Model – Meluxine This is about as ghetto as studio-esque lighting gets. / It’s called daylight. / I know, weird hey. And it’s so cheap it’s scary. Copyright 2008 Harmony Nicholas ps. if you happen to own/know of this ‘pasta’, I would strongly advise against trying to eat it. The model’s only just getting her taste buds back.

The Champion Moth is actually a butterfly. It’s a common misconception even among lepidopterists who can often be found lepidopting away in ignorance of this very pertinent fact. I started with the idea of opaque butterfly wings. Then I saw a pattern emerging in my work, a bad thing. And I should where it’s convenient always take things one step further with every project, so I had a vacancy for something new. It was then a case of figuring out what is the opposite of what one would expect. I was reading about how sparkplugs work and it was interesting stuff. Why they are the shape they are etc. Very interesting to me anyway. And butterflies could be shaped like sparkplugs with wings, that was credible enough for me. Then there was some minor photoshopping just to bring out the colours that were in the scan already. I don’t know how they get in there but I’m happy enough to use them because they’re an analog effect. I’d like to thank my always-obliging hacksaw blade who did a fantastic job teaming up with a piece of string to make a curved ruler sort of thing. When I was coming to the end of the drawing phase I was reminded of one of my favourite quotes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams: / It was a large mattress, and probably one of quite high quality. Very few things actually get manufactured these days, because in an infinitely large Universe such as, for instance, the one in which we live, most things one could possibly imagine, and a lot of things one would rather not, grow somewhere. A forest was discovered recently in which most of the trees grew ratchet screwdrivers as fruit. The life cycle of ratchet screwdriver fruit it quite interesting. Once picked it needs a dark dusty drawer in which it can lie undisturbed for years. Then one night it suddenly hatches, discards its outer skin which crumbles into dust, and emerges as a totally unidentifiable little metal object with flanges at both ends and a sort of ridge and a sort of hole for a screw. This, when found, will get thrown away. No one knows what it is supposed to gain from this. Nature, in her infinite wisdom, is presumably working on it. / No one really knows what mattresses are meant to gain from their lives either. They are large, friendly, pocket-sprung creatures which live quiet private lives in the marshes of Squornshellous Zeta. Many of them get caught, slaughtered, dried out, shipped out and slept on. None of them seem to mind and all of them are called Zem. Bearpaw (a very nice person) wrote this incredible bit about it. / The moth/butterfly represents evolving, the spark plug represents not letting the spark within die, the flower represents a persons’ sense of fragility/purity. / Thanks Bearpaw.

A gurn is a distorted facial expression. Gurning contests are a rural English tradition. / “Those with the greatest gurn capabilities are often those with no teeth, as this provides greater room to move the jaw further up. In some cases the elderly or otherwise toothless can be capable of spectacular gurns covering the entire nose.”

I don’t know if this is factual, fictional, or a bit of each, but the most commonly circulated story about how the ladybug got its name is quite interesting. According to that account, quite a long time ago in Europe, a small farming village was experiencing unprecedented problems with insects that kept devouring the crops. Faced with certain ruin, the peasants fell to their knees and began to beg the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to send help in their calamity. Their simple faith was soon rewarded. The farmers began to notice a change in the crops. The dying foliage started to revitalize and greenness once again appeared on the landscape. Something was definitely reversing the devastation. As they looked closer, the farmers noticed small red bugs with black dots festooning their tiny concave, shell-like, bodies. Like soldiers called in to battle, they were eating the culprits—destructive aphids. “Our Lady’s bugs, Our Lady’s beetles,” the grateful villagers proclaimed. Eventually, as the small insects became a familiar part of their lives, the people shortened their name to ladybugs, the term by which they are still known today and perhaps one of the reasons why they are so well-loved. Whatever the case, ladybugs are the allies of farmers; they are tiny soldiers that patrol the fields making sure there will be food on the table for everyone.

The former world-heavyweight champion boxer John L. Sullivan, depicted in a classic pose, as if etched in stone. Sullivan was a hero to many of his fellow Irish-Americans in the late nineteenth century. He was a fighter in the old days when matches could last more than one-hundred rounds and opponents were allowed to kick, wrestle, and gouge as well as punch. After he retired, the great ‘John L.’ helped instate the modern boxing rules that we have today- including the use of gloves! / The original was completed in watercolor and gouache on Arches cold-press, in 2006.

When the thoroughbred, Barbaro, stepped onto the turf of Churchill Downs on May 6, 2006, he set in motion what would become a memorable accomplishment, a national story, and an ongoing legacy that will benefit horses everywhere forever. Barbaro won the 132nd running of the Kentucky Derby by 6½ lengths, the largest winning margin in 60 years. But two weeks later, during the Preakness Stakes, the 2nd Jewel of aTriple Crown that many believed was his destiny, Barbaro shattered several bones in his right rear leg. He was treated at the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, for over eight months. Thanks to the dedication of New Bolton’s staff and this amazing horse’s strong will to live, his shattered leg was healed. Yet just before he was expected to leave New Bolton, the silent killer, laminitis, a debilitating and painful disease of the hoof, stole success from Barbaro and from all of those who had grown to love him. Having developed severe laminitis in three of his four hooves, Barbaro was humanely euthanized at New Bolton on January 29, 2007. Because of Barbaro and his story, The University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine has established The Fund to Fight Laminitis. Building on the School’s renowned reputation for animal stem cell research and equine care, this fund is being used for cutting-edge research to develop preventative and therapeutic treatments for fighting this deadly disease. This portrait of Barbaro has been licensed by Roy & Gretchen Jackson. Due to the license agreement with them I can only offer reproductions through my website www.laurajsmith.com You can purchase limited edition giclee’ prints, greeting cards, and holiday ornaments.

Yesterday the infamous artist formerly known as Resisto unleashed his RES-101 on an unsuspecting community, not only giving us a look at this new and bold creation, but in the true spirit of copyleft, handing over the instructions for all and sundry to assist in the creation of a wind-up army. Having no intention of ever really growing up, I couldn’t think of a better way to pass an hour than to build a big cardboard robot, actually I made it slightly bigger than it was, but only because as you can see my desk hasn’t improved much since the Melbourne days, and RES-101 would have a lot to contend with. In fact, I popped out later on for a copy of ‘Fly Fishing’ by J R Hartley and when I came back RES has escaped the clutter and was trying to shin over the back wall. So I put him in the oven. Now go and make your own and tell Scott he’s a champion. I think we need to mark the spread of the army on a world map.

My daddy is an 84 year old WWII veteran and a lifelong resident of southern Louisiana who loves LSU with a passion. His team won the National Championship last night so he’s really smiling today. Here he is in all his purple and gold regalia celebrating his love for the Tigers, a sweet victory for Daddy, especially after battling cancer a few months ago. I’m posting this card especially for family and friends who might want to have this as a keepsake of a joyful moment in Daddy’s life.
