BB King, ‘Live at The Regal’, 1965. A live album recorded in Chicago, acknowledged as one of the greatest Blues and/or live albums ever made. Mine’s a 1983 reissue from Ace Records – originals cost up to £150. I’ve grown fonder of BB as I get older. This isn’t raw, gutbucket blooze. It’s slick, tight, sophisticated, smooth and fluid big band. BB King’s guitar tone is clear and bright with a big voice to go with it. This album feels alive coz it is. From the introduction, to BB talking to the audience, to the shouts and screams of that audience, you’re in the room.
Listen in one sitting as it all flows, BB introducing each number, leading the band and audience on little journeys and stories. From slow, single bended notes from BB to big vamped up drums, saxophones, piano and horns, the band is locked solid, following BB who is in supreme control of the room. There’s warmth, humour, community, joy, occasional sadness, a whole shared experience. The gig was recorded on a Saturday night. It sounds like it: working week’s over, it’s the weekend. Forget your worries for a while, (of which there would have been many for the mainly black crowd back then in Amerikaland …)
‘Worry, Worry’ is just one example of taking the crowd with you and typical of BB’s voice, his guitar sound and the band’s playing. The whole album will make you smile.

[For some meaningful things]
1:7.5 scale. Multimedia--acrylic paint and Pigma Micron on plastic, foam, airdry clay, paper, MDF, celluloid, wood, and metal.
All of him was made from scratch! The body is a 3 inch dollarama foam ball skewered with a wooden stick, smoothed with airdry clay and then painted with acrylics. The head is a 40mm ping-pong ball cut in half fixed to a yogurt bottle cup and a MDF ring I cut. Antennae are scrap wire dipped in paint. Main sensor eye is made of a googly eye I sanded open, with a paper ring wrapped around the circumference (I had to count and cut out the number of little teeth on the ring!). The actual graphic inside the eye was the only digital element of the droid--I designed and printed out something I whipped up on illustrator (which I ultimately had to go over again in marker because my printer wasn't good enough). Spheres are a real pain to draw straight lines on, so I had to rely on some cardboard and paper jigs I had to make, as well as some basic trigonometry and math. Base is MDF.
I had originally finished this little guy a little before Force Friday last September, but never got around to taking proper pictures until now.
The reason why I made it during that time was because I knew pictures of the millions of different toy and fan versions of our favourite ball would soon flood the net, choking out any and all accurate and reliable pictures of the real props to base my model on. Nonetheless it was nothing short of a chore to research everything--where each of the 6 orange tool-bays belonged, what orientations each were in relative to each other, whether they were lined up 90 degrees or 45 degrees, where each of the vents were...lots of fun. And as it turns out, even within the "official" versions, I had found some differences between them! Many hours were spent pausing and rewinding the Celebration Anaheim video of BB-8 rolling on stage in order to get the details of the head right, and even more time trying to amass enough pictures to understand what the complete ball looked like--the photographers always seem to miss one panel.
Overall I would say my model is fairly accurate given the scarcity of proper reference pictures at the time. Some things could be improved, like the position of the little circles between the orange tool bays and just the general edge fidelity of painted sections but right now I'm happy with what I've got.

The BB-22 is a modern twist on an old classic. A jack-of-all-trades workhorse of any navy or pirate fleet.
With a dual-frag-turret on it's bow, and tracking ion cannons fore, aft and dorsally, it is capable of holding ground against both capital ships and fighters, although not both and not in great numbers.
The BB-22 is usually found tightly tucked into escort position around a larger ship, or screening a cargo vessels from assault.
BB loves to be outside, and is always watching for and pouncing on bugs in the grass. Watch the video of BB using her two-wheeled kitty cart, next in my photostream!
