Have you noticed that little annoying 888 on the left side of your Home screen? Why August 8, 2008? Why did they not do this on June 6, 2006?
AARRRGGGHHH! It be better than talk like a pirate day. It surely be.
Today a new Assassin's Creed came out and here's Duchess dressed up as Evie Frye, one of the protagonists in Syndicate.
The whole outfit and accessories were sewed and handmade by my sister. I think she did a wonderful job :-)
Happy Gaming to everyone who's getting this!

il a du s'égarer, bâtir trop de prisons, trop d'opression...
In a world where opression is commonplace, lots of heads will bow and fewer stand up.
Tyson, beast known for his nickname Dynamo, was a young boy from Mauritian-African origins. Long ago his ancestors had been brought to this place to forcefully work solely for the gain of others.
His history had troubled him ever since he could remember the stories and as such Tyson vowed he'd never take orders from anyone ever again! The young boy left his home-island, leaving his family and friends behind. After a time he met a mysterious being and challenged it.
After being defeated hopelessly, the being offered to awaken the true powers hidden deep inside Tyson and as such he was reborn.
A rash, violent jock with little respect for any authority safe his masters. Dynamo Tyson uses his teleportation and his knive and massive club to wreak havoc on his opponents. his anger and lack of discipline often get him into problems but luckily for him, his lover is rather handy with a sniper...
New day new character, what can I say? Dynamo Tyson was conceived as merely a fun tablescrap but he quickly grew on me as something more. I focussed this build on going predominantly g1 and I think it paid off really well.
Thanks for looking, Cheers!
The other day I found the Klapperfeld open for visits, so I went in. a lot of the cells have been left in the state they were when the Klapperfeld was retired as a prison, and there is a quite extensive exhibition - mostly text - on its past. The building reminds of Tolkien's description of Mordor. Its surrounding ever seem to be a good ten degrees colder than the rest of the city, yet even in the worst summer heat it does not feel any good. Its insides exude opression, volence and despair. The German word "Mahnmal" feels specially appropriate. Oh, and I have no idea what the text here says.
As for the film... it's a roll of that new AgfaFoto 400 Color that's been launched a few months back. Bought it out of curiosity... had I bothered to read the package properly I'd have seen it has only 24 frames a roll, an then I might have passed. At first sight, it seems quite similar to the Wolfen NC500 I tried a few weeks earlier. It's an interesting palette, and actually worked very well for the Klapperfeld frames, making me wonder whether it's actually designed for artificial lighting. After all, hipsters love flash... but for me it's a pretty niche palette. Maybe something to have a roll of just in case the right subject happens.

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Left over signs on the damsquare from yesterdays black lives matter protest. While I think it´s terrible that poor man was killed and I can symphatise with peoples wish to protest, gatherings this large without any possiblity to keep a distance are probably a bad idea in the middle of a pandemic. Of course people have a right to protest and they should be able to continue to do so, but at a distance.
I hope not, but thanks to this there could be a lot more people who can´t breathe not because police violence and opression but because of covid19. Wich is also potentially breathtaking.
Painting on the Berlin Wall in former East Berlin.
East Side Gallery,Berlin.
Mikhail Serebrjakow’s mural, entitled ‘Diagonal Solution to A Problem,’ depicts a thumb being held up by a chain to hold it in a positive, thumbs-up position. The mural shows the forceful nature of the East German government to preserve Communist ideals in the country.
DECADENCE
Ovvero i Segni del Tempo, quelli che cerchiamo di occultare, di dimenticare, di ignorare.
Eppure dietro le facciate fresche di calce, oltre i cancelli arrugginiti, al di là del filo spinato, è lì che l’obiettivo va a cercare ciò che un tempo è stato funzionante, vivo, pulsante.
Ora tutto è fermo, silenzioso, ma se guardi da vicino puoi sentire ancora l’eco dell’effimero momento di gloria passata.
La ruggine, il degrado e la polvere diventano ornamenti, la poca luce che filtra da vetri rotti e crepe sui muri illumina tesori nascosti.
Contrasti abbacinanti, colori che urlano, geometrie e alchimie che disorientano chi per la prima volta scopre questi mondi sospesi, ma noi no: ne percorriamo i sentieri, ne inseguiamo la luce, strisciando lungo un muro scrostato, scavalcando una finestra socchiusa, graffiandoci le mani sulle recinzioni invalicabili, affrontando i fantasmi e le paure più subdole, per provare a raccontarvi lo scorrere del Tempo.
La mostra DECADENCE è ora visibile anche sul Nostro Sito www.collettivo22.org

I love summer, but DAMN... Met up with Jimboe and Rask (Ireland) and were met with a ridiculous 100 degrees at 9am in the shade. Heat index quickly rose to 108, and as always I was super-prepared with no water. I hate winter more than you can possibly imagine, but I actually found myself saying I would prefer to paint in the winter, and couldn't believe what I was saying.
Good thing we did chromes... just blast it, get it done, and go sit in 3 hours of friday rush hour traffic to get home. (Seeing Rask for the first time since the 2003 bridge jam made it worth it though)
Shouts on this one go out to Yesb, Tiws, and Sek 2... and Jimboe for the hospitality

Pratiques de résistance des femmes migrantes philippines en Allemagne.
Livre de la thèse de doctorat de Davi de Carvalho Malheiros réalisée à l'Université de Strasbourg, France. Editeur L'Harmattan - Logiques Sociales, 2025. 5-7, rue de L'École polytechnique, 75005 Paris - France.
Le présent ouvrage retrace les parcours de femmes migrantes que vivent des expériences distinctes et variées, qui partagent un champ de possibles, des capacités de résistance à l'opression subie à l'intersection de différents rapports sociaux et une même disposition à interagir au sein de différents espaces nationaux avec les non-migrants restés au pays, tout en agissant sur leurs vies malgré la distance. (Certeau, 1990; Payet, 2014; Pfefferkorn, 2027; Boccagni, 2012).

Resistance Practices of Filipino Migrant Women in Germany.
This book is based on Davi de Carvalho Malheiros's doctoral thesis, completed at the University of Strasbourg, France. Published by L'Harmattan - Logiques Sociales, 2025. 5-7 rue de L'École polytechnique, 75005 Paris, France.
This book traces the journeys of migrant women with distinct and varied experiences, who share a range of possibilities, capacities to resist oppression at the intersection of different social relationships, and a shared willingness to interact within different national spaces with non-migrants who remained in their country, while influencing their lives despite the distance. (Certeau, 1990; Payet, 2014; Pfefferkorn, 2027; Boccagni, 2012).
Classic struggle ...
Proud to say I do not own a pair of these, but I am sure there are things that I own that were created using these methods.
What can we do? We can choose. And when we are presented with things that we do not agree with we can choose not to support them. It is really all we can do, Getting upset about things does nothing but create the upset.
We cannot see Lady Liberty’s feet clearly, but she is in fact standing among a broken shackle and chains, with her right foot raised, depicting her moving forward away from oppression and slavery.

"Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you love what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store"
this is another picture, over one year old. I had to do it in HDR, to highlight the whole scope of it.
I have taken this shot in the national museum of my city in Kurdistan of Iraq, Sleimani."red security museum". The area and the building used to be a compound of the security apparatus of the ex-dictator "Saddam"s men. They used their power,especially in the 1980s, to scare and impose their brutality on the Kurds and many others.
These tanks are parts of the remains of the ex-dictator's army left overs! A dictator who spent billions and billions of dollars on tanks and military machines in successive wars. There lies as a black part of histor. A lesson in history for all who follow opression uselessly. It is sad to see that such a mentality is still out there, making news, from here and there, under various ideologies and covers. Peace...
I knew a man who lived in fear
It was huge, it was angry
It was drawing near
Behind his house a secret place
Was the shadow of the demon
He could never face
He built a wall of steel and flame
And men with guns to keep it tame
Then standing back he made it plain
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came 'round
I heard it slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
And then one day the neighbours came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
They stood around outside the wall
But of course, there was nothing to be heard at all
"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal
The threat is under firm control
As long as peace and order reign
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came 'round
I heard it slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

Dan Heymann wrote this song about the atrocities of South Africa during Apartheid and I happen to play it this morning while having breakfast. Suddenly I was reminded of a conversation I had with some new friends last night about how hard it is to recognize Truth of a matter when your perspective is still dusted with unresolved pain of the past. It is still a sensitive wound, hidden ready to flare up but kept in secret. When the world seeks to shake up the minds of men, all of these walled "demons" we were never able to face become the very chains that can allow opression to continue. It is only when we break free of our own personal attachment to our wounds, go through a process of reclaiming our whole selves that a new and liberated world without violence and fear becomes even thinkable and then achievable. I call this artpiece "The Gateway" which while I was playing around with it was about the fall of the ego, the mask of self-protection.
I love Vusi's music because of how much love and vulnerability he sings with, I feel his heart reach into mine when I listen to him.
Stay brave my friends. These are hard and challengin times. Keep the dreams in your hearts alive and keep compassion alive. Sending love to you all!!!
free yourself from those white hands...
(favor analisar a letra de Blackbird, dos Beatles, para entender melhor - tem a ver com a opressão aos negros)

The years was 1997 and I was attending the 7th grade at a Catholic Grade School. We would get these "magazines" which allowed us to order books and had some articles inside. One of these articles was a promotion about a movie called Star Wars.I thought Chewie's Crossbow was the most badass thing I had ever seen, and I wanted to find out a way to buy a X-34 Landspeeder.
When I saw the movie I became fascinated with the scene where Luke plays with a toy spacecraft while cleaning the most annoying driods in the history of the Universe. This ship quickly inspired me to take up drawing and I spent the better part of two years drawing nothing but spaceships.
It's odd that movie had a scene with a boy playing with a toy which later became a toy played with by a boy.
To this day, 41 years later, I can't say "Almost There" without the rest of the line pops into my head complete with the dialect of the line delivery.
And yes I know Red Wing Leader Garven Dreis flew an T-65B X-wing starfighter and not a BTL Y-wing starfighter
Church signs often have amusing things on them, but this one got me and my wife downright angry. Jesus made it his mission to serve and help the poor, yet this church takes a stance to attack the poor and blame them for their own plight.....If laziness is poverty's cousins, then social injustice and opression are poverty's parents........

Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice first set foot on the moon of Endor where they were eagerly greeted by Lille Green Men who quickly enslaved the pair. It was only after rotting in the Pit of Despair for several years that Obi-Won had an epiphany. He came to the conclusion that one never crosses Universes because not only did he lose the power of the Force but he had to share a cell with Buzz Lightyear.
Everyday I cannot help but walk into the streets and spend some time there. Sometimes with my friends, mostly alone.
To fight for true democracy against China's proposal of candidate screening in the universal suffrage in 2017, people in Hong Kong has occupied Admiralty (Outside the government headquarter) to start a new wave of civil disobedience. After the opression of police with pepper spray and tear gas, the movement is now known as Umbrella movement.
