I always thought of visiting Dublin and reading Ulysses by James Joyce in a quiet pub.
Maybe Melinda could join me.

"For tonight we must leave... With the first gentle breeze...
For the Isles Of Ken... We are assailing... JUST LIKE ULYSSES...
On an open sea... On an odyssey... Of self discovery..."

Ulysses, Idaho, is a ghost town known for its brief but intense history as a gold mining camp called Indian Creek. It was inaccessible until 1902, when a large stamp mill arrived, but by 1912, the mines had not proven profitable despite producing about $600,000 in gold. The town, also known as Ruby, Rubyville, and Boulder, was never officially incorporated, but it did have a mining camp with residences, bunkhouses, and various businesses. Nature and vandals have since taken their toll on the remnants of the town.
very blurry shot. They are hard to catch with their wings open. Ulysses butterfly.
Papilio ulysses, the Ulysses butterfly (also commonly known as the Blue emperor), is a large swallowtail butterfly of Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Its size varies depending on subspecies, but the wingspan is about 10.5 cm (4.1 in) in Queensland.[1]. (Wikipedia)
The prominent British avant-garde writer Virginia Woolf described the novel as "nonsense."
After some passages were serialized in the American magazine Little Review in 1920, an obscenity trial resulted in a fine for the editors and an order to suspend publication. The novel was also censored in the United Kingdom.
Nevertheless, Beach, owner of Shakespeare & Company on the Rue Dupuytren, was determined to publish it in book form, which she did, partly financing it with her own money and the promise of subscribers.
Writing about how she achieved this, she recounted having to "spare every penny to pay" for the book's printing.
Beach's decision to publish made her a "cultural hero of the avant-garde," noted Keri Walsh, director of the Institute of Irish Studies at Fordham University in New York.
"There was a sense that this was going to be one of the defining books of modernism, so she felt she would secure her own place in literary history by being its editor," Walsh told BBC News NI.

En faisant cette création me venait dans la tête la magnifique chanson de Georges Brassens : Heureux qui comme Ulysse. Ecoutez-la elle est jolie.
ODC-Library
This Library is in the town of Ulysses, NY. and in the Village of Trumansburg and in Tompkins Country. I think I need to go to the Library and look that up! Philomathic refers to the love of study and learning.
After the trouble with the LEGO Ulysses last week, I built a proper version of the space probe in the same scale with more details!
Everyone who couldn’t get the other one or just likes this one better can build it using the free instructions on StoneWars. All 291 pieces should be available on LEGO Bricks & Pieces.
Finally, a model to use your golden Slopes and Nexo shields for!
Heureux qui, comme Ulysse, a fait un beau voyage,
Ou comme cestuy-là qui conquit la toison,
Et puis est retourné, plein d'usage et raison,
Vivre entre ses parents le reste de son âge !
Homer's Odyssey is imbued in its entirety with Ulysses's overwhelming and burning desire to return home. Would migrants now living in London happily get a double-decker bus to the airport in order to fly back to Korea? Would one long for the sweet day of return (nostimon ēmar, νόστιμον ἦμαρ) to one's own faraway land by abandoning a skyscrapers' metropolis beneath grey skies?
It is for all migrants on a world-wide scale (and for all times, too) that the poet sings. Can the world’s migrants be inspired by Homer's eternal, perpetual calling for the noble desire to be repatriated? If so, then they will have a chance to stand up and fight in their own fatherland for ideals such as democracy and the right to pursue happiness.
The shot was inspired by a Korean artist's (Do Ho Suh's) masterpiece—a traditional Korean house replica on top of a bridge spanning Wormwood Street in the City of London (the artwork formed part of the “Sculpture in the City” programme and the “Art Night” Initiative). It was also inspired by Homer's Odyssey (bk 1: 9, 165 etc.)
20:1 shot of Papilio ulysses, a beautiful blue swallowtail that I bought on eBay for the purpose. It's a bit of a personal victory for me for a couple of reasons - first of all it's the first time I've been able to use continuous lighting using a Jansjo light and secondly I'm pretty pleased with the effect I got on the lighting. I wanted to be able to light it so that the tips of the scales were bright giving them an edge. I think that makes scales shots work really well and was something I just couldn't get working using flash.
Still quite tricky in terms of the lighting though because this things is so blue that setting usual expected colour balance settings just didn't work, it was too blue. So there was quite a bit of fiddling involved. This shot uses JML20x with cellophane wrapper diffuser, with 2 Ikea Jansjo Lights, one placed very far to southwest but close to diffuser (thus producing shallow angle creating the tips) and another more frontal, but further away. Exposure 2.5s. Fwiw, removing the Y-Z velbon stage I was using for rough positioning gave me the stability for using continuous. The Velbon is handy for rough positioning when you're at 1:1-5:1 but beyond that it seems to act as a bad fulcrum so the whole thing was visibly swaying at 20:1.
Note the imported EXIF is wrong, this was actually at 400 rather than 80

Ulysse, sculpture de Michel Perrot Desnoix, ornait le rond point de la promenade des régates à Sainte Adresse.
Le voilà de nouveau le regard face à la mer, installé au début est de la promenade des régates, réjoui de ne plus voir passer les véhicules devant lui.

SHIP Bio: The A.F. Ulysses has wandered the universe for as long as anyone can remember, seeking to deliver its mysterious cargo. It has always been piloted and defended by one man, and has never been boarded.

So after finally postponing this fig because I didn't have parts he is finally done! This custom was relatively easy to make and I had little to no trouble.
I started off this fig by making the jacket which I had to remake multiple times (which I'll get into) and then I went onto to sculpt the mask and chest armor. Since I have ran out of procreate I had to use greenstuff. The belts are made out of paper and the little pouch is made put of card. So when I had initially made the trench coat I had nothing sculpted on the chest so I had to remake it multiple times, it wasn't difficult just time consuming. Also the trench coat is made out of paper. This fig was painted using Apple Barrel and Anita paints.
A little side note is that the wiki said he has blue eyes but his in-game model he has brown so I painted brown, but whatever.
After I finish my last couple of contest entries for this month, I'm taking a break from Project Purity to make a bigger project.
Anyways hope you guys like this custom as much as I did! Comments and favorites appreciated!
This is also one of my entries into Daring Customs' Animation Contest.
My first shot with the Black Dragon Viewer. Still needs some work but I'm getting there! I need to get the hang of lighting and shadows. Still trying to figure it all out.

Here is a new version of the Tri Part shuttle from Ulysses 31 animated. This one is closer to the anime whereas my 2013 version was made to look like the Popy toy. By the way, it took a few centimeters in width and height, which allowed me to make a larger saucer (Dardos) with an interior that could contain 3 Lego minifigures. Despite everything, I wanted to keep a family resemblance with the 2013 version so that it is both modern and vintage.
