Aka, Get The Freebies
Here's a weird one. Get The Freebies is a very little-known Jamie Hewlett comic from 1996, just after he completed work on Tank Girl, and just before gorillaZ reared their animated heads. It appeared exclusively in THE FACE magazine, and eventually in about 2008, was adapted into an absolutely bizarre full-length TV pilot called Phoo Action that didn't end up going anywhere unfortunately.
The basic premise is that these two you see here, Whitey Action and Terry Phoo, run around fighting the crime sprees launched by a bizarre group of mutants called The Freebies. Madness ensues.
After bingeing every shred of Freebies/Action I could find, I figured why not make the two main characters. I was originally going to go purist, but that soon proved impossible, so I shoddily painted some instead. Here's those results.
That's it for now. Cheers, all.
Action at Toton on a dismal 13th March 1979, with 20041 and 20071 on loaded coal hopper wagons, and 47197 clagging nicely heading a northbound petroleum train on the down main line. 'Peak' Class 44 44008 is in the yard ready to take a brake van north to collect a coal train.

this is my little dog in action in a place called "little tibet".

Alright, I'll admit it. I'm becoming a convert. I had never been to any kind of soccer game before this week. My granddaughters have been playing for a while, though, and I wanted to take some photographs.
This was my second visit to the immense soccer complex. Something like 40 fields. Today was the opposite of ideal. Weather in the low 40s, winds at 25mph; those who brought lawn chairs to watch were bundled up tighter than a swaddled baby. I was walking the sideline.
I am beyond impressed with the enthusiasm and skill of these young girls. To say they are devoted to the game would be to indulge in understatement. Where folks watching were wearing parkas and layers of blankets, the girls were in short sleeves; some in shorts. (Just for the record, granddaughter not in this photo.)
On this day my granddaughter's team was in purple. And through a quirk of the schedule, they had to play two full games in a row. At top speed. In awful, cold weather. And at the end of the second game they were still running and bouncing around. Winning can do that.
The season is drawing to and end, but I'll have a couple more opportunities. Shooting soccer takes a very different skill set, even from other sports photography.
I had intended to shoot one game with the Canon and 400mm; the other with the D4s and 80-400mm. It became clear quickly that the long fixed focal length lens was wrong for the task. The action moved from far to very close, very quickly, and about half the time 400mm was too long. It did, though, allow for some up close and personal shots of the intensity.
I'm now a bit in awe of what these not yet middle schoolers can do. And today's shoot involved the most exposures I've ever made on one day...2,874!
Fabrikk by Karl's kühne Gassenschau which I really like, fantastic spectacle !

Huile et émail sur toile, 89 x 116 cm, août-septembre 1941, Guggenheim museum, New-York.
Bien que Kandinsky ait été contraint de quitter l'Allemagne en 1933 en raison de pressions politiques, il n'a pas permis à l'ambiance de désolation qui imprègne l'Europe déchirée par la guerre d'entrer dans les peintures et les aquarelles qu'il a produites en France, où il est resté jusqu'à sa mort en 1944. Ses œuvres sont alors marquées par un éclaircissement général de la palette et l'introduction d'images organiques, rompant avec la rigidité de la géométrie du Bauhaus. Il s'est tourné vers les formes plus douces et plus malléables utilisées par les artistes parisiens associés au surréalisme, tels que Jean Arp et Joan Miró. Les peintures tardives, souvent fantaisistes, de Kandinsky ont également été influencées par les compositions ludiques et minutieusement détaillées de son ami de longue date et collègue du Bauhaus Paul Klee.
Durant ses premières années en France, Kandinsky expérimente les pigments mélangés au sable, une innovation technique pratiquée dans les années 1930 par de nombreux artistes parisiens, dont André Masson et Georges Braque. Bien que Kandinsky n'ait utilisé cette méthode que jusqu'en 1936, il a créé plusieurs peintures avec des surfaces riches et texturées, telles que Accompanied Contrast, dans lesquelles les plans colorés interconnectés et les petits motifs flottants dépassent légèrement de la toile. Toujours attentif et sensible aux innovations stylistiques contemporaines, l'artiste fait inévitablement intervenir ses propres intérêts sur les aspects qu'il emprunte. Comme l'a souligné l'historienne de l'art Vivian Barnett, son utilisation de formes biomorphiques, un motif privilégié par les peintres surréalistes ainsi que par Klee, témoigne davantage de sa fascination pour les sciences organiques elles-mêmes, en particulier l'embryologie, la zoologie et la botanique. Au cours de ses années au Bauhaus, Kandinsky avait découpé et monté des illustrations d'organismes microscopiques, d'insectes et d'embryons provenant de revues scientifiques à des fins pédagogiques et d'étude. Il possédait également plusieurs livres sources et encyclopédies importants à partir desquels des représentations de créatures minuscules trouvaient des équivalences abstraites dans ses peintures tardives. Un embryon rose schématisé, par exemple, flotte dans le coin supérieur droit de Dominant Curve, tandis que les figures contenues dans le rectangle vert dans le coin supérieur gauche ressemblent à des animaux marins microscopiques. Diverses actions sont imprégnées de figures organiques similaires planant au-dessus d'un champ bleu céleste. Ces images dynamiques et biomorphiques, souvent présentées dans des tons pastel, peuvent être lues comme des signes de la vision optimiste de Kandinsky d'un avenir pacifique et de l'espoir d'une renaissance et d'une régénération, après-guerre (cf. Nancy Spector, Guggenheim museum).

Happy Thanksgiving, friends ;-)
Ok. so its not a seal surfing on the back of a whale or a stoat on a woodpecker but it is a great tit standing on the back of a greenfinch.
Fun with photoshop.
