Poison Ivy Nadya Sonkia by JonHughesWatch
©2011-2016 JonHughes
This is a piece I did as a gift and collaboration with my friend
Nadya appeared at the El Paso Comic Con as Poison Ivy and was happy to let me do this rendition of her.
Nadya is a beautiful woman, but also is a masteful costume creator, and her appearance brightens any show she is a part of. I'm happy to know her, and I'm glad she supports my work.

HOLY!! not only am i fan of poison ivy, but i actually have a signed copy of this that i bought at heroescon in 2012, it's been very delicately taken care of and i'm currently hunting a frame for it!
Thank you very much for supporting the work
Thank you for showing some love to Ivy, i feel Harley is getting far too much attention lately.
wonderful work !!!
she's great
It's amazing !!
It's really cool how the surrounding texture appeares like frost ad winter. I guess that could reflect the bitterness of poison ivy's inner character, but I the image of a frozen flower, or poison ivy, is beautiful. And your model looks like a flower and is beautiful. It's a wonderful piece. I wish I was better at expressing my opinion and feelings ^.^'
thank you. this was a portrait of a good friend, so I think that just knowing her helped make the work better. IT's been one of my most popular works since I posted it, and I'm glad
wow! lov the expression.
miam, ça y'est j'ai faim <3
Her expression is beautiful, but she seems to suffer a case of anti-gravity sphereboobs.
it's what happens to breasts when a woman wears a corset.
Maybe use reference material. Boobs do NOT become spherical due to corsets.
I did use reference material, but just to remind you I'm free to draw things as I will, and if you think that things in life only appear as you prefer them to, then that's your problem, but your critique is completely invalid.
wooo Sexy and beautiful
Absolutely beautiful! Especially loving the textures.
awesome work!
wow..... great job!!!!!
Me encanta! i love it! thank you so much! <3
Estoy tan contenta El placer es mío
I bought this print on saturday hoping to see Nadya but she never showed till sunday
Thanks for buying. Nadya actually was there on Saturday, but she was asked at the last minute to dress as the EP-Con girl from the posters and programs, so you might not have recognized her. Regardless, she looked amazing both days. Thanks again
Np. That sucks then I think I might not have even seen her on Saturday. I got to talk to her on Sunday so it was okay.
This looks awesome man! Well done!
I'm not sure why, but her eyes creep me the fuck out. It's like they're digging into my soul or something. Beautifully done though, she's gorgeous <3
I used the new "dig into your soul" function on my tablet. I didn't realize it was going to work so well. Glad you like it. Here I am posting a bunch of work, and you're out there dropping F-bombs. It's just like the good ole days
Jon looks life-like
epic piece my brother
epic piece my brother
Wow so amazing

Andrew Bird tested out new material last year, hinting at the making of a new record. He officially announced today the release of his new album, Are You Serious, which is out on April 1 via his new label Loma Vista Recordings. The album was produced by Tony Berg and features collaborations with Blake Mills and Fiona Apple. The album art was created by the great John Baldessari. Artwork and tracklist are below.
He premiered the first single "Capsized" on last night's episode of Conan. It's a bit more classic rock than his previous folky tracks, but still with his signature violin style, expertly mimicking bluesy electric guitar. Watch that, and the official lyric video, below.
As previously mentioned, Andrew is heading on a spring tour in support of his new album, including two NYC shows: April 7 at Kings Theatre and April 8 at Terminal 5. Tickets for both shows are still on sale via Ticketmaster. Andrew is donating $1 from every ticket to organizations working to end gun violence to build safer communities.
All tour dates are listed below...

Watkins Family Hour (Nickel Creek, Fiona Apple) expand tour, playing 3 nights at City Winery before Blake Mills show
Watkins Family Hour is the Americana collective featuring Sean & Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, plus Fiona Apple, Don Heffington, Sebastian Steinberg, Benmont Tench, Greg Leisz and other guests. We already knew they'd be performing Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisted in full during the free Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival on August 8 at Damrosch Park Bandshell, and since then a full tour has been announced.
The tour includes three other NYC shows happening July 28, 29 and 30 at City Winery. Tickets for night 1, night 2 and night 3 are on sale now. All dates are listed below.
In related news, the day after those shows, frequent Fiona Apple collaborator Blake Mills plays City Winery (7/31). That's an addition to his previously-announced tour which hits MHOW (7/30) a day earlier (tickets). Watkins Family Hour have the day off on 7/31 so it doesn't seem unlikely that Fiona will appear at Blake's show. Tickets for City Winery are on sale now.
Updated Blake dates are listed, with the Watkins Family Hour dates and a stream of their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Steal Your Heart Away," below...

Fiona & Blake @ LPR - 10/1/14
Frequent Fiona Apple collaborator/guitarist/opener Blake Mills is currently on a headlining tour that Fiona has been showing up at for a few songs a night. She joined him once again when the tour hit NYC last night (10/1) for its first of two shows here. Last night's was at Le Poisson Rouge and had Blake and his band -- which includes Bon Iver/The National collaborator Rob Moose, Stuart Johnson, Tyler Chester and Sebastian Steinberg -- playing off Blake's recently-released Heigh Ho album, plus some of his 2010 debut Break Mirrors and a couple covers too. Full setlist below. Rob Moose's group yMusic opened. Pictures of the show are in this post.
Blake & co. and yMusic do it again at Rough Trade NYC on October 8 (also sold out). More pictures from LPR below...

Fiona Apple w/ Blake Mills & band - 2 days ago (via tangoalphatango)
Fiona Apple frequent-collaborator/guitarist/opener Blake Mills is currently out on his own headlining tour in support of his latest solo album Heigh Ho (Fiona also sings on two tracks). A press release describes his band for the tour as, "Rob Moose on violin, Stuart Johnson on drums, Tyler Chester on keys and Sebastian Steinberg on bass, among other frequent Mills collaborators." And they weren't lying. Frequent Mills collaborator Fiona Apple has been performing at the gigs. It happened in Seattle, in Portland, and in Fiona and Blake's home state of California (in multiple cities).
The tour continues in St. Paul on Friday before hitting IL, MA, PA, DC and NYC for two sold out shows (at Le Poisson Rouge and Rough Trade). Will Fiona venture this far east? A "special guest" is confirmed for both nights.
Remaining tour dates are listed with some videos below...

Yesterday, Pitchfork posted their top 200 tracks of the decade so far, and today they've listed the top 100 albums to have come out between 2010-2014. There's some surprises on there. For example, I didn't expect to see Bon Iver's self-titled, their #1 album of 2011 and with a score of 9.5, rank as low as #27 on this list. I was also surprised to see Chief Keef make it but not, say, Shabazz Palaces or Schoolboy Q. And there's a few other glaring omissions: nothing by The National? Grizzly Bear? One thing that will surprise no one though, is their #1 pick.
You can check out the full list below...

Fiona Apple and Blake Mills brought their "Anything We Want" tour to NYC for two nights at Beacon Theatre this week -- Monday (10/21) and again last night (10/22). We caught night 2.
Apple's 2012 tour stopped in Terminal 5, which struck me at the time as an odd fit. That venue's sound system and acoustics are geared towards loud, pounding rhythms, which meant that Apple's more spare material was often overpowered by even relatively sparse percussion work. The Beacon, with its gentler acoustics and lighter touch on the mixing board, did her music a service.
Though Mills also opened and performed as a side musician for Apple on that tour, this jaunt changed the format -- instead of opening, Mills and Apple took the stage together and traded off songs throughout the set. I'm not wild about Mills's singing, but he's an excellent guitarist. The spiky rake rhythms and legato-heavy leads he added to Apple's tunes worked remarkably well, given the jazzy nature of the material, and he took a few borderline rock-god solo turns during his own songs. He also served as an emcee of sorts for the night -- whenever Apple's stage banter started to wander, he'd step in and move the set along.
Apple, for her part, seemed in good spirits and performed beautifully. (All this despite dressing like an old-school Charlotte Hornets fan out for a jog.) Her body language is often a little childlike, but it was especially so at this show; she'd shimmy her feet in place or hop up and down, like she was impatient for the next chord change. Her set drew from the breadth of her career, though her 2012 effort The Idler Wheel... received better representation than any of her other albums. Apple's band was also briefly joined by ?uestlove on drums for a blazing rendition of "Not About Love" from Extraordinary Machine, which established the set's emotional and aural high water mark.
We also covered this tour over at BV Chicago. In case you missed them, check out streams of new songs "I Want You To Love Me" and "Tipple" (both of which they performed last night), along with the setlist and a pic of Fiona and Questlove, below...

Fiona Apple on tour w/ Blake Mills, played Chicago, heckled in Portland, playing NYC this week (pics, setlist, new songs)

Fiona Apple at Chicago's Bank of America Theatre - 10/15/13
Fiona Apple has been on her "Anything We Want" tour with Blake Mills, which comes to NYC for shows at Beacon Theatre tonight (10/21) at Tuesday (10/22). Tickets for tonight's show are still available, but Tuesday's is sold out.
The tour recently hit Chicago's Bank of America Theatre (10/15) for a show which saw Fiona and Blake playing some new songs, a cover of Conway Twitty's "It's Only Make Believe," and songs from both of their own albums. Pictures and the setlist from that show are in this post. A review from the Chicago show is at BV Chicago. Streams of a couple of the new songs (from different tour stops) are below.
The tour also included a show at Portland's Newmark Theatre on October 3, which, as Stereogum points out, saw Fiona heckled by a woman in the crowd who yelled out "Fiona, get healthy! We want to see you in 10 years. I saw you 20 years ago and you were beautiful." Fiona then reportedly kicked her out of the show. Pitchfork then caught up with Fiona and asked her about the incident:
Pitchfork: The audience member in Portland who yelled out, "Get healthy, we want to see you in 10 years!"--is that someone who got in your way?Read the rest of the interview here. Check out more pictures and the setlist from the Chicago show, the new song streams, and the list of updated tour dates, below...
FA: Yeah, it was. She hurt my feelings. I don't think what I look like is relevant. And by the way, this whole "unhealthy" thing has me baffled. It's really confusing to me why anyone would have an opinion about that. And [the heckling] just takes you out of [the live performance]. People around me try to tell me that's not going to happen, but it always happens. It's really disappointing. I can't laugh--I'm an emotional person. And I'm just very sensitive about that. Many people are, not just women. The heckler said, "I saw you 20 years ago, and you were pretty." That's just rude, and I don't want her there anymore because it's my stage, you know? I got very angry. But I'm going to try and be more prepared for that. I'm assuming that people are going to start to say those kinds of things just to egg me on now. Those people are going to have to leave if they interrupt me. I need to be able to do my job.
Pitchfork: Your weight and appearance have been discussed throughout your career. Has it gotten easier to deal with?
FA: No. It's a sensitive subject because it's not something that should be talked about, because there is nothing wrong with me. I'm healthy and I shouldn't even have to say any of that. What makes me unhealthy and puts me in danger is that kind of scrutiny itself. It's the same as being bullied at school, and just because you're getting older, it doesn't mean that you aren't hurt by it. You could make anybody cry if you told them that they're ugly.
I don't even know what I'm being accused of. Do they think I'm on drugs? That I have a life-threatening illness? Do they think that I'm anorexic? At this point, emotionally, it doesn't get easier to hear those criticisms--but it gets easier to be resolute about my reaction to it. Which is just: "Go ahead and call me ugly, call me skinny, call me crazy and speculate as much as you want, but not at a show." I don't think that there's anything meltdown-y about that. I don't have any problem getting angry at someone who insults me in the middle of a show.

Fiona Apple says she didn't walk off stage in Tokyo; Dave Chappelle did in Hartford on Oddball tour due to unruly crowd
Fiona Apple @ Louis Vuitton party, Tokyo last week (via @mariaokowa)
You may have read reports on Friday (8/30) that Fiona Apple walked off stage in a huff during her performance at a Louis Viutton party in Tokyo (8/29) due to too-loud audience chatter. Most reports stemmed from a WWD story:
Apple instructed the audience to "shut the f--k up" and uttered other expletives, both audibly and under her breath, calling the event's attendees "rude." She continued with her set before shouting, "Predictable! Predictable fashion, what the f--k?" as she stormed off the stage. The show was punctuated with other bizarre moments, such as when she hit her head with her microphone, did a back bend over her piano bench and stared intensely at her guitarist as if in a love-struck trance.Apple has since offered up a few clarifications to what happened, which her soon-to-be-tourmate Blake Mills shared with Twitter:
it's fiona.The person who took the above instagram also commented on her photo, "it wasn't as dramatic as they mentioned but she threw a few curse words out there for sure!"
if it wouldn't be too much trouble,if you could tweet to the twits who call themselves journalists (example chris martins of Sit-and-Spin magazine) that I FINISHED MY SET,I did my job,and they should do theirs too--boy ,would I be grateful.
They all miss the fact that there is a difference between the back-of-the-room-chatter that is simply annoying,--and the Operatic Drunken Blather,or the heckling (which is really just INTERRUPTING) that makes it impossible for us to do our jobs.
I hope most readers are already hip to the fact that they are consistently lied to. In my eyes, these writers have compromised their credibility. they are fiction writers.
And, incidentally, whoever first interrupted Chappelle should have been ass-to-concrete before it grew into something that ruined the show for anyone else.
no apologies.
I understand if you don't wanna,though.
anyway,I love you,see you later...
Apple makes reference to Dave Chappelle, who also had some unruly audience trouble at the 8/29 Hartford, CT stop on the Funny or Die Oddball tour (which has gone mostly well). While there were reports calling it "another meltdown," the Oddball fest tweeted wrote "Hey Hartford! Pipe down and let Dave Chappelle do his thing!" Ebony writer Lesli-Ann Lewis was there and writes it wasn't his fault:
He had started with some Paula Deen jokes that went over well when he had to stop again. Maybe it was his gratuitous use of the N-word to a mostly White audience. Maybe it was the overpriced beer that, to my amazement, everyone seemed to keep buying. Whatever it was, there was a palpable change. The crowd got rowdier, louder, ruder. Folks started calling out random references to his past work (he informed us that if we ever see him in a Half Baked sequel, that means he's run completely out of money) and, most bizarrely, his 2006 Oprah interview.Chappelle apparently stayed on stage for most of his alloted time, though he spent some of it reading aloud from an audience member's book. The Oddball tour has rolled on without incident since then and will be in the NY area this weekend for two shows in New Jersey: Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ on September 6, and PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ on September 7. Tickets to both are still available.
After engaging some of the heckling politely, Chappelle had enough. "I've been up here a while now and I thought it was me but now I 'm sure it's you. There is definitely something wrong with you." he told us. In other words, 'shut up and let me perform.' Not many did. Finally, he gave up and took his cigarettes and his water and sat on stage. - [Ebony]

Tame Impala at Terminal 5 in February (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
We know these kinds of listicles get published all the time, and that everyone will always find ways to argue them, but this one is kind of interesting. Rolling Stone published their '50 Greatest Live Acts Right Now' list, where they asked a panel of writers, industry figures, and artists, "who rules the road in 2013?" It's got much of the stuff you'd think Rolling Stone would have on this kind of list (like insisting The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen are still better live than basically anyone else in 2013), but there's still some surprises, like the inclusion of Tame Impala amongst mainly rock/pop stars.
If you wanna see if you agree with Rolling Stone's assertions, you can catch some of the artists who made their list in NYC soon, like Tame Impala, Fiona Apple, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, and more.
Check out the full list below...

Fiona Apple at Terminal 5 in 2012 (more by Caroline Harrison)
Fiona Apple has announced that she'll embark on another tour this fall, which is being billed as "Anything We Want: An Evening with Fiona Apple and Blake Mills." Blake also opened and played in her band on Fiona's last tour, and we just caught him on stage with Dawes at the Newport Folk Festival.
Regarding the name of the tour, Fiona and Blake say, "We know it'll be something special, and we aren't being coy here -- it's just that we have about 26% of an idea of what the fuck we will be playing for you" and that "the uncertainty excites us." The tour comes to NYC for a show on October 22 at Beacon Theatre. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (8/2) at 11 AM with a presale starting Tuesday (7/30) at 10 AM.
Fiona also recently made a video for "Hot Knife" off her 2012 LP, The Idler Wheel.... The video was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, her ex-boyfriend and famous movie director (Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood, Magnolia). Check out that video, along with Fiona's list of fall tour dates, below.

The Village Voice's annual "Pazz n' Jop" critics poll is up and, as with anything like this with averaged votes, the winners are probably not that surprising. Frank Ocean's Channel Orange takes the top album slot (Kendrick Lamar is #2), and Carly Rae Jepsen's inescapable "Call Me Maybe" comes in at the top of the singles list. (Miguel, who is on the cover of the Voice this week, comes in at #2 with "Adorn.")You can also view individual ballots and read pithy quips about the year as a whole.
The top 10s for Pazz & Jop albums and singles are below and full lists are over at the Voice.

Today, we finally get the much anticipated list of Pitchfork's Top 20 Albums of 2012. They revealed Nos. 30-50 yesterday and spent the rest of this week posting Honorable Mentions and tracks. None of the albums that made the top 20 are surprising to see there (which doesn't mean they aren't deserving), but the surprises come from the albums that missed the list all together. Passion Pit got ROBBED! Twin Shadow too! And Wild Nothing! If you're looking for Converge or Baroness, you'll have to redirect yourself to Pitchfork's Metal list (though Pallbearer was in the main top 50). And we could've guessed that Nos. 1 and 2 would be Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar... but who took the No. 1 spot? Head below to find out and you can check out individual writer's votes too...

Pitchfork just posted their much anticipated list of the top 100 tracks of 2012. The #1 slot went to... Grimes! Whether you thought the whole of her album Visions was good or not, it was hard to deny the charms of "Oblivion." (Having that great video didn't hurt either.) Do you think it deserved to top the list? If not then what song should've?

Peter of HWGM @ Brooklyn Bowl, 9/18/2012 (more by Sarah Gainer)
Here We Go Magic's A Different Ship has made a few Best of 2012 lists, including ones from The Fly, Q, Johnny Beach of Bowery Presents and Freelance Whales. But what records did they like this year? Drummer Peter Hale submitted a list to us, with the following note:
Two confessions: I've ordered these very haphazardly, and I added my band's record as number one.Here We Go Magic only have one show on their schedule: January 17 at Le Poisson Rouge and tickets are on sale now. Meanwhile, HWGM started a Pledge Music campaign to fund a new live EP. There are some fun incentives, including having Peter cook for you or a private gig from the band.
I don't get asked to do this very often (maybe that's why), but I'm honored to do it and humbled (really) by the multitude of beautiful records. I'm probably wrong, but I imagine anyone who's ever worked as hard as he or she could on an album would agree that celebrating it is the best way to let it go; to release it not just to the public, but from those straps -- the emotions and toil -- that bind it so closely to our hearts. Like so many graduation days, this is letting go. What a great year!
You can check out their Pledge Music video below, alongside Peter's Top 11 of 2012.

Frank Ocean at Angel Orensanz Center, 9/24/2012 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
One of the saddest losses of 2012 for me was the NYC print edition of The Onion which I always looked forward to picking up on Wednesdays and browsing while on the subway or getting some food on the neighborhood. (I still have my copy of the "CHINA STRONG" issue, easily one of the funniest they've ever done.) I lament of it for the AV Club half as well, as I've long found it to be amongst the best pop culture criticism/journalism out there. While NYC can no longer get physical copies, you can still read it online where the AV Club has really flourished.
It's Year-End season there too and have just published their Top 25 LPs of 2012 list, which was tallied by a complicated system that led to a lot of ties, including three albums claiming the #18 spot. There was no doubt who was getting the top slot, though, as Frank Ocean's Channel Orange got the most votes by a wide margin. There's no stopping that album on year end polls. Elsewhere on the list, you'll find more than a few records that cater to the late-'30s indie rock fan crowd (The Walkmen, Bob Mould, Field Music) and even Rush's Clockwork of Angels. You can look at individual writers' ballots as well. Check out the whole list below.

The Grammy Nominations were just announced. At this point it should be no surprise that this year's list contains names like Jack White, The Black Keys, Gotye, Adele, Foster the People, Florence and the Machine, M.I.A. (she got nominated for a video), and "fun" alongside all the major pop stars. And I guess Bjork is a given in the "Alternative Music Album" category any time she comes out with an album (this is like her 12th or 13th nomination).
Mumford and Sons are naturally on there along with fellow rising pop folk band The Lumineers. Indie Grammy pioneers Arcade Fire also snuck in there again for "Best Song Written For Visual Media."
EDM is huger than ever so of course hot EDM artists like Skrillex, Deadmau5, Diplo, AVICII, Swedish House Mafia, and Steve Aoki are well represented. UPDATE: As is AL WALSER.
Classics and current stadium artists that were busy in 2012 all got their nods too: Paul McCartney, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z, Kanye West, etc. (though Bieber and Nicki Minaj got snubbed).
Most funny is probably the metal category which is as out of touch as ever with Anthrax competing against Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Marilyn Manson (what year is it again?).
Personally, real opinions of the Grammys overall, I'm excited to see Frank Ocean SIX TIMES, Miguel FIVE TIMES, Alabama Shakes THREE TIMES, and I'm glad they didn't forget about Fiona Apple who is up for "Best Alternative Music Album" against Bjork, Gotye (one of three nominations), M83, and Tom Waits (who has won in the past).
The Grammys air February 10, 2013 on CBS. Check out the full list of nominations, which also includes Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Hugh Masekela, Tenacious D, Jim Gaffigan, Jimmy Fallon, and Tegan and Sara, HERE.

More of the big 2012 year-end lists have been rolling in, with NPR and SPIN recently revealing theirs, and now Rolling Stone have unleashed theirs. Similarly to Uncut, the expected albums from older artists are there, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Dr. John, and the number one slot going to Bruuuuuuuuuuuce. It's got huge albums like Mumford and Sons, Taylor Swift, and fun., as well as the token high ranking indie album (Japandroids at #9), the token washed up band who was once classic (Green Day), things you knew you'd see on Rolling Stone's list like Jack White and Alabama Shakes, and... Grimes!
You can read the whole list below...
Japandroids at Pitchfork, July 2012 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
NPR Music have announced their "50 favorite" albums of 2012, which includes names like Pallbearer, Andy Stott, Cat Power, Fiona Apple, Death Grips, and Swans. (No Grimes, though.) The list is also deep with hip hop, with shouts to Homeboy Sandman, Kendrick Lamar, Killer Mike and many others. Much like Q magazine did, NPR opted to list them alphabetically instead of one better than the next. Check out the full list below.
Japandroids also made the list, and the band played the first of two shows at Webster Hall last night (12/4). The band continues their stay at the venue tonight and tickets are still available.

When "Parking" Meant "Making Space for Trees"
Once upon a time 'parking' on streets meant 'making land available for trees', as in a law passed by the US Congress on April 6, 1870 authorizing the city of Washington DC to set aside up to 50 percent of the width of a street for the creation of "parks for trees and walks". Senate debated whether to have "the parking on either side of the street and the roadway in the center" or to have the "parking" in the center of the street.[read more]

DC Population and Housing Trends Bode Well for US Central Cities
It's hard to believe now, but Washington, DC was a "shrinking city" for six of the last seven decades, having lost population every decade since the 1940s: Indeed, from a high of 802,178 in 1950, the city's population plummeted to 572,059 in 2000, a drop of 29 percent.[read more]

"This card looks great and the quality is very good. We were worried that the white might not show up on our photo, but it came out beautiful and vibrant. The signature matte printing is so professional looking. AWESOME CARD."
"Quality paper and much larger than expected. Beautiful color printing.. Added three images and they are all very crisp and clear. Love it all around. Such a deal for the quality!"
"This was an announcement for the birth of our second child. I chose the pearl finish and it exceeded what I had in mind when it arrived! I also ordered on a Tuesday and the prints were here by Friday!! Super fast delivery! I will recommend to everyone!"
"Card is gorgeous, can't be be beat for formatting, customization and price. I would have given 5 stars except there were a lot of issues with the website and I had to call in and have a customer service agent make the card for me blindly. It took a lot of time and patience that I didn't have, especially with a newborn, but the customer service was great and I have already reordered more. PS If you want the tiny prints logo removed at the back, just ask."
"Looks awesome. Only thing is you can't read the white letters. I could read them fine on my computer but when I received them it looked different. :( Not terrible. Overall a beautiful announcement. If you order just be sure your background isn't too light or the white letters will be hard to read."

EvE Ship - 3 Myriad by tigaerWatch
©2010-2016 tigaer
My final submission for the contest. Just added some last tweaks. Again roughly modeled in zbrush and overpainted with photoshop in the action view. Probably my fav from my submissions. Could fit best into the eve universe i think.
Awesome design!
Such a shame this didn't win or was on top 3. You've made some awesome concepts of what Caldari design base should have been! Hope CCP takes another look some time. = )
I added your corporation into my contacts tigaer!.....hope to see you flying it!
What program was used to make this? I need it sooo badly!
love the ship. love the smoke. fml
Shiny in every sense of the word.
This IS the future. Beautiful.
That is awesome.
awesome work
This is my favourite of your designs. It has a beautiful fishlike flow to it.
Very nice.. Just.. May I ask what does an industrial carrier do exactly? Launch dronefied Hulks? (Hulk is IIRC the biggest mining ship in the game)
well... i have no idea i guess it would have been a nice mining vessel or something that can carry quite a load of equipment.
hat off possibly won the the contest if not top 10
The action image is stunning, the design is fantastic.
Pretty !! Could be a nice carrier
Seeing this brings tears of joy to my eyes. Gorgeous. Excellent work!
Sieht klasse aus! Würde definitiv mein Vote kriegen!
beautiful ship man! really an example of how good mine could have been.
+ =
looking good! good luck
i agree with dan its definetly yacth worthy
I like the presentation of the ship. It actually looks like a yacht ad or something! Love the background, all together it seems very... alive.
wow!!! love the design of the ship and also the background is absolutely stunning!!!
wow this looks great what software did you use?
the rough ship model was done with zbrush and the picture is the overpainted ship done with photoshop. the background is a larger picture i'm working on right now. well... from time to time. not sure when it's done. just thought it would make a nice background. rendered with vue und postworked with photoshop too.
wow congrats how long did it take you to model/sculpt the ship ... you'r probably working in a big game company or something
i did not have had an exact plan in mind when i started to play around with it. actually i was just fooling around with newly learned things in zbrush. it's a great tool for people like me i guess. i'm a total fail when it comes to modelling in maya 3dsmax etc etc. zbrush makes the process feel more organic. even if it may not be intended for spacecraft modelling the ship itself, incl the postwork, took me surely 5-7hrs.
Pretty sure it's a battleship-class hull size and they haven't specified what they want to use it for - so just be aware of that.
I'm pretty sure that you just pwned everyone else who entered that comp. Awesome piece of art.
superr mate ! (thumbsup)
Looks incredibly bad-ass and still kind of realistic. I also think this one is the best.
And I love the unified style of your ships.
And I love the unified style of your ships.
EVE is such a cool game, I just don't have enough time to get anywhere!
cool ship btw
cool ship btw
I know the ship is the main idea, but I just had to say how excellent that city view in the background of the top image is
sehr sehr geiles Design
Awesome!! Good luck in the comp!!
Very cool design. Love the painted view!
omg this looks awesome
wow, verdammt schickes ding
Wow, good ship, good présentation!
Awesome !
sehr cool
wasn das für ne Stadt im Hintergrund?

Glusburn Primary School pupils, from left, Oliver Carter, Tyler Sykes, James Pickard, Forlan Edgar, Kameron Kapardia and Sam Johnstone, who are members of the Dangerous Writing Club for Boys
/ News
Writing is an adventure for a group of boys at Glusburn Primary School.
They're heading out of the classroom in search of exciting experiences worth putting pen to paper for.
The trips will give them fuel for thrilling stories and gripping non-fiction assignments.
Six students have joined the Dangerous Boys' Writing Club, set up by headteacher, Richard Hunt.
He plans to take them around the village, to a wooded area in the school grounds and to nearby Glusburn Wood.
Mr Hunt said: "It's to inspire and improve the children's writing and get them reading – they will 'live it' and see things."
The boys were each given a writing journal at the end of last term, and talked about the kind of writing they would like to do. They decided to write letters to their heroes, such as guitarist Slash from rock band Guns and Roses and racing driver Jenson Button.

So Benghazi finally claims another victim.
The knife sticking out of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's back was stuck there slowly by fellow pantsuiter, Sen. Diane Fienstein, (D-Kalf.) who chairs the Senate Intelligence committee for the gentleman's club also known as the United States Senate.
That knife means that Hillary is probably dead. At least as a presidential candidate.
Oh, yes, the New York Times won't give it up quite yet.
But for Hillary, it's o-v-e-r.
The Senate report on Benghazi released by Feinstein's office is largely a compendium of what you, I and everyone outside of the Obama administration already knows: Benghazi was a terror attack, as acknowledged from the very beginning, and was largely preventable.
The preventer should have been the Secretary of State. Obama and the White escape responsibility.
Seriously. They should too. They can't even build a website. The intelligence process is waaaay past them.
"The IC produced hundreds of analytic reports in the months preceding the September 11-12, 2012, attacks," says the Senate report, "providing strategic warning that militias and terrorist and affiliated groups had the capability and intent to strike U.S. and Western facilities and personnel in Libya."
A Defense Intelligence Agency analysis specifically mentioned Benghazi, while other reports also emphasized the deteriorating situation in "eastern" or "northeastern" Libya of which Benghazi is the major hub.
The report also found that the State Department should have increased security based on those reports.
"The State Department should have increased its security posture more significantly in Benghazi based on the deteriorating security situation on the ground and IC threat reporting on the prior attacks against Westerners in Benghazi including two incidents at the Temporary Mission Facility on April 6 and June 6, 2012."
It's all the State Department's fault.
And that's what difference it makes, Hillary.
The report reads like one of those scary movies where you know the bad guy is in the house and the ditzy chick in her underwear narrowly avoids going into the same room over and over with the bad guy, heightening the tension.
And you sit in your seat and shout: "Get out of the house!"
Only in this case the victims knew they were about to be sacrificed and couldn't get the State Department to do something.

On the plus side, you can put off the raking for another day.
That's the only positive take away from the Environment Canada forecast today. Rain is expected this morning and through most of the afternoon, with amounts around 10 millimetres. The skies should start to clear in the evening.
Today's high is 13 C; tonight's low is 5 C.
The forecast for Sunday and Monday looks great as September draws to a close. Mainly sunny skies are expected both days, with highs approaching 20 C.
It will be windy (30 km/h gusting to 50 km/h) on Sunday, though, so keep that in mind if you still have the itch to grab the rake out of the garage before the weekend ends.

Sarah DiGregorio's Top 10: No. 2 (2010)
Fatty 'Cue
It may not be a bargain, but there's no denying that Fatty 'Cue serves some of the most exciting, flavor-bombed food of the year. The restaurant's signature combination of American barbecue technique and Southeast Asian seasonings finds its apotheosis in the smoked duck with red curry dipping sauce. The bird goes blackened and craggy over the fire—like Napoleons of crisp skin, juicy fat, and dark meat—and is sensational dipped in the aromatic, coconut-enriched sauce.

Relaxation on the Bonny Banks of The Firth of Clyde
Abbots Brae Hotel • Dunoon, Argyllshire, United Kingdom
Escape Kit
- Two-Night Stay for Two People in a Garden Facing Room
- Daily Breakfast
- Welcome Chocolates in Room on Arrival
- Bottle of Wine if Dining in the Restaurant on First Night
Nestled on the bonny, bonny banks of the Firth of Clyde, the picturesque resort town of Dunoon has long been renowned as the home of the Cowal Highland Gathering—the other most important sporting event taking place this year. If you feel like a peaceful break, head to the breathtaking Abbots Brae Hotel.
Toss aside other pricey weekend breaks and pay just £95 for a two-night stay for two at this beautiful Argyll and Bute hotel including a garden facing en suite room, daily breakfast, and welcome chocolates in your room (up to a £194.95 value).
Surrounded by beautiful woodlands and coastline, this award-winning family-run hotel has won Traveller's Choice 2012 and boasts eight individually luxurious rooms. Each spacious garden-facing room is decorated with traditional furniture and comes with an en suite bathroom with Molton Brown toiletries, while views over the garden are often graced by roe deer and red squirrels.
The hotel's elegant dining room overlooks the Firth of Clyde and is the perfect setting for enjoying your daily breakfast or a home-cooked evening meal. All the food on offer is locally sourced with an ever-changing menu that often includes shellfish from Loch Fyne, beef from local farms, and home baked bread—you will even enjoy an inclusive bottle from the comprehensive wine list if you choose to dine in the restaurant on the first night.
During the day, you're just a stone's throw away from a wealth of fun activities and sights. The proximity of the River Clyde and Holy Loch mean that sailing, whale and seal-watching cruises, and fishing are all on offer while the local countryside offers plenty for walkers, cyclists, adrenaline junkies, and golfers.
Grab this Escape for your own Highland fling, before it's thrown further away than a Scottish hammer.

Following a yearlong battle, Carleton University has released information about a $15-million donation that created a graduate program. The Canadian Press had requested a copy of the donor agreement between the university and Calgary businessman Clayton Riddell, but the university cited invasion of privacy, third-party information and the school's economic interests in its refusal to share the agreement, The Canadian Press reports. The university released the document last week with Riddell's authorization. "I use the term 'no profound objection' purposefully as I know that you and the university will recognize the privacy issues involved here," Riddell wrote, adding that he is erring on the side of transparency for the sake of the program.

Breaststroke Technique Basics And A Few Simple Breaststroke Drillsby brmsd on August 20, 2011
Breaststroke is one of the least intimidating strokes to learn. Often, many beginning swimmers reflexively say Breaststroke is there favorite stroke for the simple reason it is possible to get from one end of the pool to the other without exerting very much energy.
Unfortunately, swimming breaststroke with speed is a quite a bit more challenging – and complicated. Like the other three strokes, swimming breaststroke well requires excellent coordination between your arms and legs. The general goal is to pull back with your arms at the same time you are drawing your feet towards your rear-end. Ideally, a strong breaststroker would then shoot his or her arms forward at the same time they execute the kick.

Banner Sunrise by collectiveoneWatch

Hi ladies- I have been lurking for a month or so and am learning all this couponing strategy and think I am getting pretty good at it.Ā I am a single mom and have been unemployed for a couple of months so I needed a little stress release at the mall today for not alot of cash-here is what I got!!
I went to JCPenney and did 2 transactions (I had 2 coupons for $10 off a ten dollars purchase and hit the clearance racks, 2 career shirts and 1 casual shirt, total savings-$87.43 Total cash spent-$4.85.Ā
Then Gavin (my son) and I headed over to Victoria Secret and made a Pink purchase of a pair of booty shorts (for jamas because I am too old to wear Pink across my butt in public!) to get the free body spray and used my free undies coupon, used a $13 dollar in-store credit I had-total savings 41.75, cash spent, $3.70.Ā
Not to leave out the baby, we headed to Kohls and got him 2 Carters rompers, a Polo onesie, and a jumping bean (Kohls brand) t-shirt. Used the $10 reward they mail out and a $5 store credit for a total saved $40.50, cash spent-$3.18.Ā
FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $181.41 in Merchandise for $11.73

After joining the WTO in 2001, China has entered into a number of trade agreements. Those currently in consideration are substantially larger than the initial ones. China, more than any other large economy, needs to attempt to enhance its export growth, which has turned negative in 2013. This column discusses some of China's trade agreements and summarizes the implemented negotiation strategy. The impact of these trade agreements on China's economic growth also deserves attention.
John Whalley, Chunding Li, 05 March 2014
Holger Breinlich, Alejandro Cuñat, 07 September 2013
Recent development of heterogeneous firm models in international trade were built on the observation that extensive margin effects are important in explaining the trade and productivity effects of trade liberalisation. This columns adds that if we want to use the current generation of heterogeneous firm models for the purpose of forecasting the effects of trade agreements, we need to allow not only for sources of within-industry but also within-firm productivity increases.
Simon Lester, 20 January 2013
Trade agreements have become 'deeper' over recent years, and there are initiatives in the pipeline to globalise deeper trade governance through mega-regional agreements (such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership). This column argues that trade agreements in general – and the WTO in particular – should focus on what they do best, reducing protectionist barriers. Broader issues such as intellectual property and regulatory expropriation should be left to governments to deal with on their own. Governments that handle these issues most effectively will be the winners in the new world of supply-chain trade.

• • •
The Texas Longhorns were the only team to remain under par through 36 holes Friday at the Big 12 Men's Championship.
The Longhorns, the No. 18 team in the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings, shot a 4-under 572, jumping out in front of No. 39 Texas Tech by five strokes at the Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity, Texas.
Longhorns Beau Hossler, Kramer Hickok and Toni Hakula are tied for second with a 3-under 141. All five of Texas' individuals are in the top 20.
The two Texas teams are in front by a large margin, with Iowa State and TCU sitting in third at 16 over and No. 15 Oklahoma rounding out the top five at 17 over. Oklahoma State, the No. 4 team in the country, is in sixth at 18 over.
Oklahoma State's No. 1 golfer and Golfweek's No. 7-ranked player Wyndham Clark struggled Friday, making bogey or worse on 12 of his 36 holes and finishing the day with an 8-over 80.

I can't tell about this particular model, but in general the options are:
1. The hardware is kaput.
2. There is some problem with the drivers (look in Device Manager) or a necessary helper program
3. You switched wireless off (the socalled 'airplane mode', because wireless should be turned of in airplanes). That's either a physical switch or some software, usually Fn + a function key
On most laptops, there's a small LED showing if wireless is on or off. Does yours have one? What does it show?
My Acer lap-top (Aspire One D270, OS Windows 7 Starter) has stopped connecting to our wi-fi after working fine for about the last 4 months. It can't locate any networks (though my smartphone picks up the connection fine). Any help hugely appreciated!!

Sounds like a waste of time?
It's official now; Olympus carries more panels than Home Depot.
How could the same board that were there during the coverup still be in charge?!!!!
Why is Takayama deciding the scope of the committee, surely the committee should do that?
At least it sounds like new information is coming out in the Q&A session.
So, after admitting that he is semi-incompetent, will he step down as president immediately? No?
No evidence of organized crime, however the committee could not make recommendations on criminal charges for the executives who have been selected to fall on their swords for the company---oops!--I meant found to have been directly involved (so far). Recommending criminal charges was beyond the scope/expertise of the committee, but checking for evidence of organized crime involvement was not. Yes, I see.
Mr. Takayama has stopless meant Mr Woodford was fully wrong, until he had to admit the terrible truth. Excuses afterward ? None, and he remained intending Mr Woodford was fired because of his bad attitude. Lately, the Englishman has seen his wages drastically cut because of his - once again - "bad attitude", the move being mainly signed "Takayama". Now, the "Investigation panel" has concluded nothing but that everything said from the day 1 by M. Woodford was all right. Excuses from Mr. Takayama ? None again, and again. He has justified once more the fact Mr Woodford was fired - although admitting from the tip of his lips the guy was right - because of his "selfish attitude". Who is selfish ? Who talks too much ? Who was wrong, day after day ? Who badmouthes others in their back ? Who was not able to find what was going wrong in front of his nose ?
That's why I support from the start the Englishman who was, in this story, the Robin Hood Olympus needed... Join the rebellion, here: http://www.olympusgrassroots.com/en/index.html

Knuckles are Rouge are tied for second-best in my book, but I love Shadow's gun, longcoat, and the expression on his face that still clearly reads "I couldn't give a fuck if you paid me in Chaos Crystals". For me, Shadow always wins. Always.
Very cool! The textures are really nice! Love Amy Rose best!

Birla Sun MIP plans mop up of Rs 400-500cr
July 11, 2002
MUMBAI: Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund is planning to mop up Rs 400-500 crore for its monthly income plan scheme this quarter. "The interest rates have stabilised and pure income funds would not be able to generate returns as they gave in the past and the schemes like MIPs having some exposure to equity are able to provide better return with safety cover," Birla Sun MF head (sales and distribution) Vikas Sachdeva said on Thursday. The companies with treasury operations and small and medium size enterprises seeking to improve earnings are interested in parking funds in MIPs, he added.
Fund beat
June 14, 2004
Rajiv Nagpal , TNN
High & dry They were the flavour just a few months back with every fund house launching them with much fanfare. But with markets in the doldrums, MIPs are getting the first taste of a bearish market. With equity assets declining in value, most mutual funds have skipped dividend payouts for their MIPs in the past month. When the markets were in a bull run, most MFs had increased their equity exposure. But with stocks crashing over 30-40% recently, the value of the equity component of MIPs have been eroded.
It may be time for you to dump monthly income plans and bet on equity-debt combo
October 22, 2013
Nikhil Walavalkar , ET Bureau
Monthly income plans (MIPs) of mutual funds have been poor performers in the past three years. They certainly didn't fulfill the promise of generating stable returns, marginally above debt funds. Conservative hybrid funds, as a category, including MIPs, have offered 5.73% and 6.37%, respectively, in the past one year and three years ended October 18. The numbers call for a decision: Is it time to get out of these schemes? "It is the time you sell your investments," says Feroze Azeez, director-investment products, Anand Rathi Private Wealth Management.
Matrix Partners, Avigo eye returns of over 2.5 times on their investments
November 5, 2014
Sneha Shah , ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Private equity funds Matrix Partners and Avigo Capital plan to sell a part of their stake in education services provider Maharana Infrastructure and Professional Services, or MIPS, through a Rs 300-crore public offer that values the company Rs 1,300 crore. The PE funds are seeking a return of more than 2.5 times on their investments made between 2011 and 2012, according to people familiar with the matter. "The company is looking at raising around Rs 300 crore. The PE investors will partly exit their stake in the IPO," an investment banker said on condition of anonymity.
Avigo Capital, Matrix Partners invest Rs 100-crore in Maharana Infrastructure and Professional Services
February 2, 2013
Biswarup Gooptu , ET Bureau
BANGALORE: Private equity firms Matrix Partners and Avigo Capital have jointly invested Rs 100 crore in Maharana Infrastructure and Professional Services (MIPS), the education service provider announced on Friday. The proceeds from the Series B round of funding will be used towards offering infrastructure services and facilities management services to educational institutes, according to a press statement released by the company. Set up in 2010, the company provides education services, including, curriculum support, student placements, marketing, human resources, consulting and infrastructure services to various education institutes, schools, colleges and universities in North India.
Why monthly income plans are best bet for conservative investors
December 20, 2011

Monthly income plans , or MIPs as they are popularly known, are in bad shape. According to Value Research, an independent mutual fund tracking agency, mutual funds in the hybrid-debt-oriented conservative category, under which most MIPs fall, delivered an average returns of 3.03% in the past year.
