Took a different approach for the photoshpcreative07 competition and decided to reverse the concept. Here a lone survivor condemned to a future of infinite chaos manages to escape back into a alternate past of infinite possibility. This could be a physical escape or projected from within the travellers mind; an internal escape to fantasy, much like the ending of Brazil. Have since sold the image for use on the cover of the Griffith Review – yay.

Portrait of William F. Buckley, Jr. – 1925 – February 26, 2008 / Oil on Linen, life-sized. (b/w photograph of original painting). / William F. Buckley, Jr. died today at 82. I painted a portrait of William F. Buckley, Jr from sittings, many years ago. The man was a phenomenal wit and intellect, used the English language exquisitely, and was a thoroughly charming and a towering human being. / I was in my twenties and had the cheek to write him and ask if I might paint his portrait. I said we were both questing for the truth. / His famous & phenomenal secretary, Frances Bronson, wrote back and said WFB asked three questions needing answers: / 1. Might he read during sittings. / 2. May he bring his cocker spaniel. / 3. How much will it cost…IF he likes it. / We worked out the particulars and he came to my studio in Greenwich Village, New York for sittings. / He was very famous, doing radio, tv and publishing his magazine The National Review. Buckley was a beacon of conservative thought causing trouble, uproar, and having an enormous amount of fun. The author of over fifty books. He ran for mayor of New York once, and (expecting the outcome in advance) when asked what he’d do first if elected, said, he’d “demand a recount!” He debated everyone with equal intensity and mischief, and had a fabulous time with sailing around the world, writing essays and books filled with his astute observations of American politics. When he turned 50, he decided to learn the harpsichord and ended up giving public performances. At the same half century mark he started writing fiction novels, spy stories reflecting some early work of his own. / He was reviled and adored in equal measure, not a bad outcome for a life fully lived. Meeting him and painting his portrait has always been one of the highlights of my life. Totally gracious, charming, eloquent, brilliant man. I miss him already. / Regrettably, this is only photo I have of the finished portrait, and it’s black and white. The full version included him sitting in his chair, lap full of papers, a pencil in hand pressed against his cheek, his portable typewriter at his side, cluttered busy desk, and an office filled with books stacked on the floor and every surface. Addendum: There are so many tributes now appearing about Willam F. Buckley’s life and wit, and this is typical, and so good, a comment made by Ronald Reagan in 1985: “Once when Bill was asked what job he wanted in the Administration of his friend the President, he replied in his typically retiring and deferential way: “Ventriloquist.” More on my website, The Hawks Perch

By Darren Stones With the New Year upon us, have you considered where you are going to purchase your ‘08 calendars? Before you go shopping, spare a moment or two. The courier has just delivered a new-release RedBubble calendar courtesy of James Pierce. Calendar contains pics from onetonshadow. My first impression of the calendar is that it’s a premium product and has plenty of weight – not some cheap and nasty looking thing. It’s an A3 size – in plain speak that measures; 11.7in x 16.5in or 297mm x 420mm. The cover page consists of a white matte paper which has a chunky feel to it (300gsm for the tech minded). Quite simply, it looks and feels good. From a marketing viewpoint, I believe it needs the artist’s name included on the cover page. Something for the RedBubble team to consider. The monthly calendar pages are made of (175gsm) white matte paper which has a clean fresh look. The numerals on each monthly page are not overly large, although they are easy to read. Being grey, they are more subtle than obvious and don’t distract from the artwork. There’s plenty of room to scrawl birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and due dates for your favourite debts. The title of each image and artist’s name is printed underneath the image on each of the calendar month pages. The artist’s RedBubble URL is also printed in the bottom right corner of each monthly page. So, there’s good exposure for those seeking world domination regarding sales. The binding is the white plastic-coated type and it allows for easy turning of each page. It seems a good choice for the product as the pages hang flat. Remember, 2008 is a leap year so there’s a smidgeon of extra value contained. Humpback Whale Calendar 2008 – for sale Reviewer’s note: My qualification for reviewing calendars; I’ve been on the planet for nearly 15,000 days.
William F. Buckley, Jr. / From the oil portrait by Barbara Sparhawk / Never expected to do this, but I’ve been flooded with requests for the past three days on my website, / The Hawks Perch / for t shirts with Mr Buckley’s portrait, so I decided to upload this. / Life is full of the improbable. I hope now there’s some follow through with sales!
A Brown Pelican flying right passed me at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens (not a place where one would expect to find them at all). If you view the large image, you should see that this fella has been banded in the passed). I watched him fishing for quite a while, sadly this morning he was not at the Gardens. / Click the image below to see him during take-off: /

Good morning beautiful bubblers everywhere! An insight into a conversation that took place recently… / My better half (mbh) “Do you want to go to the movies this weekend?” / Me, “Sure, can we watch Indiana Jones?” / Mbh, “No, if you watch Sex in The City with me then I’ll watch Indiana with you next weekend.” There end’eth the first lesson in relationship harmony… Compromise = Blackmail! So, off we went on Sunday afternoon… / Yes, Sunday afternoon when I should’ve been at the MCG expressing my purely hetro-sexual man-love for Chris Judd and the rest of the Carlton Football Club but no, Village Cinemas was the preferred destination. / Now, I shall not give away too much of the story… ummmm, plot…. but I soon discovered that my better half was in for an emotional roller coaster ride that only four women in a strangely scripted blockbuster can deliver. / Another reason why I agreed to this compromise was that I was also promised that there was going to be ample scenes of maiden beauties frolicking in their laciest… / Lies. / I found the movie slightly educational… there are apparently other labels in the world apart from Sony, Canon and Manfrotto! / ...and there is some other fellow in the world trying to rip off my name… Mr. Louis Vuitton, look out! / For the ladies, there are 81 costume changes, relationship highs and lows, references to sexual gymnastics, shoes, handbags and enough emotions to empty out a box of kleenex! Why you lot subject yourselves to such torture I still have no idea!! / Just to give my personal opinion on a related matter, we sat next a woman and her young daughter (10’ish) why you would bring a child to a movie like that??? To an adult most of what happens on the screen during this movie is quite normal but not for a childs eyes and ears. / Anyway I survived the 2.5 hours and even found some scenes quite humorous! / Rating… 3 / 5 / Looking forward to Indiana Jones next week!

/ A couple of months ago I was honoured to be contacted by the Griffith REVIEW which is a publication of topical essays, memoirs and reports by some of the best writers and artists Australia has to offer, which is put out by Griffith University 4 times a year in the form of a book They were enquiring whether they could use some of my art, the painting Baby Bull Production / to illustrate an essay in the upcoming edition “Essentially Creative”. The art appears, I’m proud to say, in the final essay “Visionaries, or the Cello of Katerina Valentine” by auther Helen Barnes-Bulley Helen is such a talented writer, she’s a Sydney University graduate, studied writing for performance at NIDA, had plays produced through the ABC and won an award through the Australian Writer’s Guild in ‘85, she also won the ABC National Award for Radio Drama in ‘89….whoa to be in such company is indeed a real honour Today after I received my very own 2 x copies of the book at a value of around AU$30 I was really taken aback….I hadn’t seen the publication before today, and just assumed it must just be a newspaper publication, but this is actually a beautiful soft cover book and the cover illustration is Mona Lisa by Ronald Wigman fellow bubbler / “Essentially Creative” edition 23 of Griffith REVIEW So take heart peoples and be encouraged won’t you, as both Ronald and I were found right here at red bubble
