SecDef' 13: Redrawing the security map - Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, SDA Co-president with Bogdan Klich, Deputy Chair Polish Senate and former Minister of National Defence Poland
Panaca is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in eastern Lincoln County, Nevada, United States, on State Route 319, about 1 mile (1.6 km) east of U.S. Route 93, near the border with Utah. Its elevation is 4,729 feet (1,441 m) above sea level. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 963.
Panaca was southern Nevada's first permanent settlement, founded as a Mormon colony in 1864. It was originally part of Washington County, Utah, but the congressional redrawing of boundaries in 1866 shifted Panaca into Nevada. It is the only municipality in Nevada to be "dry" (forbidding the sale of alcoholic beverages), and the only community in Nevada besides Boulder City that prohibits gambling.
Coke ovens here once produced charcoal for the smelters in nearby Bullionville (now a ghost town), but the town's economy is predominantly agricultural.
The name "Panaca" comes from the Southern Paiute word Pan-nuk-ker, which means "metal, money, wealth". William Hamblin, a Mormon missionary to the Paiutes, established the Panacker Ledge (Panaca Claim) silver mine there in 1864.

So it took me forever to redo this one, so I wasn't able to get around to redrawing the hands and feet so it looks like he is holding the sign. It will be there for Monday though. Also I am still working on moving around a few things for a little better placement. The giraffe's are just awkward. Also, I traced the type, but some of them scanned in to where you cannot read them so those will be redone as well.
I drew this picture a while ago, but I was dissatisfied with it. I finally got around to redrawing it and I like this much, much better. Still need a lot of practice with the watercolor pencils, though.

In a similar style to my recent Sprightly Jack image and as a break from photography and 3d modelling, I thought it would be nice to create a snowman design for Christmas.
This is another idea that started as a 30 second sketch, before redrawing it on the computer. Hopefully for Christmas I will get a faster way of colouring because this took AGES!!

The British Original Jigsaw Club(s) of Cornwall & London were the subject of an article by Nicki Barker in the Spring 2023 issue of the BCD Magazine (issue 148,pg 14-15). Subsequent information received from Anne Williams confirms identity of the Rowes (Ashley & Kathleen) as Mr & Mrs Aldon Roen, and a link to Aldon Studios.
The fantastic late cut (by AB) shown in the left column was discovered by USA expert Anne Williams. Its label has the same format as two others with earlier stock numbers, which date the club to 1909 and both name the Rowes as proprietors - one from Cornwall and the other in London. Interestingly, the Cornwall label has the printed address 'Scorrier' crossed out and amended in ink with Mount Hawke. Perhaps this is an earlier address!
The Cornish examples both have the advice to 'Re-Tie the Bag' printed on the label. The London Club map of Europe jigsaw, which has dated replacement pieces putting its cutting date pre-Sept 1922, has no such advice, but the other London example has a label talking about a bag - possibly implying the introduction of a bag where one was not previously used. Unfortunately, the identity of the cutter (K?) or stock number K53184? is not clear or in the same format as the Cornish Labels.
A European map would have been of great interest after the redrawing of country boundaries during the conferences and treaties ending the Great War. The cut of this jigsaw is similar to that of the Valley Church. The Escape of a Heretic shows some line-cutting and a push-fit style with less defined knobs - it is closer in style to the example shown in the BCD magazine of the monks fishing, belonging to the London Club but listing Mrs Aldon Roen as proprietor.
Anne Williams found information about Aldon Studios from Games and Toys, a Feb 1917 Trade Magazine. It gave the address as 263 Regent St W, and described them as specialists in jigsaw puzzles, 'unique little figures cut in 3ply wood', makers of 'Eve' figures and 6d calendars.

Sculpture, Session I, 10 – 13 year olds
In this project, students focused on increasing and developing their design skills. Each student made a set of tiles. They started with preliminary sketches to work out ideas and then worked on honing those ideas to end up with a strong finished design. We worked with sequence and the visual relationships between one tile and the next. We worked with how to get our content into a simple and strong presentation; in part by looking at a book of international signs (1000 Signs, Tasken 2009) and in part by redrawing, rethinking and distilling the student’s drawn designs. In considering their own content, students experimented with the visual possibilities of that content in this particular format. Throughout the class, the students moved forward with their technical skill level, learning to control the clay and glazing processes.

Victorian Alpine Huts survey, for Parks Victoria April, May 1994.
This hut is located on Grazing Block 25 which was held by HB Duane around 1900 followed by FA & PH Howman of Eskdale in the 1920s who were joined by JK Kelly{ 1092/121}. L Prichard of Mitta Mitta had it in the 1930s when the lease boundaries were disputed with adjoining leaseholder, Maddison. Maddison & Neilson took the block in 1934-5 but Prichard & Hodgkin won it back in the following year. Hodgkin & Yea of Eskdale took it in the early 1940s but by then the Soil Conservation Board was undertaking its investigation into erosion in the alps. In 1946 the Bogong High Plains advisory Committee recommended that all leases be cancelled in the area and reissued with new conditions limiting stock numbers. The limit on this block was suggested at 350 cattle or horses (no sheep allowed) and the tenure was strictly 25 November to 30 April{ ibid. departmental note 9.10.46}. The area was also reduced from 8700 acres to 8100, along with a general redrawing of grazing block boundaries. The Soil Conservation Authority requested Graeme Butler 24,25 be terminated at the end of 1956-7, allowing a years grace if fencing was carried out on the Eskdale Spur to exclude the Kiewa Scheme catchment. Grazing Block 25 was cancelled October 1957. This hut was reputedly built by the SEC in the 1950s to facilitate hydronic measurements for the Big River diversion{ Boadle (1983): 10}. A first aid kit and `Accident Report Ledger' held in the hut date from 1954, with reports such as chainman, Leslie Hay (/d 20201), who worked in the Bogong section complaining of a stomach upset in January 1955; he was back on the job the next day. The hut was not shown on the 1945 SEC `Kiewa Scheme' plan{ copy held}. The hut was described in 1983 as clad with galvanised iron, in good condition but infrequently used and not important for refuge. It was to be maintained by the National Parks Service but was not to be replaced{ NPS (1983): 45}. It was no longer used by the SEC. Set on a river flat in snow and mountain gum, some 10m from the Big River, the hut (3.25x2.75m) frame was sawn hardwood, the cladding c.g.i. and the floor timber. A double bunk, a table and simple chairs were provided{ Boadle (1983): 10}. Access was by foot, with fording of the Big River required to reach the hut. Nearly ten years later (1992) this hut was described thus: INTERIOR A sink and bench were at the opposite end (north) to the door, with a bunk bed at the south-east corner. Floor- short lengths of apprx. 110mm T&G softwood, painted Walls- unlined Ceiling-unlined, Malthoid over roof battens. EXTERIOR Door- vertical T&G boarded, L&B Windows- two 4-pane timber framed Walls & Gabled Roof- silver painted cgi. Floor- hardwood bearers and stumps, floor 450-600mm above ground, joists short lengths

Our second pose was a 25 minute one, so I decided to go for a line and wash drawing.
As usual, I started with a light pencil sketch which I erased once I'd done my pen sketch on top of it (using the pencil sketch as a rough guide but redrawing rather than just tracing over it).
For the washes, I restricted myself to just indigo watercolour.
The whole thing took about 15 minutes.
Original Caption: Paterson, New Jersey - Textiles. Redrawing: This operation is performed on the winding machine. In making the warp, thread is wound off the bobbins (the bobbins seen in the picture). The practice is to take bobbins from the creel with some yarn left on them. This leaves bobbins partially filled for use on the creel again. The purpose of redrawing is to wind the yarn off of partially filled bobbins to obtain the full bobbins, March 1937

One of the least bad uses/interpretations of the overall structure withouth redrawing the paths -- except for the Y.

Grazing Block 25 was cancelled October 1957. Between 1939 and 1955 the SEC established some 30 work sites and accommodation centres in the Upper Kiewa River valley and on the Bogong High Plains, including group accommodation for men on wages. These huts appear to be of that type. Many of these huts were dismantled after the c1951 recession or the completion of the scheme{ Lawrence, 1989 and typescript, 1989: 20}. The surmised date of c1952 appears to refer to the relocation rather than construction date which could from the late 1930s to 1950s. Two of these huts were described in 1983 as old SEC huts in fair condition used and maintained by Bogong School and the Bogong Youth Group, with some use by cattlemen and walkers but with no formal license{ NPS (1983): 45 (supported by 1994 inspection}. They were sited beside the East Kiewa Fire Track at the head of the Bogong Creek water race, about 910m elevation{ Boadle (1983): 5}. One hut was used as the bunk room (2.8x3.7m) and the other the kitchen (2.8x7.3m). Both huts were described as clad with weatherboards with c.g.i roofs, timber floors and part or total Masonite internal lining. The kitchen hut had tables, benches, wood heater, shelves, storage and one set of bunks; the bunk room had four bunks. The environs consisted of an exotic grassed clearing with broad leaf peppermint and mountain gum forest nearby. There were no yards{ ibid.}.
This was a sketch I did a few years ago. The idea came from me saying "girl on a vespa" and being heard as saying "gorilla on a vespa" which *is* way cooler that a girl on a vespa. I did as much research as possible, as I always do, to make sure this hasn't been done before and found this existing design, but luckily I think it's quite different from mine, even though it's technically of the same thing.
This one was pretty tough... I've yet to figure out how to stylize animals. I was asked to do a purple kangaroo with white polka dots, and yet I couldn't run with it..
x.X I spent forever redrawing those arms, which still came out too long. Looks like some strange cross with a dinosaur...
Tried to go for a cave painting/aboriginal pattern vibe, but I think I overdid it... But once I put that glitter pen on the paper, it was too late! Yes, shimmery all over, but can't see it onscreen :(.

This is a rough layout design and opening shot from a personal project I started last year. The project has been sitting on the back-burner for a while, but I revisited it a little bit today. This is a fictitious place, though I hope some people would find something familiar about it. It’s kind of an amalgam of, or inspired by, different cities — primarily San Francisco and New York, with a little added bit of a Northwestern element. Obviously, it’s quite rough, but there’s an energy in this that I really like and that I think would be hard to duplicate if I tried redrawing it.

Loch Long is a body of water in the council area of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The Sea Loch extends from the Firth of Clyde at its southwestern end. It measures approximately 20 miles (30 kilometres) in length, with a width of between one and two miles (two and three kilometres). The loch also has an arm, Loch Goil, on its western side.
Its name is not a reference to is length; it actually comes from the Gaelic for "ship lake". Prior to their defeat at the Battle of Largs in 1263, Viking raiders sailed up Loch Long to Arrochar, and then dragged their longships 2 miles overland to Tarbet and into Loch Lomond. Being inland, the settlements around Loch Lomond were more vulnerable to attack.
Loch Long forms part of the coast of the Cowal Peninsula, and forms the entire western coastline of the Rosneath Peninsula.
Loch Long was historically the boundary between Argyll and Dunbartonshire; however, boundary redrawing in 1996 meant that it moved wholly within the council area of Argyll and Bute.
The steamboat Chancellor used to traverse the loch, departing Dunoon at 11:00 and returning about five hours later. PS Waverley was also built to serve Loch Long and Loch Goil from 1947, a route that she still sailed as of 2021, albeit as more of an attraction than a primary means of transport.
Villages on the loch include Arrochar at its head and Cove on the east shore near its foot.

So last nite im did this live painting benefit for a womans organization womensvoicesnow.org. they a few issues they champion one is stopping gential mutilation in the 3rd world so im doing a series called stop genital mutilation and im taking your photos from a pinterest.com board curated by enid hwang and redrawing them in my kawaii midcentury style but each model will have a missing limb or injury of some kind. Theyre going to be wearing this seasons stuff like katie gallagher and whatnot...Its going to be a totally weird juxtaposition of images but im stoked how it came out. The imagery was pretty interesting for a benefit for a womens organization, half way through i was like :oh shit im drawing all these bloody wymen theyre gonna think im nuts" but i had the stop genital mutilation part written on the wall so that helped. On the women with the slit throat that was actually part of a conversation I had during the event with a woman who made the point that if ppl were slitting womens throats there would be international outrage but because its not seen its not talked about. Also there was a hookah there as a part of the event (with tobacco!) and i used the charcoal to burn the mouth of the woman in the katie gallagher inspired leather jacket. And I used the ash from the hookah to do a wash of ash and water. I love that kind of shit at live paintings... anyways tell me what you think
Spent hours redrawing and inking this and then decided the biro version was better.... so that's the one that went to print...

RAF Spilsby was a former Royal Air Force station during World War Two and the Cold War located in the rural village of Great Steeping, near the market town of Spilsby in Lincolnshire.
During World War Two the Air Ministry attempted to build an Airfield at Gunby Hall that would have covered most of the estate and necessitated the demolition of the magnificent and historic hall, the then owner, Field Marshal Sir Archibald Montgomery-Massingberd personally appealed to King George VI and the Air Ministry relented, redrawing the plans that resulted in the building of the resited RAF Spilsby Airfield although the runway would eventually end only a few yards short of the Gunby estate boundary hedge.
The airfield was built at Great Steeping just 2 miles south west of its originally planned location at Gunby, during 1942 to 1943 and opened for action on 20th September 1943 as an overflow satellite airfield to RAF East Kirkby in 5 (Bomber) Group RAF. The first operational squadron to be based at RAF Spilsby were No. 207 Squadron RAF who moved from RAF Langar on 12th October 1943. The squadron bombed Hanover in Germany six days later on 18th October and the following week the station was upgraded from satellite status to a full station in its own right. In April 1944 the three local bomber stations at RAF Spilsby, RAF Strubby and RAF East Kirkby combined to form the 55 (Bomber) Group RAF with the headquarters located at RAF East Kirkby. RAF Spilsby became a two squadron station when No. 44 Squadron RAF relocated from RAF Dunholme Lodge near Lincoln in October 1944.
In 1944 a RAF Spilsby based 207 Squadron Airman, Flying Officer Denys Street escaped from the German prisoner of war camp Stalag Luft III and was one of the fifty executed by the Gestapo in the aftermath of the mass escape that was later filmed as 'The Great Escape'.
During the war the Lancasters of 207 Squadron flew over 6,000 individual sorties during 540 operational missions, by both day and night with the loss of 154 seven man crews killed or missing, with at least another 9 aircraft lost on non-operational training or ferry flights. As World War Two came to an end 44 Squadron was moved south to RAF Mepal in Cambridgeshire and they were replaced by No. 75 (New Zealand) Squadron who were planned to be part of the Tiger Force against Japan. However, when the nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the war ended, the RAF Spilsby squadrons were moved elsewhere in October 1945. The airfield defence force of No. 2751 Squadron RAF Regiment remained at RAF Spilsby and it became No. 2 Armament and Gunnery Practice School.
On Easter Monday 10 April 1944, during the preparation for an operation, a 1,000 lb (450 kg) bomb exploded while it was being disarmed in a fusing shed. Ten squadron armourers were killed, three of whom were never found and have no known grave. The force of the explosion also caused damage to some of the airfield's buildings and even some slight damage in the nearby community.
The second accident happened on 1st November 1944. During 207 Squadron's daylight departure on sorties, a Lancaster piloted by Flying Officer Arthur Loveless swung violently on take-off and careered across the airfield. It demolished a Nissen hut before coming to rest among four Halifaxes belonging to 429 'Bison' Squadron (RCAF) which had been diverted to Spilsby from the previous night's operation. The Lancaster and three of the Halifaxes were destroyed by explosion and fire. A fourth Halifax was severely damaged and its Flight Engineer killed when he started the engines with the intention of getting clear of the inferno. Once again a number of the airfield's buildings were damaged with the control tower having a narrow escape. A few days later on 11st November, a further tragedy befell Spilsby airmen when returning home from an operation. Two Lancasters, one from 44 Squadron, flown by Pilot Officer Garyer, and one from 207 Squadron, received identical landing instructions from the RAF Spilsby Control Tower and collided in the approach funnel over the village of Bratoft, east of the airfield, killing both crews and scattering debris over a large area. This led to revised approach procedures being implemented with aircraft being allocated specific time slots to prevent overcrowding in the circuit.

The Wolf Book, designed in 1990
____
In first grade, our teacher assigned us a project. Each student was assigned an animal, and our task was to research that animal. We compiled our research into a short, ten page book. The animal I chose was the Mongolian wild horse, and the experience was a blast. I absolutely loved the process of researching, drawing pictures and maps, and ending up with a designed object.
A few months later, during the summer of 1990, I decided to make another book about one of my favorite animals, the wolf. I spent several weeks photocopying pages from National Geographic World magazine, redrawing maps and diagrams, filling pages with some very bizarre editorial drawings, and typing paragraphs on an ancient word processor. The finished pages were then comb-bound at my father's office.
While designing my recent book, Forgetting Oildorado, I recalled the process of making The Wolf Book. I travelled to my parents house where the book resided, and flipped through it for the first time in well over a decade. It's fascinating to revisit something that was once so cherished, and to see the striking parallels between something that was designed at the age of 7 and the work that I'm currently producing.
When I made this book, I had no idea that I'd end up a graphic designer. But it seems that from a very early age, I was -- unknowingly -- well on my way.
