Holiday Tuscany part 2

Views from the panorama point in our village



























On our way to the village festival with cart racing that day. The village is divided in 2 areas which have their own coat of arms and the inhabitants battle it out in a cart race.
First races are the kids and afterwards the elder get their race on.
The APE-vehicles are used in this case to transport the racers back up the hill but in common life they're used for multi-purposes.

Holiday Tuscany part 1

Last weekend we've returned from our holiday in Tuscany where we stayed in a little village called Civitella Marittima.
I'm not gonna bore with all details and geography lessons so i'll skip right to the photos.
The camera was pretty pleased i was triggerhappy so out of the 200+ photos i've made a selection of about 90 but i will post them per 10 so it won't get too heavy on bandwidth.


This is on the top of the Gotthard Pass with our new car which would feel right at home in Italy :)





































































































































This was our view from our house in Civitella Marittima, a steep hill that took its toll on many pedestrians and vehicles.

Holiday

(random Tuscan photo, not mine)

Just wanted to let everyone know that me & the missus will be on holiday for the next 2.5 weeks starting this friday.
Destination will be Tuscany in a village 45 minutes south of Siena, really looking forward to it.
Loads of good italian food, sights, culture and in my case the odd trainingshoe or two ;)

Beginning of september we'll be back and i'll definitely post up some photos that will get snapped along the way and visits.
Take care,

Quincy

And you thought we wouldn't notice...

This link was shared on the CrookedTongues-forum by Rob L and it deals with plagiarism.

It isn't funny (to say the least) when it happens to an artist on whichever step of the ladder you're at.
Blatant copying someone's work and passing it off as your own is heresy if you ask me.

It happened to my work and i'm sure it happened/happens/will happen to a lot of other artists as well.
You can't stop these uncreative-brainless-nobodies but you can be alert to something like this happening. If you come across ripped-off work just try to report to the original artist as soon as possible so he/she can take further (legal) action.
You can also post your findings on the 'you thought we wouldn't notice'-blog as well.

Tattoo your t-shirt

Last friday i completed this t-shirt for a colleague of mine.

She asked me awhile ago if i could design a rose for her with certain personal elements in it.
When she showed the design to a tattoo-artist it got quickly rejected because the centre of the rose would melt together into one big black blob of ink over due time.

So, to not let this design die a lonely death i opted to make it into a t-shirt design for her on the very place it was intended to be inked on her body.
She liked it very much to say the least, judging from the pic.

Project 4000

Mate of mine started another blog with his mate and he wanted it to share it with me.
So i'm sharing it with you to let you know what's going down down under if you're interested in that kinda thing (no not down under as in underpants but Brisbane, Australia).

The Last Airbender

Well i was browsing though some trailers at the apple-site and came across this one.
M. Night Shyamalan is taking on Avatar: The Last Airbender (movie is based on the cartoon and he can't use Avatar because another movie is coming out with that same name) and from the looks of it now i like it.
But having watched the cartoon it could be a very funny movie more suitable for children and non-grown up adults like myself but the trailer is a more serious one.
So i don't know what to expect as long as it doesn't go the route of Dragonball but we'll see in Summer of 2010.
