Completely hand sewn Holy plush for Holy's prize pack. I'm no expert on sewing but I think this looks pretty cool. Got to add teeth and legs and it'll be done.

I am posting this photo on the White House (on the map) in the hope that this message might reach those with influence....
I would be very grateful if you would take a moment to read this:
Today, Saturday the 8th of March 2008, is United Nations’ International Women’s Day & in France is dedicated to Ingrid Betancourt who has been held hostage now for over six years - 2205 days to be exact (as on the 8th of March).
This series of photographs was taken on the 6th anniversary of her capture (Saturday 23rd February 2008) outside the Town Hall of Paris, France. It has been an especially difficult past few weeks for Ingrid’s family & friends (especially for her two children Mélanie & Lorenzo). Following the release of Clara Rojas & Consuelo Gonzalez de Perdomo in January, four other hostages (Gloria Polanco, Luis Eladio Perez Bonilla, Jorge Eduardo Gechem & Orlando Beltran) were liberated by the FARC on Wednesday the 27th February 2008. News of their release was wonderful and a sign of hope for the other hostages & their families - that a peace process would be possible, leading to further releases - but they brought with them bad news concerning Ingrid. She is being treated very badly by her captors and is extremely ill - suffering from a recurring hepatitis B infection which, if left untreated by doctors; will undoubtedly kill her. Consuelo Gonzalez has described the conditions of captivity; the lack of hygiene in the forest where the hostages are held, the non-existence of doctors and medication. In such conditions, Ingrid has only a limited number of weeks left.
President Uribe and the Colombian government have decided to turn their backs on a possible peace process by attacking the FARC and killing Raul Reyes and another senior member of the group. Reyes was negotiating with Ecuadorian, Venezuelan & French officials with the aim of releasing a further 19 hostages this month, including Ingrid Betancourt. These hopes have just been smashed to pieces at a moment when time is running out fast.
Uribe was aware of the negotiations and in spite of international calls for the two sides to talk and come to a peaceful settlement, he decided to answer the release of hostages with bullets and arms. The only voice President Uribe listens to at the moment is that of the government of United States of America. If there are U.S. citizens reading this, I ask you to please contact your Governors, Senators and Representatives. Please try and help make a difference. I know it sounds useless and impossible, but Ingrid hasn’t got much time left. If we all try and act to make a difference, it can be done. I would like to encourage everyone, no-matter where you are, to spread the word and try to get in touch with those who have enough influence to make that difference.
If you are a Senator, Representative, politician, an official or adviser, (not highly likely I know, but…), then I ask you to try for a moment and imagine this was happening to you or someone you know. Really, try to imagine for a moment that your political combat for freedom and justice resulted in you being held for years away from your family, that you were seriously ill with little time left – that your children grew to adulthood without you, fought everyday for your liberation so that the world would not forget you and that you may never see them again… imagine for one slight moment – then surely you realise that you must do all you can….
I would like to dedicate this day to Ingrid Betancourt & to all the courageous women such as Ingrid, the Nobel Peace Prize winners Shirin Ebadi & Aung San Suu Kyi, and the many other women who are fighting for Liberty & Justice against all odds. These women are our mothers… our sisters… our daughters… our wives… our girlfriends… our best friends.

I draped and sewed fabric around two bodies then manipulated the shape it hung in. I question the forever changing relationships people share. At the beginning of a relationship the fabric would have no creases or alterations but as history and time is taken, the fabric of life is influenced and repositioned in certain places to create a layered, some times hidden, flowing story. What if our clothing represented the life changes and alterations we as individuals have experienced?

Social Commentary
6:50pm/12-20-10
This week I spent four days in Limerick and as an experiment I limited myself to three Zeiss Batis lenses [25mm, 85mm and 135] as they are weatherproof. For most of the time I used the 25mm lens which proved to be the more useful of the three and I must admit that I really like it.
The weather forecast indicated that it would rain for much of the week but in reality is was sunny for most of my visit and on Thursday it became too hot for me between 3pm an 6pm.
For about five years I stayed at the George Boutique hotel but this year I could not afford the asking price for two nights and I got a much better offer from Pery's Hotel which was much closer to the railway station. To be honest I was a little bit concerned when I made the booking but the hotel turned out to be much more suitable for me than the George - the room was huge [it actually had three single beds] and the location was excellent especially as it was close to a large selection of restaurants.
The Hotel proved to be an excellent base and I managed to photograph much more of the city that I had on previous visits.
On Wednesday the 19th. June 2019 I walked from my hotel to Mount St. Lawrence Cemetery and it was much closer than had expected and then I got the 304 bus to the University of Limerick campus which I had not intended to visit until Thursday or Friday.
As of August 20th 2013, Mayor of Limerick Kathleen Leddin launched an online database which holds information on the 70,000 buried in the graveyard, dating from 1855 to 2008. This database will contain information such as the names, addresses, times of death, position of graves, ages and dates of deaths of those buried in Mount St. Lawrence. This will contribute greatly to the city and surrounding areas. The city can use the information on the records to give accurate figures on the mortality rate, for example. It will also help to discover what the problems were in the hospitals of Limerick back in those times and why the death rate was so high.
Cemeteries in Limerick began to fall under immense pressure due to cholera epidemics in the 1830’s and the Great Famine in the 1840’s. This led to the founding of Mount St. Lawrence cemetery. Originally it formed part of the larger medieval parish of St. Lawrence in Limerick. This parish also contained a leper hospital, granted by King John, which was later returned to Limerick Corporation. They then leased some of the land to the Limerick Diocese for use as burials grounds. Mount St. Lawrence was officially opened on March 29th 1849 in a ceremony presided over by Dr John Ryan, Bishop of Limerick at this time. The Neo-Gothic Church was designed as a mortuary chapel by architects M & S Hennessy, who also designed the tall spire of St. John's Cathedral, which is now a notable point in Limerick City. It was designed in Celtic and Gothic Revival styles with an Arts and Crafts influenced interior. Mount St Lawrence graveyard was the primary place of burial in Limerick City for all members and classes of society, from the wealthy and powerful to those poverty stricken.
Mount Saint Lawrence has always contained plots reserved for certain groups, for example, religious graves, diocesan graves and a Republican plot.
Welcome to LYRICS AND TYPE - an ongoing international type and illustration initiative founded by Timba Smits, the creator of the award winning arts culture publication Wooden Toy Quarterly.
Through an exploration into the connection between two of lifes most important communication mediums 'Music' and 'Type', the LYRICS AND TYPE verses aim to collaborate with some of the worlds leading type designers, graphic designers, illustrators and artists via exhibition and print and visually interpreting how type and music can influence and inspire the way we feel, think or create.
Each LYRICS AND TYPE verse brings together a different and varied group of 16 artists, carefully selected by Wooden Toy Quarterly to respond to a project brief featuring interpretations of both famous, past or present song lyrics using a combination of hand drawn or computer designed type, illustration and imagery that would wet the pallette of any music and art lover.

Sketchbook Ink + Sketchbook Pro. Sketchbook ink is a very promising app with the biggest export options(remembering that we're talking about size and not resolution - dpi), but need some bug fixes: usage of memory improvements(it takes a little to render the image, and takes much more to erase a segment of the image - sometimes more than 3 seconds...), the export pdf would be great and the lack of 1 or 2 more layers makes it dificult to work without worrying every minute about where you're putting a line or a color and where you gonna put the next - I know they idealized this app to be a companion to S.Pro and other more complete drawing apps , but the adition of these features and the bug fixes would make it a lot and lot better...but it's in the right way.
The performances at Clas/sick Hip Hop: 1993 Edition, Nov 7 & 8, 2014.
Clas/sick Hip Hop: 1993 Edition reimagines the catalog of one of hip hop's most commercially and artistically successful years: 1993. In that year, OutKast, A Tribe Called Quest, Snoop Dogg, Wu Tang Clan, and Tupac Shakur all released seminal music that recalibrated the sonic possibilities of the entire genre. 1993 was also the year that YBCA opened its doors with a mission to celebrate both the Bay Area's local prowess and the globe's contemporary aesthetic vision. Combining these impulses, Clas/sick Hip Hop challenges more than 20 local MCs to recreate the hip-hop catalog of 1993, backed on two different stages by two of the Bay Area's foremost young composers, JooWan Kim performing with his chamber orchestra Ensemble Mik Nawooj and Oakland's own Kev Choice, Lauryn Hill's former musical director, performing with the 10-piece Kev Choice Ensemble.
Ensemble Mik Nawooj (EMN) presents the world premiere of a six-piece YBCA commission in which EMN music director, composer/pianist JooWan Kim, re-imagines six classic hip-hop songs from 1993 with his group, including C.R.E.A.M., Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta Fuck Wit, and Shame On A Nigga from the Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) album by Wu-Tang Clan; as well as Gin and Juice, Gz and Hustlas, and Who Am I (What's My Name)? from the Doggystyle album by Snoop Dogg.
Kev Choice Ensemble pays homage and tribute to the incredible catalogue of hip-hop music that came out in the year of 1993. The focus will be on the classic songs, albums, influences and samples that were the foundation in the creation of these songs.

Panel Discussion “Influencing Change – Donor Climate Finance at Work”
A key event of the Donor Programme was a panel entitled Influencing Change – Donor Climate Finance at Work where we heard about the role donors and the private sector play in shaping the post-Paris environment in the EBRD region.
This focused on the scaling up of the EBRD’s green finance between now and 2020, which will support countries’ ambitions to move to a low-carbon, green growth path.
The Programme also offered an opportunity for donors and the EBRD to discuss the results of their partnership, progress over the past year as well as future challenges and reforms. The Donor Report 2015 was also launched. The day concluded with a donor Assembly of the SEMED Multi-donor Fund, which will include a session on the Bank’s refugee response.

Miami, at Florida's southeastern tip, is a vibrant city whose Cuban influence is reflected in the cafes and cigar shops that line Calle Ocho in Little Havana. Miami Beach, on barrier islands across the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay, is home to glamorous South Beach, famed for its colorful art deco buildings, white sand, surfside hotels and trendsetting nightclubs.
