Bubbles in the Car Wash

It's just a macro photo of a bubble. NO special software (hue / saturation / color) correction.

This is to announce the publication online of my illustrated children book, called “Bubble Boy”.

 

But before I start I want to tell you a story about it. I wrote this story in German under the name “Bule” about 25 years ago, at a time where I was quite a beginner in art. I needed some help, somehow, to be able to illustrate from imagination a whole story, so I inspired myself, especially for the second main character of the story, from some of the drawings, from an artist called Brian Bagnall who was my favourite Cartoonist and illustrator at that time. I don’t remember how deeply I really went into his style (simply said: how much I really copied him! :-) but not so much either) so if you like my illustrations, Brian Bagnall should get some credit too for it.

 

But now to the story of the novel. After having written it, I never tried to publish it, but I gave it to some people to read, with the original illustrations. The day arrived when somehow the whole thing disappeared and nobody around me felt responsible. I thought the last one to have it between her fingers was a young girl called Daniele, but she denied it, and after a while I gave up looking for it. Quite sad, I must say…

 

And then the years passed, I moved many different times, thought sometimes with regret about My Bubble Boy, but always less and forgot him eventually.

 

Earlier this year, in February, I suddenly received the following email (in German) though a French schoolfriends site:

 

“Everybody knows it:

 

The net is very chatty

 

and uncovers some hidden secrets

 

when you ask him the right question.

 

Now that you have a net existence

 

maybe I can add another little piece of the Puzzle

 

to your already so restless life…

 

Having saying that:

 

Keep moving, always!”

 

followed by a link to a web page, almost blank, with the following words in the middle:

 

Bule

 

bei Momo

 

I was very surprised, and at first had no idea what that was. But then suddenly I remembered: Bule! Bule, the little boy born in a soap bubble in Japan and travelling through the sky in his bubble!

 

Bule, this (unpublished) story for children which I wrote and illustrated when I sometimes let myself be called “Momo”, in honour of a little orphan living in a ruin and chasing time thieves…

 

Bule, the book which I thought was lost forever… almost forgotten… banished from my memory…

 

And I asked myself: Who sent them back to me? Well, I won’t make the story too long here, but after some investigation, I found out that it was my first husband who sent the link to me,. He had found the book back somewhere! And well, some weeks later, I was even in possession of the original drawings. You can perhaps imagine my happiness! I want here to thank him, Johannes, for having done that for me. It means immensely much to me, the story itself, and the gesture. He was by the way the one who brought me to writing too, something which I deeply enjoy, perhaps even more than painting…

 

So! Here he is, my Bubble Boy, and it is with this logo that I will serialise the story, under the names “Bubble Boy 1″, “Bubble Boy 2″, etc… I will publish here twice a week the illustrations, always, as far as possible, on Mondays and Thursdays. Starting on Thursday, 1st.January, 2009. And you will be able to read the corresponding episode of the story in Cafe Literati, the literary room of Cafe Crem,. I will give you the corresponding link every time.

RateXchange Corporation (RTX) historical price chart, all data. At $46/share it had a $1B market cap. Around 20-30 were the days we were doing a roadshow for a $35M pipe we already closed. For a short period it was the top performing stock on a major exchange. As you can imagine, it was a wild ride.

 

Last of the bubble series.

The Rock and The Bubble

 

Oh! a bare, brown rock Stood up in the sea,

The waves at its feet Dancing merrily.

 

A little bubble Once came sailing by,

And thus to the rock Did it gayly cry,

 

Ho! clumsy brown stone, Quick, make way for me:

I'm the fairest thing That floats on the sea.

 

See my rainbow-robe, See my crown of light,

My glittering form, So airy and bright.

 

O'er the waters blue, I'm floating away,

To dance by the shore With the foam and spray.

 

Now, make way, make way; For the waves are strong,

And their rippling feet Bear me fast along."

 

But the great rock stood Straight up in the sea:

It looked gravely down, And said pleasantly

 

Little friend, you must Go some other way;

For I have not stirred this many a long day.

 

Great billows have dashed, And angry winds blown;

But my sturdy form Is not overthrown.

 

Nothing can stir me In the air or sea;

Then, how can I move, Little friend, for thee?

 

Then the waves all laughed In their voices sweet;

And the sea-birds looked, From their rocky seat,

 

At the bubble gay, Who angrily cried,

While its round cheek glowed With a foolish pride

 

You shall move for me; And you shall not mock

At the words I say, You ugly, rough rock.

 

Be silent, wild birds! While stare you so?

Stop laughing, rude waves, And help me to go!

 

"For I am the queen Of the ocean here,

And this cruel stone Cannot make me fear.

 

Dashing fiercely up, With a scornful word,

Foolish Bubble broke; But Rock never stirred.

 

Then said the sea-birds, Sitting in their nests

To the little ones Leaning on their breasts,

 

Be not like Bubble, Headstrong, rude, and vain,

Seeking by violence Your object to gain;

 

"But be like the rock, Steadfast, true, and strong,

Yet cheerful and kind, And firm against wrong.

 

Heed, little birdlings, And wiser you'll be

For the lesson learned To-day by the sea.

I played around with bubbles today with backdrops of my photography on my iphone in the background. I had started with a candle in the background to add light, and it eventually evolved into this.

Isn't this the sweetest picture?!! My sweet Hubby and one of our little nieces enjoying some simple summer fun.

Bubbles, Bath, and Beyond!

 

That's Michael Chuck in the hot tub at The Inn At Langley, on Whidbey Island.

My daughter disappeared into the garage and came out with a bubble blower that she quickly put together with copper wire. She didn't have any problem getting lots of bubbles going - I was furiously focusing and following them!

This world's a bubble.

Trying to get a nice shot of a moving bobble, the bystander lady turns her head and initially thinks I'm shooting her butt. I had to show her on the camera that I wasn't.

These bubbles look like they have balloon strings.

From left to right: Unnumbered class 121 formerly in the Swallows Cross fleet, a pair of class 122s with WMPTE logos which once ran on my exhibition layout 'Bromley Hill', an unfinished class 129 Cravens parcels car - a Craftsman conversion kit - and an unfinished Derby Lightweight single car - an MTK kit. The two unfinished ones are planned to be finished as departmental units 'Hydra' and 'Iris' respectively.
