Jim Beam - J.B. Turner Train was made in 1986 and formed part of Koons's second one-man exhibition, Luxury and Degradation, held at the International with Monument Gallery in New York. As the show's title implies, Koons's train is at once a celebration and a caveat, pointing to the exploitation that lay behind the successes of the speculators of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries alike, be it through land sales, booze or advertising, while commemorating the heroic spirit of these frontiersmen and trailblazers. Like Andy Warhol, Koons has taken an iconic element from the cultural landscape of the United States and used it as a vehicle for a sophisticated investigation of art and society. As he explained, "I wanted to suggest how the idea of luxury, through abstraction, is used to induce a psychological state of degradation, the public is constantly undergoing a re-education, being set up for the big kill"
This painting kind of grew organically over time. I started it because I got a copy of Sketchbook Pro to mess around with (I absolutely love the program, BTW). Then as things moved along, I took this back into Photoshop for some finishes, then, liking what I'd done so far, I decided to add a few retro psychedelic flourishes I created in Adobe Illustrator.

Jim is a masterful piano tuner and technician in Chicago.

Alexander Dennis Enviro 300, BX05FPV, was one of a pair that were new to British Telecom, to provide transport for visitors to the Goonhilly Earth Station near Helston, Cornwall.
The pair were sold on after five years and passed through BOC Auctions at Belle Vue, Manchester.
Jim Stones had a requirement for a high capacity single deck for schools contracts, following the withdrawal of their former MOD Leyland Tigers, and one was purchased at auction.
It gained the registration B10JYM, ironically from the Tiger it replaced, but had been re-registered back to its original mark when photographed here in readiness for sale.
It passed to Howards Travel where it was used on work gained from the collapse of GHA Coaches and was re-registered again, this time to F15HOW.
It passed to Gwynfor Coaches in 2018 and has since moved on again to Lew Jones.
My reward for chancing a trip on a very changeable Saturday afternoon. After sitting out a thunderstorm in the car for nearly an hour, the skies started brightening less than 10 minutes before this was due

More masts have appeared here since the last time I visited, including the two just out of frame to the left which will support a full portal next to the bridge
Jim Gordon closed the door to his office and hung his coat on the wall. The sun was just setting on Gotham City, but the Commissioner's work was only just beginning.
Stacks of paper littered his desk as he dragged his feet in exhaustion. It had been hours since his last cup of coffee, yet there were about four or five empty mugs on his desk. Grumbling to himself about the mess, he sat down in the dark room. The light entering from the West window was enough to mask the room in a yellow hue. He pushed some of the mess aside, only to start another one with a new stack of files.
A cold breeze waltzed across his cheek as he sat down. He wondered to himself if the repairman fixed the draft yet. The breeze met him once more, this time shuffling the blinds in the window. Gordon payed it no mind as he rummaged through files. Leaning back in his chair, he removed the glasses from his face, and cleaning them poorly with his button down shirt. Holding the frames up to the evening light, he checked for smudges. He sighed before returning them to his nose. Rummaging through more paper, Jim decided to clean his mess enough to keep sane. Reaching down, Gordon found a drawer to his desk open, and a folder was missing!
"It's been a long time, Jim" A deep voice spoke from the shadows. Jim couldn't pinpoint where the voice was coming from, but he knew who his visitor was.
Startled for only a moment, The Commissioner sighed again, then stood, pressing his knuckles down upon the wood of his desk. "You've got a lot of nerve coming back here." Jim said without raising his head.
"I came to return these...." A muscular arm clad in all black, held out a folder from the shadows. The folder was marked [BATGIRL] in bold red ink, stamped over the GCPD Crest. Jim didn't move.
The shadowed figure stepped into the light, and rested the documents on his desk. "I didn't know this would happen..." He spoke
"You... You didn't know?" Jim stuttered, struggling for the right words. "You're Batman for crying out loud, how did you not see this coming?" His eyes raised to see The Dark Knight. Only a few feet away from him and Gordon still struggled to see the full extent of his body.
"Barbara will be okay. ...She needs you to be there for her" Batman said without breaking eye contact. The two stone walls kept eyes locked on one another, before finally Gordon dropped his head in disappointment.
Batman's head turned to the west window, the yellow light still fading. "I think I found him, Jim” Gordon didn't respond. "She's a strong Woman. She's a fighter like you. She's made it through worse"
Gordon bashed the desk with his fist, "Don't you talk to me about her strength! Her endurance!” He stared Batman down once more, “Damnit Bruce! My Barbara won't ever walk again because of that... monster!"
"That only means we need to carry her."
"Don't take pity on me! You knew exactly what she was doing the moment she signed on with you!" Gordon came around from behind his desk standing face to face with The Batman.
"But you know what?” Jim pointed firmly in Batman's direction, “Keeping me in the dark about this was immoral! Sending a kid out at night, doing what you do, it's profanity!" Jim's whole body was tense now.
"I found him.” Batman spoke as calmly as before, “I found the Joker. Tonight, it ends."
"You'll do no such thing! You've done enough already!" Jim's voice raised, pulling his sidearm from his breast holster.
Batman backed into the shadow once more, "Don't try to stop me Jim." His voice coming from all around the room. Gordon could no longer see him.
"Batman!" Gordon shouted into the darkness "I'll never forgive you for this!"
"You shouldn't."
Batman's voice trailed off as the blinds on the window shuddered once more. Gordon aimed his gun quickly to the window, but it was to late. He was gone.

These one-shot stories have been regularly accompanied by some kind of song, so here's something I felt set the tone quite well youtu.be/8-wIg90lagk
Thank you Hans Zimmer :)
So right off the bat (heh... puns) I'd like to say that this was pretty heavily inspired by some of Tim Lydy's older vignettes. Yes, I know I mentioned it before, but I needed to remind you. Like, I have flat out stole that window build from him *cough* flic.kr/p/gd6Bew *cough*
But yeah, I was really channeling some inner BTAS, so naturally who else to take inspiration from, than the guy who's practically built every episode in Lego at one point :P
There is a few other images of this build over on my Patreon, some even including Batgirl, plus Joker and Harley too!
