How to draw a meteor shower.

How to draw a meteor shower?
Believe it or not. it's really easy.
All you do is draw the meteors using reverse tone. Black equals white and so on. Then simply scan your drawing and transform it into negative using a photographic enhancement programme.

The recent meteor showers have reached a dazzling peak. The Perseid Meteor Show. AKA the Tears of St. Lawrence, named due to the anniversary of his martyrdom AD 258.

I observed one last night, I think it was a meteor? It didn't look like a plane. It must have been a meteor because it disappeared along a trajectory. What with the Moon and local light pollution and cloud cover.

My drawings are based on some photographs I observed on the BBC NEWS website.

Paper bowl idea recycled.

Paper bowl idea. Made from recycled magazines.

I discovered this idea of how to make a bowl from old magazines or newspaper material from, Patricia Zapata on her BLOG: A LITTLE HUT

And...

Kathy Barbro and her BLOG: ART PROJECTS FOR KIDS

Well here's my version, photographed on white paper and a mirror.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Long Queues 4 Banksy Versus Bristol Museum.

The queue for Banksy Versus Bristol Museum is very long.

Here is a panoramic photograph taken from the opposite side of the street from the museum on Queens Road, 06/08/09. The exhibition continues until the end of August. I didn't visit the exhibition on the day I captured this image of the queue as it snakes up University Road. I went back the next day, 07/08/09 and queued for one and three quarter hours before it opened at 10 am. I was 14th in the queue, I met two lovely people, Andrew and Dave from Bristol. We talked about anything and everything to pass the time. I saw families who had brought their own fold-a-way chairs to sit on. Coach loads of people arrived. I wonder how pleased Banksy and Bristol must be about the success of the exhibition in terms of the body count?

I was impressed and delighted by the content and range of his work. I got some ace photos. There are some classics and some funny twists hidden around the museum and galleries. One of my favourites has to be the chicken nuggets. Happy queueing!
