My brother-in-law and I talked about this back earlier in the year. This is one of two boxed Power Of The Force Imperial At-At Walkers, and he's letting me keep this one! (I'll worry about where I'll store it when I get home.)
I am one ultra-super-uber-incredibly happy young lady. (Hey, I hail from George Lucas' hometown - I'm practically required "by law" to like Star Wars - I was old enough to remember seeing the original edit release of "Episode IV/A New Hope" in theatres before it was given that title. ^_^;)
Oh, joy... joy... joy! ^_^
My Uncle John also likes classic TV - here's a cast photo from "Hogan's Heroes", and an important photo with Gort and Klaatu from "The Day The Earth Stood Still"

Scan one of two of my linoleum block print I did recently for an art project. I scanned two for each scan to show the different colors I used and part of the assingment was to make three prints using different colors, whether they be added in with paint, pastels, and/or colored pencil. We had to do a few plain -- or one-colored ones -- as well and I decided to scan the one where the print using the color black came out best. The whole thing started out as an uncarved linoleum block and as a class, we were free to get inspiration from basically whatever we wanted and then ended up drawing the result of that on a piece of a paper and transferring it to our block. Then we had to carve out the areas that wouldn't be filled in with paint. After we finished carving, we made our prints.
The inspiration for my piece comes from three songs: January 1979 by mewithoutYou, We Will Overcome by Thursday, and Cold and Calculated by Project 86. For January 1979, how that inspired the painting was because of the lyric: "I was floating in a peaceful sea, 'rescued' by a sinking ship," which is depicted by the sinking ship near the bottom right corner. The otherI decided to depict from that song would be: "And from such a height you missed creatures too small for sight carry on covert conversation, as the misguided insects crown me their grasshopper king with a dance of celebration, "which I guess is a reference to Numbers 13:33, which is a verse about the Nephilim and the Anakites and it reads: "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." The lyric is depicted by what's at the top right area, which is a guy getting crowned by two insects. For We Will Overcome, the lyrics I decided to represent are: "Follow the path of the straight and narrow and "Our roads are paved with broken arrows." I'd say those lyrics stand out to me the song because they encourage me the most about never losing sight of the goals and that's why I chose to depict 'em. The path of the straight and narrow is depicted in the upper left corner. The road paved with broken arrows is depicted in the lower left corner, under the path of the straight and narrow. Lastly, for Cold and Calculated, I chose to depict the lyrics: "You found the wages you’ve sown in greed," "After all was said and done you lost your pet," and "Your prize..." The decpiction for those lyrics is under the guy getting crowned grasshoper king. "Prize" or "pet" meaning money. It is of a vacuum sucking up money as a hand tries to grab it, which is a comment on greed, which is basicaly what the song's about and I guess, in a way, the Bible talks about greed. The verse 1 Timothy 6:10 comes to mind, which reads: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." I think that's it.

Window into a bar from the street. Right down from Bergdorf's and the Plaza. And Mac store and FAO Schwartz.
I walked home from an art opening on the West Side in the upper 30s to my work locale in the upper 50s on the East side after attending the 2nd worst dinner party in my life.
Sometimes you just gotta walk it off.
:)
No, someone else just drove my car 90-odd miles to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, and posed that stuff on it for photos, and hired some fat loser to pose for a couple photos, right? ^_^;
I will come back in December. I should see about drawing up a contract if I decide to go for renting a table space for anything worth selling from my horde stashed in the back rooms of my house. ^_^;
See You Next Show, kids!

My PRIDE “The wall of Shame” @ Het Roolvink Steegje (Roolvink alley), aka our garden wall with trophies of countries we visited ;-)
@ the wall you can find anything.... that you can put on a wall: Horseshoe, road sign, licence plate, landmark, birdhouse, warning sign, good luck charm, insect hotel, surfboard, etc.... Allways lookin’ for new stuff
The masonry crew gets down to business placing the 30 lb cement blocks in position for the professional masons to erect the walls. Pictured in the center are Construction Management students: Stephen Crain (Florida), Lorenzo Fevola (Florida) and Mike Matern (Pennsylvania).
