Camouflage / Andrew Barton ‘Banjo’ Paterson —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- BESIDE the bare and beaten track of travelling flocks and herds / The woodpecker went tapping on, the postman of the birds, / “I’ve got a letter here,” he said, “that no one’s understood, / Addressed as follows: ‘To the bird that’s like a piece of wood.’ / “The soldier bird got very cross—it wasn’t meant for her; / The spur-wing plover had a try to stab me with a spur: / The jackass laughed, and said the thing was written for a lark. / I think I’ll chuck this postman job and take to stripping bark.” Then all the birds for miles around came in to lend a hand; / They perched upon a broken limb as thick as they could stand, / And just as old man eaglehawk prepared to have his say / A portion of the broken limb got up and flew away. Then, casting grammar to the winds, the postman said, “That’s him! / The boo-book owl—he squats himself along a broken limb, / And pokes his beak up like a stick; there’s not a bird, I vow, / Can tell you which is boo-book owl and which is broken bough. “And that’s the thing he calls his nest—that jerry-built affair— / A bunch of sticks across a fork; I’ll leave his letter there. / A cuckoo wouldn’t use his nest, but what’s the odds to him— / A bird that tries to imitate a piece of leaning limb!” Note from G.M. / A B. actualy is in error about the frogmouth being the boo book owl. Frogmouths are not owls, they use their beak to catch prey, not their claws. /

Hihi! Udonchow has expanded! I have started another gallery here in RB, it’ called smile4me :D I decided to journal about this again(in greater details :D) because I’ve been pretty low profile about it and have not made much publicity about it. smile4me is a gallery showcasing my toys photography, yes Ophelia appears on photos too! View all my other toys and dolls in natural green settings and read the mini short stories that I have written about them too :D In addition, I have also started another Zazzle store called Heartworks that sells my toy photography stuff. Below are the shoes that I have designed from my Heartworks store, I am in the midst of designing more :D In moments like this, I wish I can have extra pairs of hands and more hours! I’m now managing 2 RBs and 2 Zazzles….and at the same time, I still painting and drawing…which is something which I do not want to stop :D The reason of the expansion (or some call it segregation) between the fine arts and photography is mainly because the concepts and appearance of the works are very different. Thank you so much for your love and support towards me and my work thus far, I am deeply appreciative!! :D :D :D Feel most welcome to visit smile4me gallery here in RB and my Heartworks ! Thanks for viewing! :D “Frangipani” “Hoot Hoot!” “Goldie Belle” “BB aka Black Bunny”

I’ve decided to learn from successful rebubblers out there and be more proactive :p (I love browsing, lazy to write), and decided to pimp up my profile page a little with some of the ‘HOT’ sellers…ehem… just to give everyone an idea of what sells from my collection. I haven’t sold any cards on ‘Bloom’ and ‘Companion’ yet, but I added them in anyway…..just to add some variety :D Who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky. hehehehe……

For those who are curious about such things, I’ve started taking pictures of my artworks as they are in progress, so one can see the stages of development. First up is “Ursa”, a mixed media piece measuring 11×15 inches. First to the drawing board (literally) for a preparatory sketch: Then I start to make the initial colorization. I generally start with the face first: Harley Cat is apparently appalled at the direction this new artwork is taking. Or he’s just very tired. Final stages: Scan of the final image: Next up is my latest piece, “Three Ravens”, which measures 25×19 inches. The initial sketch with the first bird colorized and all the “halos” painted in with gold acrylics: I used blue pastel paper to make the color on the ravens “pop” more: / Another raven comes to life: / Starting in on the background with it’s stylized wheat field: / / The final artwork: / Professional photo: / And finally a sneak peak at a new piece I started last night, called “The Serpent Tree”, which is inspired by the various world tree / tree of life myths.
