This is the storm chaser coming out in me. I didn’t come up with the term but thought it would make a great T for all suffering from this condition..
Even snowmen get colds…well…especially snowmen.

No? I don’t either. Praise God I’m better off than that. But over the last few weeks I think I may have found more creative and imaginative ways to be less than healthy and still go to work every day. Not exactly what I would call the most productive usage of my time but who knows. Maybe I’ll come up with some brand new maladies I can name after myself of something. Cool huh? Yeah, I’ve been mostly away from Red Bubble, stopping by much less often than I’d like to to use faster WiFi connections available when I had the laptop. I miss you all and plan to be doing ‘better sleeping thru psychopharmacology’ and both replying to PM’s and responding to comments in a more timely manner. :-) Be well, all.

Port Arthur prison block, Tasmania. One of the first things that struck me whilst touring the prison was the biting wind, even though it was a summer day. The cell blocks had open windows with only bars across them. It beggars belief that anyone could survive in there in winter! Escape was virtually impossible but some prisoners were not discouraged by this, and tried to escape. Martin Cash successfully escaped along with two others. One of the most infamous incidents, simply for its bizarreness, was the escape attempt of one George “Billy” Hunt. Hunt disguised himself using a kangaroo hide and tried to flee across the Neck, but the half-starved guards on duty tried to shoot him to supplement their meagre rations. When he noticed them sighting him up, Hunt threw off his disguise and surrendered, subsequently receiving 150 lashes. As I stepped out of the block on a fairly bright summer day, the sky darkened, the wind increased, and it began to rain. This atmosphere, that I hope that I have captured here, added to how I felt regarding the misery, hardship, and deprivation, that the convicts had to endure Link Canon 40D 18-55 IS tonemapped
Like most of my work posted here this is a photograph of a two-dimensional painting. Contrary to all appearances, this is a flat trompe l’oeil painting and is actually the first cutout I did back in 1996. It is cut from a single sheet of 3/4 inch birch plywood and then painted to allow real shadows to fall on the wall and match up with the painted shadows.

UPDATE This challenge has been extended to Sunday 26th Feb, and the prize now includes a $50 RedBubble gift voucher — The Background In December, 2008 Bellmusker announced the Seven Deadly Sins – a collaboration of writing efforts linked to a theme. It was through my participation in this that I became involved in the regular Melbourne writers’ meetup, and went for a fun night out of dinner & drinks with Bellmusker , Sheamus D , Jessica Tremp , Michael Alesich , Luckyvegetable and Yasemin Sumner / (god i hope i didn’t miss anyone) Anyway, I can assure you, these people are fun, talented, creative and inspirational, and if you know what’s good for you, you’ll get inspired and follow the instructions below.. The Collaboration The writing collaboration them for this month was conceived by someone, or everyone all at once, I can’t remember, but that’s not important now. What’s important is that YOU can WIN a FREE meal, shouted to you by the Melbourne Writers by simply writing the best story (as judged by us) within the theme of “sensory deprivation”. How you interpret this is open to your imagination. It must somehow be tied to the idea of the (temporary or permanent) loss or absence of one or more of the five senses. The Rules 1) It must adhere to the theme of “Sensory Deprivation” / 2) It must be 1000 words or less / 3) The finished work must be tagged sensorycollab (or we won’t be able to find it!) / 4) should include a link to it in this journal entry (to doubly make sure we find it) / 5) It can be posted any time prior to midnight on Sunday 5th April, Melbourne time Questions? Have I forgotten to cover something? Do you need clarification on any points? If so just post a comment below and one of us will provide an answer.

Like most things I write, this began as a simple story for the Sensory Deprivation collaboration… and it got away from me. I find that when characters begin to speak they surprise me and it’s all I can do to keep up. That said, I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Things people do with their eyes half closed.
Oh, and here’s a dog’s version of sleep deprivation: Sleep Walking Dog
There’s nothing like grocery shopping with bags under your eyes. It saves paper and plastic. Speling getz awl messie. Banging into things that you know are there is imperative. This is especially true of those things that hang and are within immediate head range. Falling asleep on the toilet can be awfully hard on the bum. Be careful when you get up, because your feet are sleeping too. Spraining ankles really isn’t that much fun, but I have heard that Ace Bandages are the up and coming fashion buzz. Photographs that you CLICK in your sleep are usually out of focus, just like you, and have no subject matter, except for maybe a rumpled pillow or bedspread. Well, that’s if the flash goes off. It really is better to dream of a good photo that has crisp, clean lines, great composition and fantastic subject matter. If it’s the kind of picture that you want to dive into, better yet. Driving is a total no-no, since double yellow lines seem to somehow become transparent. Gargling with the open bottle of hair spray that you forgot to refill is very toxic and will create a new ozone hole in your head. Matchsticks can prop your eyes open, but whatever you do, don’t fall head first into the lit candle on the table in front of you when you nod off. It’s always nice when others say that you are radiant, but not while they are dumping a bucket of water over your head to put your head fire out. I’ve done a few of these things, but THANKFULLY not all of them. The other night I had one heck of a good giggle going due to being overtired. Sitting outside with lit candles and a Tiki torch, I pray while gazing into starlit nights on a fairly regular basis. The still of the night, beseeched with sounds of night creatures stirring is very meditative and spiritual for me. I keep a small flashlight handy and click it on if something rustles towards me. That way I can run like a bat out of hell if it’s a big ol’ bear. On a normal night, when I am not tired, I put the lid on my Tiki torch, with my flashlight in hand and carefully put the wooden cap on to douse the flame. Oops…this particular night I accidentally tried to put the wood lid on upside down. Of course I didn’t have my trusty flashlight on. Realizing my mistake, I quickly removed it and put it on the right way. Yup, uh huh…that’s right. After blowing out my candles, I went inside and shut the door. Now, I never turn the patio light on when I am outside. It takes away the ambience. The house was dark on the inside, but I noticed that it was very bright outside. Checking the patio light and wondering why it was on, I quickly realized that it was off. Hmm… Back outside I went. Holy cow, my Tiki top was burning up, shooting a huge flame up into the darkness of the night. Well, what does a Photographer do? Heck, you don’t put the fire out, instead you photograph it, while praying that it is not going to fall down and catch all the dried up pine needles laying all over the ground beneath the torch. CLICK! Eyes, half closed, as my bed was screaming loudly for me to flop down on it, I went and put leather gloves on and got a monkey wrench. Amazingly, I didn’t trip over anything or crash into the screen door. Very carefully, I removed the lid and doused it with my watering can, which luckily I keep full in the shed. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! The moral of this story is: Honor yourself every second, every moment and every hour of the day. / Sleep when you need rest or sleep deprivation will blow your mind away. / Take extra good care of yourself; you’re the only you that you’ve got. / Being a superhero by helping others requires a whole heck of a lot.

Under that tee must be a… Nothing complex here, just a simple joke that just popped in my head after thinking why is the pointer hand pure white? and not flesh coloured? lol this is the result if the wearer was the owner of the hand too :P hence disturbingly pale and in desperate need of a tan!, which the hand highlight is illustrating hehe Now if this could be printed on the back of some shorts then that would be perfect for most people… If you would like some alternate text put in just ask and I’ll edit in no time, for example: “wear eye protection before removing!” / “very very very sunlight deprived” / “click to turn on” (placed on nipple? lol) / “contains nudity, click to enter if 18+” / “man I need a tan!” / “click to remove sunlight shield” / “your redbubble web address?” I could go on all day lol but for now that’s enough alternate text examples, if you think up one to put on a shirt let me know so I can edit, if you will purchase it afterwards that is :) P.S. Personally I am not disturbingly pale :P I get in the sun from time to time lol All feedback and suggestions welcome, if anyone would like something added or altered which would make you happy in order to purchase this item don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll consider reasonable changes to keep any potential buyers happy Jay / R-evolution GFX Other designs you may like from R-evolutionGFX: —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- Oh and: / SPECIAL BIG DI$COUNT OFFER ON MY “Have a nice day” SHIRT! / Click here to Contact me for details / Jay. /
