Here we see part of the performance the flagthrowers of the group “Die Schwarzenberger Herolde” gave during the medieval festival/market in Waldkirch 2006. Location: Waldkirch, Germany
This is my brother Todd and a friend on the Bay Shores Beach many years ago.
The purity of sound, the bass rumbles from inside a pipe, coated in fire / encased power. SSinister Choppers, turn heads with styled torque, powerful lines, and the subtleness of thunder inside a building. Can you / handle the stares it takes to roll up on this. Its just a wagon. cannon5D / 28-105 / 1250 iso / no flash / -1 ex

Like a flamethrower in a fireworks factory…

I could hear him as he rushed by, that deep inhale of the cool fresh air. His powerful arms told of his life so far. After days and weeks of the smell that goes with the job, most people would have been heading the other way, but not him. He looked as if he couldn’t wait to get back to the game. The great game of throwing fish. I have to say, it’s most enjoyable to watch.
This is my tribute to Muntazer al-Zaidi. The legendary journalist who threw his shoe at George W Bush during his farewell visit to Iraq. Clearly it is based on Banksy’s “Flower Chucker” stencil which is based on a photo from the 1968 riots in Paris. I’ve tried to keep it faithful to both Banksy and Muntazer by illustrating his head as close as possible to the original press conference image, in the style of “Flower Thrower”. I also illustrated the shoe to fit his hand just nicely and added a bit of definition to the fingers. Love to know what you think. Good riddance George Dubbaya. Muntazer al-Zaid may be the thrower, but you certainly are the tosser. / / / / / / /

This is a bit of a tribute to two of my favorite artists. Both of whom have made it on t-shirts in their own way. If you don’t know Shepard Fairey and Banksy, look them up – you’re in for a treat. If you do – I hope get this image. I’m sure both of them are bemused at their own rise to fame. (or notoriety).... Special mention goes to spikerama and his shoe thrower design.

layers of colored rust, peeling rust, I thought made for a great abstract.
The Discobolus of Myron (“discus thrower” Greek Δισκοβόλος, “Diskobolos”) is a famous Roman marble copy of a lost Greek bronze original, the latter of which was completed towards the end of the Severe period, circa 460-450 BC. A discus thrower is depicted about to release his throw. The moment captured in the statue is an example of rhythmos, harmony and balance. Myron is often credited as being the first sculptor to master this style. Naturally, as always in Greek athletics, the Discobolus is completely nude. His pose is said to be unnatural to a human, and today considered a rather inefficient way to throw the discus. Also there is very little emotion shown in the discus thrower’s face. The other trademark of Myron depicted in this sculpture is how well the body is proportioned, the symmetria. The Diskobolus Palombara stands at 1.55 meters tall (5 feet, 1 inch). An explanation for his inefficient discus throwing could be that the ancient Olympic sportsmen had a set rotation of three quarters before the discus was thrown. This rotation could well have been a deliberate handicap to make the sport more difficult. The lack of symmetry in this sculpture is an example of the advancement of Classical sculpture from Archaic. The torso shows no muscular strain, however, even though the limbs are out flung. The above explanation is taken from Wikipedia, this version of the Discobolus, is not made of marble. I came across this one while on my journey up and around the Maritime Museum, Vancouver, BC
