[235] Mock Turtle Story

The Mock Turtle's Story
You can't think how glad I am to see you again, you dear old thing! said the Duchess, as she tucked her arm affectionately into Alice's, and they walked off together.Alice was very glad to find her in such a pleasant temper, and thought to herself that perhaps it was only the pepper that had made her so savage when they met in the kitchen.
When I'M a Duchess, she said to herself, (not in a very hopeful tone though), I won't have any pepper in my kitchen AT ALL. Soup does very well without--Maybe it's always pepper that makes people hot-tempered, she went on, very much pleased at having found out a new kind of rule, and vinegar that makes them sour--and camomile that makes them bitter--and--and barley-sugar and such things that make children sweet-tempered. I only wish people knew that: then they wouldn't be so stingy about it, you know--
She had quite forgotten the Duchess by this time, and was a little startled when she heard her voice close to her ear. You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can't tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit.
Perhaps it hasn't one, Alice ventured to remark.
Tut, tut, child! said the Duchess. Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it. And she squeezed herself up closer to Alice's side as she spoke.
Alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the Duchess was VERY ugly; and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon Alice's shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin. However, she did not like to be rude, so she bore it as well as she could.
The game's going on rather better now, she said, by way of keeping up the conversation a little.
'Tis so, said the Duchess: and the moral of that is--"Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go round!"
Somebody said, Alice whispered, that it's done by everybody minding their own business!

[193] It's My Birthday and I'll Draw If I Want To
Disculpen el orden. Por alguna razon el blogger esta fastidiado y hoy tengo urgencia en acabar el post. Entre mis paradas...Ver el juego entre Argentina y Uruguay en el Cafe del Tren, la barra que colinda con mi apartment y que abre cuando esta de ganas. Queria que ganara Argentina, pero gano Uruguay. Que importa, si no sigo la serie...pero el juego estuvo bueno. Pisado con cervezas...
Previo a la consabida peregrinacion a San Patricio Plaza a ver HP 7.2 comimos unos ricos helados de Lemonade Swirl (o algo asi) de Ben and Jerrys. Bonus points for playing most of Gorillaz Demon Days while we had our ice cream. Yo hubiese ido byrds o rolling stones, but who's complaining. Me levanto la moral.

Visual Design

Like the composition made for the Gregor Mendel's image above...

Charley Harper as Illustrator: the 1960s, part I
By the 1960s Charley was one busy commercial artist; he was doing ad campaigns for Libbys Pineapple1 and Morton Salt, continuing his work for the various Ford publications, and began a major commission for Western Publishing – the Giant Golden Book of Biology.

Shinobu Ishihara 石原 忍 (25 Sep 1879 – 3 Jan 1963) graduated on a military scholarship from the Imperial University of Tokyo in 1905. In 1908 he began postgraduate studies in ophthalmology, first in Tokyo and, during 1913–14, in Germany. He received his Igaku Hakushi from the Imperial University in Tokyo in May 1916 and became a chief physician general in the Imperial Army. One of his first military assignments was to design a color-blindness for new recruits.
His first two sets of plates were hand painted watercolors that included “hidden” hiragana characters and were tested with a color-blind colleague. A third version, done in 1917, replaced the hirahanga with arabic numerals.
Well. I close for now. Hoping that the Santillana editorial that sells most of my sons' textbooks catch a glimpse of 1 or 2 pages of great visual design instead of the crappy mess of crammed knowledge and biased environmentalism they teach.

[soiled beach = PRASA's fault, not the pampers I left on the beach on my last visit to Dorado's Sardinera Beach]
Although I really dig the illustrations made by Laura Michell on some of the stories of Santillana. I like the water colors and visual elements she uses...

Recap from Biloxi

I mentioned on the previous post I was very anxious to get to PR. I got to the Gulfport airport two hours before hand. I forgot this was not PR. Things move when there is not much people. The second image is my view from Gate 7 of the airport.
Biloxi is oyster and shrimp industry as I posted earlier. Now add the oil skimmers that are deployed all over the transects of the Gulf of Mexico. This is a sketch of a crew receiving oil contaminated boom material for decontamination. Note that direct contact is using tyvek suits while the crane operator uses standard PPE (helmet, gloves, floater device and high visibility jackets).
It is not news that BP is contracting local ships to deploy the boom. They are also involving the local communities for the cleanup activities. As for me, I am adjusting my schedule to Puerto Rico again. Old projects are screaming up in vengeance.Wednesday, September 23, 2009
