This is a set of 4 wee beasties, each canvas is 10×10cm – little. I painted them for a group show opening tomorrow at Brunswick Street Gallery. A weird thing happened while I was painting this. I was looking at the blank canvases, thinking about how I was going to paint a brown wash across the bottom 3rd of them. Just then my rams’ skull randomly fell off the wall, knocked over my coffee cup which spilled a brown coffee wash over the bottom third of one of the canvases. After cleaning up the spill I picked it up and realised it was exactly what I had intended to do, but with paint! These enlargements are bigger than life size: One day when I’m rich I’m going to commission someone to make me a bathtub just like this.

The meaning of “Friends are Friends” pretty much speaks for its self, / You like your friends for who they are…...not what they look like or how they dress, just for there personalities and souls that happen to click with yours :o)

THE SUBJECT: / A very small developing fruiting body of the Cyptotrama aspratum (Gold Tuft) fungus found on a rotting dead branch and caught in the gorgeous natural light of a slightly overcast autumn afternoon sky. / About 1.5cm high. THE LOCATION: / Along a track in the Kattang Nature Reserve, Dunbogan, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Spike Jones #3 (Cryptotrama asprata)’: / Out on a fungi hunt with a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate, we were only 150 metres from the car park when we saw the beautiful glow of this fungus poking up from the leaf litter. / While most of the fungi we found were the blues we found three of these at different stages of development. / This photograph is brought to you after much pain and discomfort as I was bitten by a bull ant, my mate was bitten by a leech and we were both bitten by mosquitoes. The things we do…..! / Fuji S9600: RAW, Super macro, Manual settings of f/4.5 @ 1/10sec, Manual focus, ISO80, Tripod, Timer. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Fungi & Lichen collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fabulous fungi and likeable lichen. NOTE: / I lightened the image slightly and gave the saturation a little tweak for printing on Ilford Galerie Smooth Gloss Media and it did a marvellous job on the oranges/yellows. UPDATE: 19-05-09 / Little Spike has been featured in the Amateur Art Photography Group. UPDATE: 20-6-09 / My glowing golden Fungus was placed 2nd in challenge and has been Featured in the Fungilicious Group. Enjoy! FUNGI: KATTANG / (Click the links!)

The Thistle – The Flower of Scotland. The story goes the English were planning to attack a Scottish camp at night. They started to advance on the sleeping Scots but one of the Englishmen crawled into a Thistle and gave out a yell thus alerting the Scots to the coming attack. The Scots managed to gather their wits about them and fend of the attack. From that moment onwards the Thistle has been the national flower.

The Bird of Paradise is an extraordinary flower, both in its vibrant colors and its unique form. The sun was shining directly on this blossom in an otherwise shady alcove and I liked the natural spotlight effect it created.

/ “Spike” Milligan was born in Ahmednagar, India, on 16 April 1918 to an Irish-born officer in the British Army and his wife. Though he lived most of his life in England and served in the British Army, he was declared stateless in 1960, and took Irish citizenship. He suffered from bipolar disorder for most of his life, having at least ten mental breakdowns. He was a strident campaigner on environmental matters, particularly arguing against unnecessary noise. He served in the Royal Artillery in World War II in North Africa and also Italy, where he was hospitalized for shell shock. During most of the 1930s and early 1940s he performed as a jazz trumpeter but even then he did comedy sketches. After his hospitalisation he played guitar with a jazz/comedy group called The Bill Hall Trio, at first in concert parties for the troops and, after the war, for a short time on stage. While he was with the Central Pool of Artists (a group, in his own words, “of bomb-happy squaddies”) he began to write parodies of their mainstream plays, that displayed many of the key elements of what would become The Goon Show with Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine. Spike Milligan in his younger days / He was the primary author of The Goon Show scripts (though many were written jointly with Eric Sykes) as well as a star performer, and is considered the father of modern British comedy, having inspired countless writers and performers with his work on The Goon Show and his own Q series, including Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Writing a show a week affected his health greatly and caused him to have a series of nervous breakdowns. On one occasion, Peter Sellers had to lock his door against a knife-wielding Milligan; on another, Sellers and Harry Secombe broke into Milligan’s dressing room, fearing he was suicidal. Eventually lithium was found to be the most effective treatment. Milligan also wrote nonsense verse for children, the best of which is comparable with that of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, and (while depressed) serious poetry. He also wrote a very successful series of war memoirs, including Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall (1971) and Rommel? Gunner Who? A Confrontation in the Desert (1976) / The Prince of Wales was a noted fan, and Milligan caused a stir by calling him a “little grovelling bastard” on television in 1994. He later faxed the prince, saying “I suppose a knighthood is out of the question?”. A knighthood (honorary because of his Irish citizenship) was finally awarded in 2000. In a BBC poll in August 1999, Spike Milligan was voted the “funniest person of the last 1000 years”. He died from liver disease, at the age of 83, on February 27, 2002, at his home in Rye, East Sussex. I for one sadly miss him and I hope he would approve of this small tribute.
