My work is in one of the chapters of the book "Thinking Visually for Illustrators", second edition, by Mark Wigan (Bloomsbury, London, 2014).
K-Pop is Western culture, musically and visually, that happens to be made in Korea while J-Pop was originally Japanese music made for Japan to emulate Western music, but progressively became an umbrella term for anything "popular culture" in which otaku interests claim the spotlight, propelled by a market of fewer people buying large rather than the mainstream (who doesn't immediately draw their samurai sword at the sight of a filthy gaijin like some would like to believe) buying their fair share To a global audience, K-Pop is something that can simply be enjoyed (or not) while J-Pop, even for the Asian market, requires some level of interest in Japanese culture to become exposed to, followed by varying levels of knowledge to enjoy (or not) You can also thank this guy for turning K-Pop viral www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0 Since I'm here, a "Japanese Idol Thread" isn't a thread for people who are famous in Japan, it's a thread for the "Japanese Idol" style of performer commonly found employed in the Japanese entertainment industry, historically composed of cute girls doing cute things, derived from and frequented by the idol generals on /jp/, which is a Touhou board that occasionally allows people to dabble in other things pertaining to their otaku interests such as the entertainment industry of the country it sets out to discuss, Japan Have a nice day SUSCRÍBETE A MI CANAL Me encanta la animacion, tengo muchos cortos en mi canal, espero lo disfrutes.

Pop Art - a rolling daily diary comprising a manipulated digital art collage that visually documents a local, political or international event of popular culture based on fractured photographic images.
The work is premised on the basis that Pop art in its beginnings, freeze-framed what consumers of popular culture experienced into iconic visual abstractions. With the advent of the techno age, visual information circulates in such quantities, so rapidly and exponentially, that to comprehend a fraction of it all becomes a kind of production process in itself.
Adapting Pop Arts notion of mass media imagery into a context of the contemporary digital age, this work draws on a myriad points of reference. Utilizing fractured images to provide an allusion to the digital noise pounding away daily into our subconsciousness.
This work diverges from the traditional Pop Art notion of a pronounced repetition of a consumer icon, instead focusing on the deluge of contemporary digital content. The compilation of the fragmented imagery is vividly distractive, not unlike cable surfing or a jaunt through Times Square.
This work considers elements of Pop Art through an artistic and conceptual exploration of specific people and events of the day. The works are diaristic in nature that metaphorically record a spectators experience of the contemporary digital age.
A visually-impaired street performer hopes to draw an audience outside the Laoag City public market during a busy "open market" day. Although I failed to chat with him, I think he's not from around here coz I only see him once a year. Here's another photo of him taken in August 2008.
I wonder what stories he can share. :-)

Architecturally, Stoke Dry is an unassuming church in an unassuming village. Visually, it’s nothing to write home about at all. It’s all a bit out of proportion: the tower is positively anorexic; the nave is too narrow for its height; the aisles are asymmetrical. It was surely designed by a committee.
It started life in the c12 aisleless and rectangular in plan. It probably occupied the same space as the present nave and chancel. Very little of it is left, although part of the Norman walling remains in the chancel. On the c14 chancel arch, however, two original Norman shafts remain and these really are wonderful, covered as they are in interwoven designs and carvings.
A south aisle was added in the early c13, but only the arcade remains. The other remnant of this phase of building is the rather bizarrely-placed Early English lancet window on the west end of the tower. The tower itself dates from later in the c13, replacing the usual Rutland bellcote so this lancet window was probably relocated here from the west wall itself.
The north aisle was added in around 1300, possibly replacing an earlier one. During the next 30 years a chapel was built on the south side of the chancel, although at this point there was no connection through to it from the chancel. The present chancel was also modelled at this time, probably using a lot of the Norman masonry. A Norman string course is still visible in the chancel although probably not in its original position.
The Church Guide suggests that the chantry chapel on the south side of the chancel is the oldest part of the church. This is supported by the marvellous wall paintings depicting St Christopher with Christ on his shoulders and, better still, poor St Edmund being perforated by Danish archers! These are executed in wonderful naive style: real folk art from all of 800 years ago. Also in the chapel is the monument to Sir Everard Digby (d. 1541).
The chancel has another Digby monument - this time to Sir Kenelme Digby who did in 1590. It is his grandson, another Sir Everard Digby, who provides this church with its best story. That Sir Everard was a prime mover in the Gunpowder Plot and was hanged for it in 1606. He got off lightly compared with the atrocities committed on some of his co-conspirators The North Porch and parvise room in this church were added during the Tudor period. Legend, now generally discredited, had it that the Plot itself was hatched in the parvise room. A good story, but how would anyone know, one way or the other?
Other Digby family effigies can be seen at Coleshill Church, in Warwickshire. This, as you will see if you look at its page, was the town where I went to school. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, one of the “houses” in the school was “Digby”. All the houses were named after great Midlands families. Mine was “Montfort” and like the Digbys the family had its reasons for notoriety. Simon de Montfort, of course, is famous as the “founder” of the English parliament, but his father was another matter. To find about him visit my page on St Mary Bourne in Hampshire and read Footnote 1.
The interest in this church is rounded off by yet more mediaeval paintings: c14 work in the chancel; the twelve tribes of Israel on the clerestory from the c16. In many ways Stoke Dry epitomises the way in which the unassuming English parish church can be packed with historical interest just waiting to enthrall the casual visitor.

Knowing each other for the past one year, the two could never see their better halves but fell in love over phone as they spoke for hours everyday discussing music, education and most importantly their idea and perception of love. The two got married on March 15 and love is in full blossom, not at first but through their heartstrings.

Visually, the barge is about ten times the size of the tug. The little guy was hauling right along with this.

there is always something visually rich happening in these historical certificates. the artists were able to tell so much in their crafted angelic images. this was an image- part of a certificate hanging on the wall inside the Icelandic Boathouse in Rock Island State Park. (I promise to do my historical research to provide more information. I was on vacation and did not have a pen/paper to take notes at the time.)
until then, you can know that Chester Thordarson, inventor and engineer built the Boathouse and established a family home on the island. More about his life can be found in the following link:

Day 2. Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.
At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.
The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.
The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.
The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.
The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.

Brittany has always been well built. And when we switched to raw even though visually she appeared to be loosing weight on the scales she had gained 2 pounds. Yeah. She gained more muscle. I pronounce that "muss cull" by the way. Because I know you were all wondering "how does Erica pronounce that?"
Brittany and I currently feel like varying degrees of crap. I feel like I have a new form of the flu. Or I'm hoping anyway. Nothing would be more exciting. I need a cool name to go along with it. But nothing creative is coming to mind. Everyday since Saturday when we got on fall break (we get a full week of school off) I have woken up with a new symptom. Saturday I had a stupid sore throat. Then on Sunday I had the pleasure of waking up with less of a sore throat but the addition of being congested. YAY. Then yesterday I got a cough. And today I am now loosing my voice. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. WITH A SMALL FEE OF TRYING TO GET RID OF THE FIRST SYMPTOMS WITH MEDICINE WE'LL THROW IN COUGHING UP MUCUS AND BOOGERS. Well that is so swell.
So there's me. Dramamtically groaning. Acting like death is upon me. And then you have Brittany. Who is limping quite badly. Her left back leg. I noticed yesterday she was having issues jumping onto things beds, chairs, etc. Not like she was yelping, but more like she would take lots of half jumps and then when she actually decided to jump she wasn't easily clearing it and most cases was dragging herself on. And today when I let her out to go chase squirrells so she would quit barking at me on her way back to the door I noticed her limping. Like not wanting to put any pressure on her leg limping. She hasn't yelped over it or anything like that leading me to believe that it might be a pulled muscle (since it wasn't so bad yesterday, but after running it is now). And she is still walking and running around (I'm trying not to let her). I was feeling it and it feels a little swollen. I really have no idea what she did to her leg. I'm at my dad's house, so if she goes to the vet I'm paying for it. I go home Thursday. Hopefully she is feeling better soon and won't need a vet visit. But if it seems to be getting worse she'll probably end up going to her favorite place ever (not).
Right now she is curled up on a pile of pillows. Bello is sleeping on my lap. And Blitzen is sleeping underneath my foot rest. I need to get some pictures of him. It actually looks like fall here in Illinois. And is cold and wet. So hopefully eventually I get my camera out.

Antelope Canyon is another visually stunning geological formation found in the United States southwestern region. Located within the Leechee Chapter of the Navajo Nation in Arizona, USA, it is actually composed of two sections. "The Crack"...named : "Tse bighanilini" in the Navajo language, meaning "The place water runs through rocks" and "The Corkscrew"...named: "Hazdistazi" in Navajo, meaning: "Spiral Rock Arches". Being on native Navajo land, it is accessible only by guided tours. Access is strictly controlled, due to the hazardous terrain in the remote area.
Sections
The two sections of Antelope Canyon were formed by erosion of the Navajo sandstone, over the course of thousands of years. This erosion was performed primarily by the flash floods the region is prone to during the monsoon season. A secondary erosive effect was that of desert winds funneling through the slot canyon throughout the years. Such flash floods continue to occur. One such event on October 30, 2006 lasted for 36 hours.
Antelope Canyon Flooding
Flash floods continue to pose a serious danger to the Antelope Canyon, even though safety measures have been implemented. The National Weather Service has a warning siren in place at the point where tours enter the canyons. However, the flow rate of such floods through the two sections of Antelope Canyon is varied and unpredictable. On August 12, 1997, prior to the installation of the warning siren, eleven tourists lost their lives in a sudden flash flood in the Lower Antelope Canyon. No rain was falling at the site, but a locally heavy thunderstorm 7 miles (11.2 km.) upstream dumped enormous quantities of water into the slot canyon in a matter of minutes. #ourbreathingplanet

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
If you can visually fight your way through the sun flare in this phone photo you can see the redneck repair job (duct tape) holding up the rear window of this Jeep Liberty. (not mine)
It seems Libertys and Grand Cherokees have a deep seated recessive Wrangler gene which allows the windows to inexplicably drop into the door and no longer operate. One day the top may fly off and the windshield flop down onto the hood, right?
It seems there's a cheap ($156.00) plastic bracket that holds the windows up. It must be replaced with a new cheap ($156.00) (still plastic) bracket. (Jeep refuses to acknowledge there is a design flaw.)
Ours, on the rear passenger side, has dropped twice. The first time, 26 months ago, cost us $277.24. It happened again yesterday -- same window!
To compound the aggravation, open windows at highway speeds generate an infrasonic sound wave that turns your vehicle into a gigantic silent elephant whistle which you can't "hear" but that will like to bust your eardrums out with pressure pulsation.
Before you get too gloaty, be informed the wind noise is a trait shared by Toyota RAV4s and Chrysler PT Cruisers among others.
Fortunately, I have a great mechanic now, who treats his customers like kings and knows his stuff.*
Some months ago he told us the cheapest way to fix this is to buy a small pair of Vise Grips, open the door panel, raise the window to the closed position and clamp it up there with the Vise Grips. Cost: $13 for parts.
Above all, DO NOT duct tape the window shut. The adhesive will permanently melt into your paint and virtually NEVER come off the glass.
An added benefit of this "temporary" fix is you will always have a pair of Vise Grips with you should you have an unexpected roadside need for them.
* Thank you, Bill @ Bypass Diesel & Auto Repair, Nashville!
Visually Goose Fair is adorned with amazing artwork which possibly gets overlooked. In 2022 I created a short video focusing on it, check it out!

These series of photos were taken 28 Sept 2023, the day before the official opening of the fair. People were busy making final adjustments to rides, checking electrics, stock of foods, drinks, gifts and so on.
The Nottingham Goose Fair is an annual travelling funfair held at the Forest Recreation Ground here in Nottingham. This year, 2023, it runs for 10 days, usually it's 3 days.

James Barnor and Studio X23, Accra
Moving between Accra and London, James Barnor's stylish portraits visually map societies in transition: Ghana winning independence from Britain, and London embracing the freedoms of the swinging sixties. International fashion editorials featuring Black models were rare in the 1960s. Too often models like Donyale Luna were shown abstracted, their bodies used as an aesthetic device. Barnor, shooting in colour, rehumanised his subjects. Through his work for Drum magazine, he effectively set the standard for the sensitive portrayal of Black beauty, elegance and style.

Taken in the Exhibition
Africa Fashion
(July 2022 to April 2023)
The irresistible creativity, ingenuity and unstoppable global impact of contemporary African fashions are celebrated in an extensive display of garments, textiles, personal testimonies, photographs, sketches, film and catwalk footage in this exhibition. Many of the garments on show hail from the archives of iconic mid-twentieth century African designers – Shade Thomas-Fahm, Chris Seydou, Kofi Ansah and Alphadi. Alongside these are personal insights from influential contemporary African fashion creatives, including Imane Ayissi, IAMISIGO, Moshions, Thebe Magugu and Sindiso Khumalo, as well as highlights from fashion trends of the day, which are on display for the first time.
Foregrounding individual African voices and perspectives, the exhibition presents African fashions as a self-defining art form that reveals the richness and diversity of African histories and cultures. Africa Fashion celebrates the vitality and innovation of a selection of fashion creatives from over 20 countries, exploring the work of the vanguard in the twentieth century and the creatives at the heart of this eclectic and cosmopolitan scene today.
Across contemporary couture, ready-to-wear, made-to-order and adornment, the exhibition seeks to offer a close-up look at the new generation of ground-breaking designers, collectives, stylists and fashion photographers working in Africa today. It explores how the digital world accelerated the expansion of the industry, irreversibly transforming global fashions as we know them.
[V&A]
Architecturally, Stoke Dry is an unassuming church in an unassuming village. Visually, it’s nothing to write home about at all. It’s all a bit out of proportion: the tower is positively anorexic; the nave is too narrow for its height; the aisles are asymmetrical. It was surely designed by a committee.
It started life in the c12 aisleless and rectangular in plan. It probably occupied the same space as the present nave and chancel. Very little of it is left, although part of the Norman walling remains in the chancel. On the c14 chancel arch, however, two original Norman shafts remain and these really are wonderful, covered as they are in interwoven designs and carvings.
A south aisle was added in the early c13, but only the arcade remains. The other remnant of this phase of building is the rather bizarrely-placed Early English lancet window on the west end of the tower. The tower itself dates from later in the c13, replacing the usual Rutland bellcote so this lancet window was probably relocated here from the west wall itself.
The north aisle was added in around 1300, possibly replacing an earlier one. During the next 30 years a chapel was built on the south side of the chancel, although at this point there was no connection through to it from the chancel. The present chancel was also modelled at this time, probably using a lot of the Norman masonry. A Norman string course is still visible in the chancel although probably not in its original position.
The Church Guide suggests that the chantry chapel on the south side of the chancel is the oldest part of the church. This is supported by the marvellous wall paintings depicting St Christopher with Christ on his shoulders and, better still, poor St Edmund being perforated by Danish archers! These are executed in wonderful naive style: real folk art from all of 800 years ago. Also in the chapel is the monument to Sir Everard Digby (d. 1541).
The chancel has another Digby monument - this time to Sir Kenelme Digby who did in 1590. It is his grandson, another Sir Everard Digby, who provides this church with its best story. That Sir Everard was a prime mover in the Gunpowder Plot and was hanged for it in 1606. He got off lightly compared with the atrocities committed on some of his co-conspirators The North Porch and parvise room in this church were added during the Tudor period. Legend, now generally discredited, had it that the Plot itself was hatched in the parvise room. A good story, but how would anyone know, one way or the other?
Other Digby family effigies can be seen at Coleshill Church, in Warwickshire. This, as you will see if you look at its page, was the town where I went to school. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, one of the “houses” in the school was “Digby”. All the houses were named after great Midlands families. Mine was “Montfort” and like the Digbys the family had its reasons for notoriety. Simon de Montfort, of course, is famous as the “founder” of the English parliament, but his father was another matter. To find about him visit my page on St Mary Bourne in Hampshire and read Footnote 1.
The interest in this church is rounded off by yet more mediaeval paintings: c14 work in the chancel; the twelve tribes of Israel on the clerestory from the c16. In many ways Stoke Dry epitomises the way in which the unassuming English parish church can be packed with historical interest just waiting to enthrall the casual visitor.
Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.
At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.
The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.
The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.
The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.
The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.
