Compartments in the rear of the Nan Shing restaurant hold tiny amounts of preserved fruit for a Chinese tea ceremony. As a typical Pu-erh tea, the leaves must be rinsed once before brewing to wash away impurities of fermentation but any tobacco smell in the cake will bring back a sense of the past.
A pipe tamper carved as a pot of ivy from briar seconds matches the pipe stem. A traditional hard case, with a velvet green interior, houses this delicate Meerschaum.

I've been excited to have the opportunity to make drawings of Chapels in the last few months as I greatly
When Lyndon Johnson swore his oath on a hymn missal, he made Air Force One an airborne church. Notwithstanding the tragic setting historically, and not taking any political views whatsoever, this design focuses solely on the idea of a cathedral in the skies.
The church floats suspended between buildings and connects the streets by means of an open public walkway.
The lower level wall has a niche for a
choir stall which serves the five levels via an open Grand Processional aisle.
There are four sets of stairways on the sides. The procession helps the congregants remain limber, which good for long air travel, even though this church is not truly airborne.
Congregants have individual cabins, efficiently decorated to allow them to store mementoes of their life of faith. This also becomes a private form of their worship and a 'centrist' form of the heart and head spirituality.
Just as a church installs a pastor, so the choir and congregants also experience a solid, committed feeling in this type of cabin installation, reminiscent of little private gardens and chapel spaces pre-decorated with necessities, as in mass produced housing but with the goal of being available to all levels of faith.
Each cabin can provide hospitality only to a small number at a time, diffusing the boundaries of what defines a space for worship.
In a similar metaphorical way, the ground level cabins are like the catacombs.
The prominent front nose Presidential cabin is re-visioned by its similarity to the Temple of Hercules in the city of Cora, particularly as drawn by the architect Piranesi. With this revision, a relic Altarpiece is at the front, with sofas for seating and meditation and the Situation room used for prayer meetings. The rear plane press room is converted to become an offertory.
The only other eccentric touch are the small packs of Air Force One peanuts given as a souvenir and available throughout the plane. The traditional Presidential Office next to the front cabin is a snack bar which serves a world class cup of coffee to all visitors.

The last 20 or so pics that I have posted were from an overnight stay in a hotel in Nottingham. Probably the best 'dressing session' I have had! I booked the hotel online 'last minute' and managed to get a full suite for less than £100 saving nearly £200. Both bathrooms had illuminated close up make up mirrors, and everything else a girl could need. The hotel had private secluded gardens, nice bar and very friendly staff. I also managed to finish work early and check in early (before official check in time) and was able to check out at 12 the following day. You can see from the pics I was busy. You can not see that I also managed to walk into town a few times for shopping and coffee. I even managed a highstreet bar for a drink in the evening as well as the several visits to the hotel bar. Almost 24 hours as KT, still buzzing!
Some early morning thoughts----
I would like to be seen as nostalgic in every way. This includes both my choice of tools that I draw with as well as my materials.
Wealthy individuals of the 19th century often commissioned one-of-a-kind art pieces such as grand pianos. These works of art had such a presence that rooms were designed for them and around them. This idea inspires me greatly. To this extent, when I think of a favorite camera, I came up with two historical models of which I will be making a small series of designs for. The first one is the Voigtlander Brilliant V6. As this is a design done for myself, Instead of creating a space in which to display this camera i propose to create a room inside of it, directly under the focusing hood and behind the viewfinder lens assembly.
This very simple twin lens reflex had the right original design idea which suited me: it had a "hold-all" compartment (terribly named) which held extra filters and a light meter. I propose an upgrade to this, which replaces that compartment's contents with a set of plastic Hong Kong "toy camera" filters (little replicas of classic cameras sold by vending machines) and an interior door which opens up to allow the owner to view the room (my fantasy atelier) inside. There is a secret door behind the tiny bookcase as well as a hidden panel (please see attached photo below) in the wood floor leading down into the actual camera interior. Besides being an exit this is also to allow one to clean and maintain the lens.
My design comes from the famous Dell "Mapback" Detective stories from the 1920's which enthralled me to no end as a young child. I'm also in love with the concept of creating physical entrances into the interior of the camera which parallel the basic idea of the camera as a box with optical entrances. 'Where the light goes, we follow' is my motto.
The Voigtlander Brilliant V6 had troublesome gears in the focusing mechanism which rendered the otherwise fabulous optics to be useless decades later unless you found one in perfect mint condition. However, digitizing it would solve this problem completely and create the space needed inside for this proposed one-of-a-kind book room. Lastly, there is also the humor of having a camera in front of a camera (the toy camera in front of the main camera lens).
This design can be made into a pinhole camera.
Secret panels in bookcases and secret passages in rooms had become overused in detective fiction from the 1890's through the 1920's to the point that famed authors as Ronald Knox decried its further abuse by stating that secret passages should appear only in stories which took place in very old houses or castles (or in this case, cameras).
Note: my little side drawing affixed with yellow tape, as you can see, was penned on the stationary of one of New York's legendary steakhouses, Keen's chop house. If you're in NYC, please sample their double lamb chops with homemade citrus mint jelly, the combination is just out of this world.
Please view on black.

"Peace I leave with you; MY Peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." ~ John 14:27
MEDITATION
"HE promises HIS followers a final blessing: HIS Peace. This is not just any Peace; Jesus says, “My Peace I Give.” The Peace of Jesus—the Peace that surpasses understanding, the Peace that remains constant even in suffering, the Peace that cannot be stolen or shaken—this is the Peace HE freely gives to us! In a world full of uncertainty and conflict, there is no greater gift than the Peace of Christ…” www.wau.org
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, may YOUR Peace be always with me. ...YOU, alone, O Lord, are my Peace. May I always reside in that Peace by believing YOUR Word and by doing YOUR Will.” ~ www.dailyscripture.net

Manuscript title: Passover Haggadah
Manuscript summary: This Hebrew manuscript from the 15th century combines liturgical texts and commentaries on the rites that provide the temporal foundation for the observation of Passover. The Passah-Haggadah, adorned with miniatures and rich illustrations, contains the complete liturgical version of the Exodus story. The first part of the manuscript contains the text of the Italian rite, the second part that of the Ashkenazi. This manuscript was written and illuminated by Joël ben Siméon, who signed his work with a Kolophon (f. 34r): I am Joel ben Simeon, called Veibusch Ashkenazi – blessed be his memory – and I am from Cologne, which is on the banks of the Rhine.
Origin: Cologne (Germany)
Period: 15th century

In the Tora-San comedy series, Tako is my favorite character. A hilarious signature skit in every film has him fighting with Tora-San over money issues.
This light hearted design for an Octopus-themed musical instrument is an ocarina and a flask for Sake cocktail with black cephalopod ink. When you pucker and play the ocarina, your mouth and lips will be stained black, and the unnecessary puckering will make annoying sounds too! Your mouth will reek of alcohol, but you will not be very drunk, and can offer a fierce fight with Tora-San.
The instrument can be made in a range of sizes (the bass size uses curved tubing for the mouthpiece). The instrument is covered with a paper mâché skin made of vintage 1950's issued 100-yen notes.
