I cant seem to get enough book prints in the shop. :) I think I enjoy drawing them too much!
anyhow, this one is just listed!
Welcome to the village of Banstead in Surrey – and here’s a fine sign which illustrates the village’s long history. But who’d have thought that this attractive traditional design could have created controversy among the locals? Read on…
Clockwise from the top left: A woolpack, representing Banstead’s historic association with wool and sheep; All Saints parish church, which dates from the 12th century; a wheatsheaf, commemorating Banstead’s farming roots; the 18th century Old Well; and finally, the extensive lavender fields, which attract visitors from miles around.
And it’s this depiction of the lavender fields that has caused the raised eyebrows, because purists say that the fields aren’t in Banstead at all; they’re just outside the boundary and actually lie within the neighbouring London Borough of Sutton. And, it has to be said, the purists are right.
But then there’s the question of Banstead’s status as a village. It’s not a village at all, but actually a small (and very pleasant) town with a population of around 16,000. The ‘village’ refers to the half-mile long high street and adjoining roads... the scenes of my long-ago childhood escapades.
I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to "industrial art" and this, from 1939, is a corker of one. Prior to the widespread introduction of successful reproduction of color photographs many advertisers commissioned an artist to capture a scene such as this of the Ebbw Vale continuous strip mill at the works of Richard Thomas. Baldwin's had only taken over the Ebbw Vale Steel Iron and Coal Company in 1936 and they made a massive investment in the plant as seen here. They would merge with Baldwin's in 1948, another company with an English background who had moved into the South Wales metals industries, in this case specialising in tin plating.
The artist is also of interest. It is by the American Lawrence Sterne Stevens (1884 - 1960) who had been working in the UK and on the Continent since 1914 but who would return to the US at about the time this advert was issued. Back in the States he would become known as one of the greatest illustrators and cartoonists working in the field of science fiction. The advert appears as the back cover of the Illustrated London News for 29 April 1939.
Illustrating the range of electric traction and liveries which could be found on the Great Eastern Mainline in 2004, EWS-owned by GNER-liveried 90024 pauses before working the 1400 to Liverpool Street, which Anglia Railways-liveried 86227 Golden Jubilee will depart first with the 1340 to Liverpool Street. Despite these liveries and owners, services from Norwich had been operated by National Express since the start of the month, with only two locos and one set of stock in the new 'one' corporate colours by this date. 90024 was the only member of it's class to wear GNER livery, painted as the East Coast operator regularly hired in a loco to supplement their own Class 91 fleet. However, 90024 was rarely seen on the East Coast, and could more often be found deployed on other services around the network.

Today we were at Cirque du Soleil in Dusseldorf. It is unique!
Quite a bit of artistic license here to cover the ANSH scavenger11 item “illustrate a Shakesperean play title”….. first of all I don’t actually drink beer!!….
Today I tried playing with the iPhone portrait mode - it’s fun! Now if I can remember how to use the lighting options!

Another male Yosemite Bumble Bee. B. melanopygus is similar to B. bifarius illustrated in the last set of picture, but a bit more higher elevation and bit more arctic in its distributions. There is a softness to the face here that I find most appealing. Collected by Claire Kremen's group in the National Park. Photo by Anders Croft.

An advert page from the 28 May 1955 edition of "Illustrated" magazine, one of the many popular such magazines produced from the vast stable of the Odhams Press in London. Created in 1898 Odhams took advantage of the increasing market for illustrated magazines and by 1938 introduced the first such 'colour' title, Woman. In post-war years a new plant in Watford was constructed and this would in later years become part of the Fleetway/IPC Group that Odhams folded into in 1961. "Illustrated" incorporated other titles from 1939 including "News Review" and "The Passing Show" to better compete with Picture Post. In post-WW2 years, with the lifting of paper rationing, the market expanded again and Illustrated was one of the weeklies that sold over a million copies per issue. The cost of advertising in the magazine must have therefore have been consumate with circulation and prime pages took advantage of the colour gravure printing.
This is another in the highly successful series of Rowntree's adverts for their Fruit Pastilles and Gums that were issued in the 1950s. They relied on a minimum of text, the product packaging to show the subject of the advert and bold colours of the sort that colour gravure printing such as this could so successfully reproduce even on poor quality papers. This is the 'girl' version of the advert.
In honor of Sports Illustrated most likely ending, it's time the world saw the greatest Swimsuit Edition cover never used.

Winds bear down on the ocean to create surface currents, seen here swirling off the coast of Florida in this NASA-created image, a still capture from a 4-minute excerpt of "Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth's Climate Engine," a fulldome, high-resolution movie playing at planetariums around the world.
The excerpt explores the fundamental power of the sun and how its energy drives the climate on Earth, and is made up entirely of new visualizations -- created by NASA Goddard's Scientific Visualization Studio -- that illustrate NASA satellite and model data of a coronal mass ejection from the sun, Earth's magnetic fields, and winds and ocean currents circulating around our planet.
To see the full, narrated excerpt, go to: youtu.be/ujBi9Ba8hqs
These visualizations were recently accepted to be shown at the SIGGRAPH 2012 computer animation conference. To read more about this, go to:
www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/dynamic-earth.html
The excerpt was also the basis for the 100th story released through the Scientific Visualization Studio's iPad app, called NASA Visualization Explorer. To see the app story in web form and to download the app, go to:

at Tilden Park, CA. The scientific info tells us that they are "vigorous sprouters". We certainly see that illustrated here.
This graphically illustrates the problem with photographing the MML during the period of manual signalling (or during steam days on almost any railway line!) as the telegraph poles were a serious impediment.

Illustrated by AS Crew (Oakland, CA) star Fred "Sundanse" Gromadski for the August 1993 launch issue of pioneering magazine MorphsOutpostOnTheDigitalFrontier.com. If you like Morph, you'll love TheConcreteJungleBook.com illustrated by Gromadski's fellow AS Crew artist Srayla Tip.
I recently created these two pieces for the latest issue of Ideas Illustrated. The story revolves around themes of luck, philosophy and love. It's writen by Stephen Trombley.

In addition to a number of portraits and plaster plaques illustrating classical scenes there are several busts, including this one, which I think is of Sappho. It's all in excellent decorative order and unlike many houses of the period where the walls would have bold wall coverings that make it all look rather blingy, here the walls are a very tasteful neutral shade. Once Ronald Tree had bought the house in 1933 his wife Nancy Lancaster, already a well-known interior designer, threw herself into its restoration. Her efforts earned Nancy the reputation of having 'the finest taste of almost anyone in the world'. I'm not sure whether these colour schemes are hers.
Been a while since my last update, been crazy in my world lately. Here is the final image for my latest tutorial for vector.tutsplus.com/. Just a teaser for now, until the tut gets posted.
