I turned 52 today, so after 40 years of being known as “a pair of tits on legs” I figured it was about time I acknowledged them!

Ok, I was bored so I was drawing random things and I came upon a spork. I thought I could add this to a design and I did. o.0 My sister came up with the saying. :D Hopefully the “jab it with a spork” wasn’t used before, because neither I or my sister saw it. This is my secondish T-Shirt design and I made it on GIMP 2.6.

designed this t-shirt a while ago but was never happy with it, went back to the drawing board and had another crack at it and came up with this one, altered the colour of the union jack to go along with the theme.

You may think that this is more suited to Hallowe’en than to The Festive Season, but behold a cautionary tale: THIS is what follows if you overindulge in those chocolate offerings, stuff yourselves with ham and turkey, and drink until your kidneys are floating. You have been warned. I of course will be totally abstemious—Oh, look, there goes another flying pig!! (Mostly image manipulation in PSP6 with just a smidgin of fractal, and so I will not enter it into the usual Groups). Thanks to all who have recently commented upon, and favoured my work. It is aalways hugely appreciated.

What can I call my poem? My poorly stitched slacks / Now lie on the ground / Torn and legless My slovenly manufactured shirt / Has fallen off me / Like a cheap male stripper’s faux Navy uniform I am not cursed with good looks / I am blessed with ugliness / Which provides a good mask for my inner dullness I am on the dole / That is why I cannot afford a good Chardonnay I’m hungry / I ate my poem / But I’m still hugry This poem will not satisfy my stomach’s needs / Because it is cooked on cheap paper and sautéed with cheap ink They say cigarettes quench hunger / But I have eaten ten of them now / And I’m still hungry What can I call my poem?

A Black(ish) Day for RedBubble
by Dave PearsonSome of the comments in this this journal entry...
Some of the comments in this this journal entry really annoy the hell out of me. Why can’t people be reasonable when dealing with copyright violations? I joined up to Polyvore so I could a) send a firm but polite message to the person who had misused one of my images by including it in a derivative work (something my choice of licence doesn’t permit without express permission) and b) report the behaviour of that person to the owners of the site, again, in a firm but polite way. Even though I was initially annoyed I also realised that just blasting off at people wasn’t going to solve anything. Moreover, this sort of thing happens all the time. While it’s obvious that Polyvore is one of those sites that sails a little close to the wind in terms of ensuring their users respect copyright, and do so thanks to parts of the DCMA (which makes them no different from things like YouTube, Flickr, Photobucket, or any number of other sites that allow people to upload stuff, RedBubble included), that’s no reason to simply brand them as a site that promotes such an activity and is solely and explicitly about such an activity. Sadly, however, I get the impression that others haven’t been quite so reasonable (I get that impression from comments I’ve seen on RedBubble and also from one of the people behind the “offending” site, someone who I must say has been very polite in the face of quite a bit of abuse). Why? What good does abusing people do? Most people are totally ignorant of copyright issues (including, it seems, many people on here who got really annoyed). Many people think “if it’s on the net, I can have it” and do so with no ill-intent at all. Many people think “I’m not going to sell it so that’s okay”. Most people learn when told. I’ve found (no names, I’m not going to unleash the mob on people here) works on RedBubble that have done the same thing to other people and all it has taken is a polite message to the individual who created the infringing work to make them aware of what they’re doing. A polite request will probably result in action. If action isn’t taken you’ll generally find that being abusive won’t help anyway. Blaming the site won’t help. Starting petitions generally won’t help either (although it might help focus a baying mob and whip them up further). In no particular order, and with no particular direct point, here’s some things that some people might want to consider: Misunderstanding about copyright and licence issues can be turned into repeated “facts” very quickly. Check your facts. You need only read this thread from a while ago to see how easily people can mistake rumour for fact. Just because I’ve got copyright on my work it doesn’t mean I don’t permit certain uses. Please don’t try and speak for “everyone at RedBubble” because there’s a good chance you don’t speak for me. If you upload an image to a website there’s a good chance it will be copied and used elsewhere. Prepare yourself for this fact so that you don’t get annoyed or upset. No, that last point isn’t an excuse for people copying your images in an infringing way so please don’t go pointing out to me that it’s “still wrong”. I know what’s right and wrong here. Any site that allows uploading will, to some degree or another, find itself hosting works that violate someone’s rights under copyright. Even RedBubble are “guilty” of this. Are you going to start abusing the RedBubble staff now? No? Why not? Seriously, I’ve found works on RedBubble that infringe copyright in the exact same way images on Polyvore did. Are you feeling angry at the RedBubble staff now? Also, doesn’t anyone remember that RedBubble competition not so long back when it turned out that the winner had cheated? Are you angry at the RedBubble staff about that too? RedBubble needs that community manager sooner than later. ;-)

Angsty poetry #4: Hot steamy love baby
by BigFatRobotTequila, boot scootin’ and a balmy night in Arizona equals … Hot steamy love I saw you from a distance / You were wearing white …
Tequila, boot scootin’ and a balmy night in Arizona equals … Hot steamy love I saw you from a distance / You were wearing white and red / So I turned and wondered / Why can’t that lady be in my bed? And when I got closer / And I saw that you were actually a man / I thought – “Hey what the gosh darn heck, / I’m going do whatever I can.” So, I moseyed closer / And said whatever came to my mind / You said that you were a cattle rustler / It was then that I knew, baby, you had to be mine We danced the hokey pokey / Oh boy did we pash / We didn’t even care about our stubbles / Giving us both a nasty facial rash And when the party was over / And we were sharing our last cigarette / I realised I was in luurve baby / With a man that goes by name Yvette

Having visited the Shell wildlife photographer of the year exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London, I was inspired by Gary Steer’s wonderful highly commended image in the creative visions of nature section and this is / my attempt to capture something similar, but I am disappointed by the wet sand / colour which I hoped would show more of the golden colour of the setting sun

I wrote the following poem a wee while ago, and it was illustrated by, the then unknown, Nathan Jurevicius. I stupidly misplaced said illustration, and am now reduced to trawling through mouldy boxes stored in my parents’ shed. The poem is all about getting older and cheap Champagne – two subjects that I have substantial experience with. BTW, it is totally tongue in check, so don’t worry about moi, bubblers:) Bubbles The bubbles of my champagne / Are fading away / Just like the days of my youth Its taste is not so fresh on my palate / It is cheap and gaudy The strawberry is shriveled / Its seeds will never give birth to a tree / The same as my seed / Whose fruitful years are disappearing / Like the aforementioned bubbles My champagne is flat and warm / I live in a flat / But it is cold / And smells of gas / My champagne also smells of gas / It is not good champagne / I am not a wealthy man The bubbles are now gone / And so am I

For all those who have been jilted … The world is my oyster The world is my oyster, baby / But you ain’t no pearl / A rock maybe / A stone lady / Nothin’ like a diamond / Nothin’ like a pearl The world is my smorgasbord, baby / But you ain’t no oyster / A sausage roll maybe / A party pie lady / Nothin’ like a oyster / Nothin’ like a pearl The world is my art gallery, baby / But you ain’t no Leonardo da Vinci / A Leonardo Dicaprio maybe / A Ken Done lady / Nothin’ like Leonardo da Vinci / Nothin’ like a pearl The world is my cigar-bar, baby / But you ain’t no thigh-rolled Havana / An Escort maybe / Winnie Blues lady, / Nothin’ like thigh-rolled Havanas / Nothin’ like a pearl The world is my wine-bar, baby / But you ain’t no Dom Perignon / A West Coast Cooler maybe / A Passion Pop lady / Nothin’ like a Dom Pérignon / Nothin’ like a pearl The world is boudoir, baby / But you ain’t no Cleopatra / A Mother Theresa maybe / A Boutros Boutros Ghali lady / Nothin’ like a Cleopatra / Nothin’ like a pearl This poem could go on forever, feel free to add to it. For the grammar Nazis – my apologies for the double negatives and contractions peppered throughout the poem.
