This drawing is accurate and you have produced a rendered drawing with fine detail. We can see how the pattern would look to scale on such a pair of curtains; the colours you have rendered and the level of detail is just lovely.
You have rendered the curtain colour accurately and included appropriate shading. Is there an embossed pattern or symbol on the fabric? I can see it vaguely but is it on the underside of the fabric as you didn’t want to show it? If you wanted to show it, the sample motif should be centred on the mount board and rendered in the sketch.
The board you have presented gives the client a very clear idea of what you are proposing.

Here is a mashup of my process. I used old fabric I had, bright pink yarn that was a giveaway, and some old yellow trim!

On the heels of our teddy bear success, I used some of the supplies we bought to make Nina a little doll. I saw this pattern and couldn't resist, and it came out spectacularly. It might have been a little ambitious for Nina (so we picked the bear), but I did it in one day and she looks amazing.
I started out in flannel, like the bear, but the pieces are so small it got kinda unwieldy. Once I switched to felt it was a breeze. I used this great scotch tape trick to get the little pieces cut out just right. Then the whole thing is just worked in tiny little blanket stitches, which is exactly the kind of thing I find outrageously relaxing.
I seem to have included more neck than the final example uses, but there wasn't any problem with it. I put her head on upside down, which made the hair piece fit wrong, but I was able to fix that so you couldn't tell. Nina also had the idea to change the hair, and make it longer, with slits cut in it so she could play with it. It worked perfectly! (I forgot to sew a final stitch securing the back of the head onto the hair. This means that when she's upside down, her hair flips forward like she's wearing a bald cap. Haha. However, my client forbade me to fix this.)
I can't tell you how great it felt to show her my progress as I worked on getting the facial embroidery just right, ask "How's this looking?" after each step, and have Nina make the human version of the :D face. THIS CHILD WAS DELIGHTED. I did that!
Also wow how cute those red-crayon cheeks look. SO CUTE.
The doll was dubbed Ella, which I believe was after my baby cousin, because I told Nina that I had cousins with names very close to the Frozen princesses. Hee. Thankfully, Ella joined a doll family with siblings that have clothes to fit her, so she is dressed less impecuniously than I left her.

"I'll kill him dammit... and there aint nobody on this godforsaken island to stop me..."
The first teaser for my new series, currently named Project Sanders. The name is definitely not permanant and has no connection to the series itself that you'd understand. Also, no connection to Ultron. :) The picture features the series' main antagonist, General Oswalt Stratton. 95% of the characters in this series I have created, I know that won't make much sense now but it will once the series starts. I have already started to write a little of the story and trust me, you are going hate this guy. I'm already loving writing him though! Alright that's about it, please comment if you favorite.

The Lowbrow Tarot Project
Lowbrow Tarot Collectors Book & Deck:
auniakahn.bigcartel.com/product/lowbrow-tarot-book-deck
The Lowbrow Tarot Project showcased 23 amazing artists who used their creative genius and unique style to take on the 22 Major Arcana [+ the card back] and create 23 new works of art in the rugged glow of the lowbrow art movement that was displayed in an exhibition at La Luz de Jesus on October 1, 2010. With the completion of this project, we celebrate the 2 year anniversary with the release of the Lowbrow Tarot Book & Deck.
The books and deck features 23 new and original works, while the book has been expand to showcase 314 color & black/white works by renowned and accomplished artists: Carrie Ann Baade, Christopher Ulrich, Edith Lebeau, Cate Rangel, Kris Kuksi, Chris Mars, Christopher Umana, Chris Conn, Brian M. Viveros, Claudia Drake, Heather Watts, Molly Crabapple, David Stoupakis, Laurie Lipton, Patrick “Star 27” Deignan, Chet Zar, Jessica Joslin, Danni Shinya Luo, Jennybird Alcantara, Angie Mason, Scott G. Brooks, Aunia Kahn and Daniel Martin Diaz.
OK, so it's not very scorched, and a photograph of some tarmac is not a particularly interesting shot of the day.
That aside, this small patch of burnt 'stuff' represents my sleepless night. At about five o'clock I heard some bangs, which I thought were fireworks (I didn't know the time).
Then unfortunately I got the constant blowing of a car horn. I looked out the window to see if it was one of ours, and being unable to determine that I threw some clothes on and checked the street.
It turned out that our cars were fine, but there was a fire engine extinguishing a burning car at the end of the street. I went out later in the morning to shoot it, only to find that someone had incredibly efficiently got rid of it. Most impressive.
So the scorched earth is all that remains. And the next rain will wash it off.
Yesterday I ordered a doll I've been waiting a long time to get from the Debenhams website...and she arrived today!
Next day click and collect is a blessing.
Project Mc2 Bryden's Bracelet doll and review coming soon...
When the stars don't shine, and when the birds don't fly
And when the flowers cry, and when the rain runs dry
When the violet's red and when the rose turn blue
I'll still be in love with u.....
- This is my first shot for the LOVE project. Received these hearts and a lovely postcard with a beautiful message from my Japan friend, Keiko some time ago and had a couple of shots last night. Nothing beats the satisfaction of producing these lovely shots, as my wife was there helping me all the way. Hence...called Love project.

We all have our side projects. Build a ship in a bottle, repave the garden walk, organize our stamp collection from countries that no longer exist. I also have a few side projects. One is my Stock Certificate Project (that I really should devote some more time to). Another is my ROYGBIV project.
It is not uncommon that friends ask me for photos or themselves for this or that. When they do, I try to squeeze the ROYGBIV project in. Basically, I try to position my subjects outside, in front of some primarily colored background as well as one white background then assemble the results into whatever you call a piece of art that involves four separate scenes... whatever is past a tryptic I guess.
Anyway, one of my oldest friends Kevin Bankston was in town for the holidays and he asked that I shoot a few shots of him. It should be said that Kevin is probably my most accomplished and admirable friend. He has worked for the ACLU, EFF and is making a big move to Washigton to further lobby for and protect out online freedoms. If you watch, you will certainly see him on the television or quoted in all the big magazines. This guys is one to watch.
The condition was that we drive around until I could find some suitable locations for the ROYGBIV project. For those who slept through that day in science class ROYGBIV is just an acronym for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These are roughly the shades we see in the visible light spectrum. In my opinion, solid and strong colors make for nice backgrounds if you can get the right subject to background distance so the background becomes a blur of radiant color.
All technical mumbo-jumbo aside, I like the way they look and you can see a prior one taken of my good friend Chris Brooks here. Also included in this batch are some of the un-cropped originals that I did a little more tweaking on.
If you're going to shoot portraits of your buddies for free (and why wouldn't you?) you might as well make them work a little bit for it and direct their efforts towards your broader schemes. So, thanks Kevin. You are now installment 2 in the slow-moving ROYGBIV Project.
Everything was shot natural light with a Canon 5D MKII and a Canon 135mmm f/2 L USM and edited in Aperture and Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

"Be loud and proud as an Engineer" - Roger Collins-Woolcock, 2011
This is a quote from one of the guest speakers at an engineering leadership reception I attended tonight and it really spoke volumes to me. For the past 5 years I have been making the transition to becoming a loud and proud gay man (from being just a shy and ashamed gay boy), and so the relevance of this message was not lost on me.
We engineers often downplay our achievements, and the public responds in kind. Many people don't realise that engineers are everywhere in society, and they have a role in influencing every part of society. Let's say you're reading this on a bus, so look around you and tell me how many things are influenced by engineers? If you just said "well there's the bus, and the roads it drives on" then you wouldn't be alone.
But in reality, asides from the obvious mechanical engineering influencing the bus functioning as a vehicle and the civil engineering influencing the road design, engineering also played a part in the design of the seats, the lighting, the doors, the payment system, the speaker system, the minimal frame allowing you to see so much out the windows, the hearing aid allowing an old lady at the front to hear the annoying kids at the back, the stroller holding the crying baby, the 50 smart phones that people are playing with and the 50 sets of earphones attached.
Outside, yes there is the road, but there is also the stormwater drainage, electrical, telephone, gas, optical fibre, sewerage running under the road, there is street lighting, signage, traffic lights, those things in the middle of the road that make a noise when you run over them, buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc.
As well as developing western infrastructure and conveniences, Engineers are also involved in humanitarian causes, which was a major focus of tonights event.
Alan Noble is an engineer, and also the Director of Engineering for Google Australia and New Zealand. He told us about the google maps initiatives that have recently played an influential part in the post disaster recovery efforts in many parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA, etc. He also didn't mind mentioning the millions of dollars that Google provides to not-for-profit charities and other ventures.
Lizzie Brown is an engineer, and also the CEO of Engineers Without Borders (EWB). She talked about the programs that EWB runs throughout the world, building the capacity of small villages by sharing technology and expertise to improve their livelihood. She also talked about finding your place in the massive profession of engineering, such that you can have the most influence and create the most beneficial change to the world around you.
Finally, Roger Collins-Woolcock is an engineer, and also the Director of Cardno NSW/ACT and New Zealand. Cardno is a global engineering consultancy and services provider that is involved in physical and social infrastructure. It is the biggest environmental consultancy in the USA and provides related services throughout the world.

Un dels projectes europeus que es desenvolupen al Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) és el projecte Montblanc.
Un ordinador és com una calculadora molt sofisticada i sovint s'utilitzen per fer càlculs que ens serveixen, entre d'altres, predir el temps meteorològic, determinar la qualitat de l'aire, simulacions de biologia molecular o simulacions de mecànica de fluids.
Malauradament aquests càlculs sovint són molt costosos. Fins i tot per a un ordinador. Això significa que suposen molt de temps dur-los a terme. A vegades, el temps no és un recurs negociable: imagineu què passaria si calcular la predicció del temps d'aquí a tres dies tardés una setmana a fer-se!
Per això existeix un segment de la informàtica anomenat «computació d'altes prestacions» (de l'anglès "High Performance Computing", sovint abreviat HPC).
En HPC el que es fa és construir i dissenyar superordinadors, que cada cop siguin més potents i per tant més ràpids. Però massa sovint un superordinador potent significa un superordinador que consumeix molta energia. A tall d'exemple, mireu la llista Top 500 que recull els superordinadors més potents del món. El primer consumeix al voltant de 7 MW (això són 7000 kW, compareu-ho amb casa vostra com a molt podeu consumir 4,4 kW), el segon en consumeix 12 MW. En canvi el número 7 només consumeix 0,8 MW.
I aquí és on vol incidir el projecte Montblanc. L'objectiu d'aquest projecte és construir un superordinador que sigui competitiu (o sigui, segurament no serà el més potent de tots) mentre manté un consum raonable.
L'estratègia per fer-ho, a Montblanc, consisteix en usar processadors similars als que es troben en els telèfons intel·ligents d'avui dia. Aquests processadors no poden gastar molt, ja que les bateries durarien poc, però cada cop ofereixen més rendiment.
A Montblanc, a més, s'utilitzen GPUs (Graphical Processing Units, processadors especialitzats en dibuixar gràfics 3D a la pantalla). Les GPUs són particularment eficients ja que poden donar molta potència de càlcul amb una despesa energètica relativament baixa.
El grup de «Heterogeneous Computing» del BSC estaven enregistrant un timelapse construint una versió reduida d'un supercomputador usant diversos Carma Devkit. Aquí a la foto n'han apilat quatre.
Aquest kit incorpora un processador NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 ARM Cortex A9 Quad-Core (com el que porta la tauleta tàctil ASUS Transformer Prime) i una GPU NVIDIA® Quadro™ 1000M.

Germany - Lubeck: Holstentor.
From outside the Alstadt - old city:
Lübeck’s landmark, the Holstentor. This city gate is made up of two red brick, cylindrical towers capped with peaked roofs that flank a gabled house with the characteristic up and down stairway-shaped façade. When it was completed in 1478, the Holstentor became Lübeck’s western gateway, a guardian of the city center on the far side of the Trave River. The gateway seems rather squat and lopsided, but is still impressive because of what it represents - Lübeck at the height of its power.

`in gold lettering the words over the entrance of the Gate read:
CONCORDIA DOMI FORIS PAX.
On the right of the picture can be seen The Salzspeicher (salt storehouses) of Lübeck, Germany, six historic brick buildings on the Upper Trave River. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzspeicher
The first time I saw the Holstentor was as a picture on the lid of a jigsaw puzzle when I was a child! I guess that I never dreampt that I would see it for real!

This started out as a tortured tee shirt I had laying around for quite some time. I cut it into thin strips and sewed the ends to a strip of extra jersey left over from the sleeves. Then I braided the strips and sewed up the other end with another sleeve. Then I put my hair up in a loose bun and tied the headband below the bun and tucked the ends under. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out but I think I will keep experimenting until I perfect it. Maybe next time I'll use a hot pink shirt!
