So i posted this sketch a while back, it became the inspiration for my 'Inventors Room' piece so I thought i'd go back and colour him in too. I'm going to try and develop a nice story around this guy.

A man in his character that I call "the Inventor" for the marvelous accessories and costume he created. He spent a bit of time telling me how he made the accessory items like fantasy antique revolver, a treasure box, flashlight, shotgun shell belt, etc. If anyone knows him, please let him know about this image so I may tag or provide a credit with this photo.

A fine old former stone home (1870) Almonte, Ontario, Canada.
It was built in 1870, by John Naismith (1833/4-1870 from Scotland), who was the father of Dr. James Naismith (their eldest child), the inventor of basketball.
It was owned by a series of private owners before being acquired by the Loyal Orange Lodge in 1915; and it is currently used as apartments.
Mystery for me: research also finds that:
John Naismith and his wife Margaret young, moved to Quyon, Quebec, where they lived until typhoid fever claimed them both in the fall of 1870, both being but 37 years of age.
So I'm not sure if I am referring to the same "John Naismith", who as per the above, would have built this stone home in 1870, yet previously had moved across the Ottawa River to Quyon, Quebec, only to sadly perish with his wife Margaret from typhoid fever, also in 1870.
Oh the joys and challenges of researching historical facts; so very fascinating!

#5 Sir Humphry Davy ~ The miners safety lamp
Dr. James Naismith invented the game of basketball while on staff at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts. A few years later, he moved to Lawrence and the University of Kansas to oversee the development of a department of physical education and to serve as a campus chaplain. He was not hired to coach basketball at KU; in fact, Naismith often said that you don't coach basketball, you just play it.
In spite of his stated opinion, he became the coach for KU's beginning basketball coach. Ironically he would be the only coach to have a losing record at the university. He did teach the game to Forest C. (Phog) Allen, who went on to be one of the most successful coaches in the history of the game.
Naismith lived in Lawrence until his death in the 1950s. This monument to Naismith and the Kansas University tradition of basketball coaching excellence is in the Memorial Park Cemetery.

This side altar of St Roch has a momument to an inventor of sign language, L'Abbe de Lepee
The genius of Fred Karno, inventor of the custard pie gag and mentor of Chaplin Jr. and Stan Laurel, presides over Hampton. The psychic topography of the place pits Karno's anarchic magic (he built himself a houseboat on Tagg's Island - where this shot was taken - capable of housing a full orchestra and physical-comedy-sized stage) against the respectability of Garrick (whose villa is the other side of the church). Tagg's Island was the site of his "Karsino" fun palace, built by Frank Matcham.
Timeshifting to the 80s, a figure of the "rock" establishment called Dave Gilmour made a grab for Karno's houseboat, the Astoria, and tugged it upriver where it would be held in check by the more orderly energies of Garrick's villa (Gilmour had form: he'd held his band in check when Syd's anarchic energies had threatened it).
While it is widely thought that The Division Bell (recorded on the Astoria) was merely a waste of everyone's time, in actual fact is represents a ritual exorcism of the last vestiges of creative energy from this reach of the river.
It was too hot to walk up to Hampton.
