Taco Tuesdays make themselves right at home and settle down for a friendly game of Fireball.
Taco Tuesdays Bicycle Club is a positive cultural gathering that encourages art, community and healthy living through bicycling and having low cost fun by utilizing public spaces. As a Taco Rider, you get to see and explore exoteric parts of Los Angeles that you could never experience in a car. Taco Tuesdays is inspirational and has helped produce music and art that continues to promote its positive message. The art and music that TT has produced has been displayed and played in county museums and art galleries around the Southland and beyond. Please join us for a community bicycle ride starting at Media Park every Tuesday at 8:30pm. Please have your bicycle in working order with front and rear lights. Thank you and see you Tuesday!
Opening minds, bringing people together, fixing flats, burning fingers, and keeping kids off the streets by keeping them on the streets for more than 8 years and 400 Tuesdays - a true westside institution.
QVLT!
Little alien grasshopper.
All the shadows were made by me, bottom with a lens hood and top with a leaf. I find it a little more interesting like this.
SOOC.

Nobody imagined that the alien invasion would begin in rural Wexford!!
Part of the windfarm near Kilmuckridge in Co. Wexford. I'm not sure if the photo gives the true scale of the size of these things, They're massive! See the trees for scale. When the tip of the rotor is at its highest point of rotation, the overall structure has a height of approximately 100 metres (330 ft).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From wikipedia:
The windfarm commenced operation in 2005 and has a capacity of 42 MW and consists of 21 gearless E-70 E4 Enercon wind turbines. It is clearly visible from the R742 regional road. Some of the windmills are within a couple of hundred metres of it.
The produced energy in one year is 110 GWh. This equals the yearly consumption of 125,000 people or 31,500 four person households. Within 3.7 months of operation the wind energy converters (WEC) at this site had produced an amount of energy equivalent to that used in their construction and installation, including production of the materials. For the next 20 years the wind farm will be producing electricity without using any resources and without pollution.
The E-70 turbines have rotor diameters of 71 m, so the swept area is 3,959 m². The nacelle, in the hub height of 64 m, is assessable through a ladder within the tower, which is 4.2 m in diameter at the base and 2.9 m at top. The nacelle itself has a diameter of 5m, the height of a two storey building. The turbine rotor spins with a speed between 6 and 21.5 rpm and the rotor hub is directly coupled to the synchronous generator without a gear box for transmission. The turbine switches in at a wind speed of about 2.3 m/s. It reaches its nominal output at a speed of 12.5 m/s, where the pitch system of the rotor blades starts to limit the electrical power output automatically. Above wind speeds of 25 m/s the power output is gradually reduced again until the turbine switches off for protection at about 34 m/s.
The electricity is generated at voltages of around 400 V and up to 2,300 As, and at variable frequency proportional to the variable speed of the rotor. All produced energy is converted into direct current (DC) by a rectifier inside the nacelle and conducted to the inverters located in the bottom of the turbine tower. The inverters modulate the DC into alternating current (AC) with 50 Hz grid-compliant frequency. Each turbine has a transformer inside the tower which transforms the voltage to the 20 kV internal grid voltage of the wind farm. At the tail station, a wind farm transformer increases the voltage to 110,000 V and it is fed into the ESB (national power company) network through 21 km underground cables.
The coastal location is close to Cahore Point on the Irish Sea.
Claes Hake (b. 1945) - The American (1970-1972). In the collection of the Gothenburg Museum of Art, Sweden.
The Museum comments: "Enormous horns made of fibre glass, painted in the colours of the American flag, writhe like tentacles. This wall-mounted sculpture recalls a hunting trophy that has mutated into an alien life-form. The work was commissioned by HSB, a Swedish housing company to embellish a tenement building. At first, the artist's sketches were approved. However, when the commissioners saw the colour scheme, the sculpture e+was refused, the motive being that it was too political. (...) It was acquired by the Gothenburg Museum of Art in 1991."
Stardate 1130.11. The crew of the USS Enterprise encounters hostile beings from an advanced civilization. After the Enterprise is fired upon, Lieutenant Chekov launches photon torpedoes and the alien craft is destroyed.
Paint progress on "The Beast "- ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Moving right along with the paint apps to the head sculpts. I have multiple head sculpts made for the creature and several for the beast from Alien: Isolation. Many have made their opinions known about whether or not the skull should be seen through the front of the dome. In my next blog entry, I will elaborate my thoughts about when it should..and when it should not be shown and how it has influenced my choices when painting the head sculpts. More to come as always!!! #alien #nostromo #giger #painting
Cheap plastic Poundland Alien (though he was actually 50p as they are 2 for £1)
At that price I could have a garden full of aliens!
"The Stowaway" - Build progress on "the beast" as part of the Narcissus Diorama Build - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Most parts of the creature haven't been assembled yet and have been laid against one another to give a sense of what the final figure will look like. Articulation will be in the neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists. Everything else will be static. It will have alternate heads including one with the inner mouth extended. #alien #narcissus #stowaway #giger #xenomorph #biomechanical #nostromo #sculpture
There are 2 aliens in this shot, first is the obvious, the bottle, the second is teenagers. I'm am mystified by my teenagers.

This Alien Art Sculpture has a pretty face shaded from deep purple to light blue. Her face is surrounded with waves of twisty color that seem to undulate and vibrate. This is part of her skin! Her beautiful blue eyes also have a shimmering gold color in them. Atop her head are three antennas. The twisty swirls of color also travel up the antennas.
I used clear glass cabochons for the eyes and hand painted the back of them to create the effect that I wanted. I also hand sculpted her face creating refined and delicate features. I then added all the twisty strands of undulating colors. This is all original and created by me.
I love these purple Tibouchina flowers, the middle almost looks like an alien or a sea creature. I think this fills the frame.
A brand spanking new X-files themed tattoo! Go check it out on the marketplace.
All system layers and omega applier included.
And Finally some Aliens, now go buy the book ;)
It’s got a very nice chapter by SlyOwl ( www.flickr.com/photos/27444109@N04/) , so you really should get a copy.
Special thanks to Laura and Nathan.
