1. Dennis Nona / I went to an exhibition of his work here in Adelaide. His etchings and linocuts are ENORMOUS. It takes a team of Torres Strait Islanders to print some of the linocuts. / 2. Edward Gorey / I was introduced to Edward Gorey when my sister sent me a copy of ‘the uninvited guest.’ My dog reminds me of this creature at times. I have a popup picture book of his called ‘the dwindling party’. They do indeed dwindle, till only one is left. 3. Lucy Willis / I knew Lucy when I was living in Somerset, UK. She showed me how you can paint in watercolour by drawing with a brush. She is also a fantastic printmaker.

If, as a child, you ever glanced up at the spheroid of helium-filled latex attached to a string you were holding in your hand and wondered, “What’s so much fun about a balloon?”, the startling creatures floating above Cornelius and Oliver Octavio might have you reconsider the question. Capt. Lucien Octavio (see “Adventures of Capt. Octavio”) could not help but notice his sons’ rather somber nature on the rare occasions he returned home from his marine explorations. Despite having the run of their father’s expansive (if a bit gloomy) manse and having the wreck of both an ancient pirate ship AND a submarine to explore in the back yard, the demeanor of the two boys was decidedly dour. Perhaps if they had something to interact with, he reasoned. Something truly exotic that no other boy had…Hmmm. After one of his more elaborate and daring undersea expeditions, the good Capt. disappeared into his remote laboratory for quite some time. He emerged with two of the most astonishing creatures glowing, tethered, above his head. Lucien Octavio had biogenetically engineered an abyssal anglerfish and a humpback anglerfish (species melanocetus johnsonii) to thrive, not only in the photic zone, several atmospheres out of their habitats, but in air rather than water! Bioluminescent in their deepest sea home, the fearsome fish glowed gently as they hovered above the boys, wheezing softly with their newfound lungs. And released from many megapascals of undersea pressure, they defied gravity, floating in air. Well, this certainly got Oliver and Cornelius’s attention! They named their new companions Mefisto and Necrosis and are shown here having the time of their lives (This is them having fun. Really.) in front of one of their father’s numerous specimen bowls. Capt. Octavio’s beloved octopus companion has slithered in to proffer greetings to you as well. / This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2008.

A very good friend from Redbubble, Karen Millard came to visit me on my last day in Jersey. Being that she is from Guernsey, she was already familiar with the island. After a momentous meeting at the car park in St. Helier, we made our way to the village of Gorey, with it’s iconic scene of the castle behind a row of very colourful houses and shops. Mount Orgueil castle, or more popularly known as Gorey castle, was built sometime in the 13th century (c.1204) and was built as a defense against the French attacks. France is only about 15 miles away from the Jersey coastline. The castle was protected by the sea and cliffs on 3 sides, much like Grosnez, but was much more secure as the granite mount that it was built on made it impossible to undermine.It survived a number of attacks over the next 100-150 years, and a 7 year occupation by the French. It was the residence of the governor of Jersey, but was also desolate confinement to debtors and criminals, and the occasional suspected witch. However, with the introduction of gunpowder and the new gun-mounted ships, the castle was susceptible to attacks from sea and from the adjacent hillside. Sir Walter Raleigh, Governor of Jersey 1600-1603, rejected plans to tear down the old castle in order to recycle the stone for the new fortifications of Elizabeth Castle in St. Helier. He simply said ”’twere pity to cast it down”. It did remain the islands only prison until the end of the 17th century. The castle now is cared for and run by the Jersey Heritage Trust since 1994.

When a friend from Redbubble, Karen Millard came to visit me on my last day in Jersey, we spent an afternoon at Gorey, photographing the castle and the harbour in this small village. It was very difficult to take original shots with her following me around ( he he he, just kidding Karen), but I did enjoy trying out my HDR techniques. I took this lovely shot of an old boat enjoying a sunbathing moment as it waits for the tide to return to the harbour. I love the rustic feel of the harbour in Gorey. You can sense the history that this castle and village are steeped in.

I travelled across to Jersey to meet fellow Bubbler, Bradley Shawn Rabon, and we went down to Gorey to take some photos of the castle and the village. So here’s Shawn hanging over the sea wall to take this photo. I really don’t know how he stayed balanced with the big heavy lens he had on his camera! Canon EOS450D / ISO100 f/9 1/50 sec 30mm
