OU has to resolve its secondary issues
NORMAN — There's no way around the fact that Oklahoma's secondary, and particularly its free safety, had major issues Saturday night against Baylor. But its coaches — as well as that safety, Javon Harris — are considering it an aberration relative to the rest of the season.
"We've played 10 games," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "You've seen some good and, in two games, you've seen some bad. We've played really well more than we haven't."
Statistically, Stoops is to some extent correct. Through those 10 games, the Sooners (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) are currently giving up 258.1 passing yards a game — 93rd in the country.
Take out the Baylor and Texas Tech games, in which OU surrendered a mind-boggling 931 passing yards, and the Sooners are giving up 206.25 passing yards a game. That would be 43rd in the FBS. That's not sterling, but it's not 93rd, either.
Reality is, you cannot remove those games from the schedule. They're a part of the fabric of a disappointing season that was initially labeled "BCS title or Bust."
The route has been reconfigured; 2011 is now about winning another conference title for the school.
To do that, though, the secondary issues have to be resolved. It might not be a huge factor against Iowa State this week, considering the Cyclones have a freshman quarterback and are 67th in the country in passing.
But then there's Oklahoma State, on Dec. 3 in Stillwater.
So, what's the deal? Why has this happened all season with Harris, in varying degrees — with the worst coming Saturday in Waco?
Harris' explanation is a pretty simple one. It's not an overcomplicated scheme confusing him. It's not even poor alignment. It's Harris doing one thing incorrectly that leads to big, big problems.
He has gotten caught, on a number of occasions, looking up at the quarterback from his field safety spot. When he does that, even for a split-second, he loses track of the receiver. By the time he realizes what he's done, he turns around to see the back of his man's jersey.
"You try to do too much and you get out of position," OU defensive coordinator Brent Venables said, "and they can really take advantage of you. They did."
It happened over and over against Baylor, which had four plays of 50 or more yards in the 45-38 victory. And it could have had more. Even the second play of the game was a 79-yard score, on Harris, that was called back because of a holding penalty.
Quite simply, Harris was his own worst enemy. He knew it then. He knows it now.
He described the sickening feeling of fruitlessly giving chase.
"The first thing you think is that you messed up," he said. "It hits you hard, knowing that big play after big play is happening. It's like someone just daggered you, real quick.
"Me, as a player, I took it hard. You know they're about to score a touchdown. It's detrimental to the team. It's hard."
Even for the positive things he's done this season, is Harris out of second chances? After mildly injuring his lower leg, he said he was healthy enough to come back in late against Baylor. But the coaches asked him to stay on the sideline.
It was reserve Sam Proctor, Harris' backup, who was beaten on the final touchdown, though Proctor was close by until the very last second.
Could Proctor, a senior, start on Senior Day against Iowa State? And what about Tony Jefferson, who had played the field safety until he was moved up into the rover spot?
"Oh, we'll see," Stoops said Tuesday, "but I'm not much on broadcasting any of that."
He later called Jefferson a "candidate" for safety, but said that could leave a void where Jefferson has been playing.
"Believe me, we're … I thought of that," Stoops said of moving Jefferson. "Sometimes you can rob Peter to pay Paul. There's a price to pay."
Venables said he's not much for making big changes, personnel or schematic, after one poor performance.
"I think human nature is to push the panic button," Venables said. "I've been doing this long enough. Things haven't been perfect for 13 years. We've had our share of obstacles to overcome. The one thing that's been consistent is exactly that, just staying consistent.
"Correct the mistakes. Be demanding. Get your players to stay focused. And not change the course."
Cornerback Demontre Hurst would like to see this group get mentally tougher, even if it's not making wholesale changes.
"It's not what we want on defense. It's not acceptable," he said. "We won't accept this. We have to get after these last two games."
And note this about Harris: He's accountable. He handled the criticism from coaches on the sideline. He tried to come back into the game after the leg injury, when some players might have sulked. And he came into the interview room after practice Monday and faced questions for nearly a half-hour.
Harris didn't get defensive, or excuse himself. He calmly explained his take on what went wrong and what has to change moving forward. One team captain and the secondary coach ducked the media Monday, but Harris didn't have a problem facing his failure, which was quite evident to everyone Saturday night.
"You don't sit here and make a bunch of excuses and you move on," Venables said. "You learn and grow from it.
"The right thing from a maturity standpoint is to face it and address it."

Court officials warn of bogus emailsJune 03,2014Court officials warn
of bogus emails
Authorities are warning the public to beware of email telling the recipient they have just received important information from the state court system that must be opened.
Court officials say several Windham County residents reported receiving email messages with the subject line, Notice of Appearance. The messages also state that an attached notice must be opened for more information and is signed, Truly yours, Susan Mason, clerk to the court.
These emails are not legitimate court notices, and the attachments are likely malware that will attempt to gather personal information stored on the users computer, court officials said in a release issued Monday. Please instruct anyone receiving such an email to not open the attachment, and to report the receipt of the email to their Internet Service Provider.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON For the first time, all the choral students of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory...

A Global Perspective for FCS: Sustaining Families, Natural Environments Social Capital
Nickols, Sharon Y., Turkki, Kaija, Pichler, Gertraud, Kirjavainen, Leena, Atiles, Jorge H., Firebaugh, Francille M., Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences
People around the world are increasingly interconnected through communications technology, commerce, and transportation systems-a process and state of being called "globalization." Critics of globalization point out that it leads to environmental degradation, out-sourcing of jobs and unemployment in industrialized countries, exploitation of workers in poor countries, and destruction of traditional cultural structures and values (Schrettle, Breiting, & Klein, 2009). Supporters of globalization contend that it contributes to economic growth, higher productivity and standards of living, access to useful new technology, and multicultural understanding (Schrettle et al., 2009). The consequences of globalization (positive and negative) influence the daily lives of families, consumers, and communities everywhere.
In response to the challenges and opportunities posed by globalization, the United Nations and other agencies have undertaken programs aimed at "sustainable development." Sustainable development is defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987). Linking needs and resources, ecologically sustainable development has been defined as "the way we use, conserve, and enhance the community's resources so that ecological processes, on which life depends, are maintained, and the total quality of life, now and in the future, is secured" (Commonwealth of Australia, 1992, cited in Lumley 2002, p. 3).
Family and consumer sciences (FCS), through our ecological heritage, was a forerunner for sustainability, before it was "discovered" by others. NoI en and Clawson (1992) provided one discussion of sustainability and the values of home economics. Sustainability has been present in the theories and practices of home economics throughout our history, but it has not always been made explicit in our global practice.
The focus of this article is to discuss the role of FCS in addressing issues of sustainable development through building social capital and empowering communities to address the challenges of change, some of which are related to globalization. The authors concur with Makela (2003) that "family and consumer sciences and its practice, education, and research are integral to sustainability" (p. 8). The profession can assume a position of global leadership if we continue to synthesize our expertise with the conceptualization, analysis, and intervention of other scholars and practitioners, as well as making our own unique contributions to education, research, and policy formation.
Our definition of social capital encompasses social networks and the norms of reciprocity and trustworthiness embedded in them, which enable people and institutions to advance their interests and benefit their communities by cooperating with others (adapted from Field, 2010; Putman, 2000; The World Bank, 1999). The definition of community is a group of individuals and families who are interdependent through participation in meeting human needs, have common interests, transmit culture and values from generation to generation, and (usually) live in proximity to one another (adapted from Etzioni, 2001; Lewis & Jay, 2000). It is generally assumed that the word community implies the common good. However, difficulties of achieving empowerment for women in community development prompted Guijt and Shah (1998) to caution that communities are neither homogeneous in composition and concerns, nor necessarily harmonious in their relationships. Furthermore, with increasing worldwide mobility, describing the boundaries (in terms of both proximity and sociocultural identity) of community poses conceptual and practical challenges (Maida, 2007). Despite these ambiguities, in today's world, community has acquired both local and global connotations.
The recent global economic recession has caused an enormous chain reaction affecting the developed economies of the United States and countries in Europe and Asia. …

For my free diaper from MMB I got a GroVia AIO (yay!)Ā GroVia is one of my favorite diapers - so trim, and darn cute fluff.
In any case, I've always bought several diapers together and prepped them together.Ā This time I only have one diaper to prep, and it seems ridiculous to monopolize my washer and dryer for five cycles for ONE little diaper.
Are there any other (safe) ways to prep?Ā Would hand washing a bunch of times work?Ā And if so, would I need to dry it in the dryer between washings, or could I get away with letting it air dry for a bit before hand washing again?Ā (We don't have a clothes line, so it would have to dry inside... I keep asking DH to put up a line outside, but he comes up with all kinds of excuses, ie "I'd have to dig a hole," "I'm not sure if our city allows clothes lines," and "You'll never use it, anyways."Ā Bah!)

I picked up a Blue CXC fame and fork for my cross build. Full Carbon fork. Bike has shortish headtube. TRP brakes.
Just got the bike together and took it for a test ride. Whenever I hit the front brakes hard, the front tire judders. The tips of the fork actually oscilate back and forth quickly.
I haven't investigated further other that grabbing the front brake while sitting on the bike and rocking it back and forth. There sure seems to be a fair amount of "whip" at the tips of the fork. It doesn't appear to be any play in the headset.
Any ideas??

His trademark line (which pretty much sums him up) is simply to yell "Stab stab stab!!" As a popular fan favorite among many, this character in the Acachalla Universe roleplay, Jimmy Casket as appeared or been referenced in other LPs as well. He, as well as Johnny Ghost, have Gerontophobia, the fear of old men, as each of them are scared of the Toilet Toucher.
Since Johnny Ghost's sudden disappearance, other characters hint and worry that Jimmy Casket shall return in his absence. These fears are becoming more concrete, as Johnny's sudden shifts into Casket mode are returning.
More recently Ghost hasn't been seen to change as much so it's possible that Casket is gone completely. But there are still rare,small displays of Casket's personality every now and then.
When Johnny Ghost found out about his dark side he tried to free Casket and make him a seperate person with Dippper Pines' lab equipment, the game crashed before we could see what happened so it is unknown if it worked. In Gmod GRAVITY FALLS DIPPER mod, it was revealed that the machine had in fact separated Ghost and Casket, only for Jimmy to go into a coma and Johnny to have blurred memories if the experience. When return to find out what happened, Johnny ghost inadvertently awakened Jimmy casket by activating the same machine the separated them.
Maxwell Acachalla
Jimmy appears to both know and be very close with Maxwell Acachalla. The reasoning for this is unclear, but they have teamed up with each other. While they haven't actually had a conversation with one another, we are aware of them being close or at least tolerating one another long enough to stalk fellow victims. This alliance was short lived however, when (a possibly unbeknownst) Jimmy kills Maxwell whist he posses Billy. Maxwell was shown to have taken this personally as he personally kills Casket a few episodes later.
Johnny Ghost/Gregory/Jackson
Jimmy Casket, Gregory.Gregory, Jackson, and Johnny Ghost are all the same person. This is due to exposure to Box Friend. Gregory is immortal, and has lived through multiple personalities. First he was Gregory, who, when driven mad by Box Friend, turned into Jimmy Casket. Jimmy Casket lasted the longest out of Gregory's many personalities. Though it appears Johnny Ghost has at this point dominated Gregory's mind by unknown means.No one is sure how Jackson fits in but in the the Joker Babysits video he turned into Jimmy Casket and killed the Joker.
Out of the four personalities, Jimmy seems to retain traits from Johnny, Gregory,and Jackson. As he deals with supernatural beings regularly like Ghost,cannot read like Gregory,and has a voice similar to Jackson's.
Though he hasn't appeared that often in a while, Jimmy Casket has not been fully repressed and still causes Johnny mental issues. Surprisingly Johnny Ghost sees Jimmy Casket as balloon boy.
Jimmy interacts with Sally very few times (so far). The first time when she asks him if he has waffles and he says he does. He tells her to get into his van, but is interrupted. A little later, he tells Sally he will never give her waffles and, in a fit of rage, Sally kills him. Sally may be the only other character capable of scaring Jimmy Casket, as both can be murderous, but it's more random with Sally. The possible second time is during hide-and-seek, when Sally is in the attic, Jimmy is trying to get her and she's crying for her life. Sally is much more scared of him now, when she isn't crazy and has nothing to defend herself with. A third encounter is when Jimmy is murdering them all as dinosaurs. No direct interaction other than him killing her with the very stare of his eyes. The fourth time is when he killed Toilet Toucher and asked her how she and Slenderman are doing.It was also revealed he killed ALL of her family, except for Sally Betty Jessica, and her uncle, Uncle Charlie, who came back from the dead. Later in the video he kills Uncle Charlie. Sally occasionally lives in the mental institute Jimmy runs.
Johnny Toast
While an interaction between these two characters has not been seen, it has been shown that Toast is at least somewhat aware of Jimmy caskets presence within ghosts mind. Johnny toast goes great lengths avoiding discussion about casket. Refusing to ponder the possibility caskets return even within his mind. When Johnny ghost seemed to be having a casket moment, toast quickly suggested that ghost take his pills. Whether Johnny toast knows of Jimmy though a personal account or was merely warned about his partners split personality is unknown.
Though they don't interact, it seems that Jimmy is able to somehow get into Vahl's mind. Killing several people (luckily they were bad guys and not innocent civilians) while being possessed by the goon, there is no telling how much he can control her actions. Luckily Vahl has been Jimmy free as of now. Jimmy seems the equivalent to a puppet-master in this aspect.
Cywren Caster
Jimmy seems to have the same control over Cywren as he did Vahl, but she hasn't had an episode of Casket taking control for a long time.
Jeff the Killer
When Jeff went to the teacher the teacher soon was possessed by Jimmy casket and said "Wanna know my secret?" This immediately scared Jeff into leaving the class room, showing that Jimmy is more terrifying than even Jeff himself. Then Isaac said Jimmy Casket should be a part of Creepypasta. Jeff does go to the college run by Johnny Ghost, he never thought Johnny Ghost was also Jimmy Casket.
Toilet Toucher
The Toilet Toucher appears to be Jimmy Casket's mortal enemy as well as someone he fears. In Gmod EEVEE POKEMON Playermodels! he is more intent on killing the Toilet Toucher than any other person he's met. He seems to fear being locked in a bathroom alone due to Toilet Toucher's teleporting abilities with toilets.
When bring victims to a bathroom to be killed by the toilet toucher, Jimmy was surprised to see them come out alive and happy. Only for Jimmy to be murdered when he mimic their actions. With Sally theorizing that the toilet toucher only had a specific grudge against Jimmy at the time.
Tommy Casket
Tommy Casket is Jimmy Casket's father from his days as Gregory. The only thing Jimmy might have inherited from his father was a gold watch that was supposedly caskets grandfathers, either way it meant little to him as heisted only to lure a victim.
Katrina was an old friend of Johnny Ghost and a possible former love interest,she may be the mother of Billy and Yakface. Jimmy could be responsible for her death,the only other suspect being Cardboard Friend.
Johnny Roast
Johnny Roast was a founding member of PIE who died during an investigation.Jimmy may have been responsible for his death,with the only other suspect being Cardboard Friend
Johnny Boast
Johnny Boast was a founding member of PIE who died during an investigation.Jimmy may have been responsible for his death,with the only other suspect being Box Friend
Dark Pit
Dark Pit was a founding member of PIE who disappeared during an investigation,the two main possibilities for what happened to him are that he was killed by Jimmy or Cardboard Friend and his body was never found,or a ghost spirited him away.
Princeton Quagmire
Princeton Quagmire has never met Casket, but he once turned into him out of nowhere and shot someone.Jimmy was recently confirmed by Venturian in the Dipper rag doll video to be Johnny Ghost's dark side and not a demon possessing him, meaning Quagmire might be another personality of Ghost/Casket/Gregory/Jackson.
John Smigglebug
While not confirmed, many fans believe John Smigglebug might be a personality Ghost/Casket/Gregory/Jackson, meaning Casket would be Billy and Yakface's father.
Fred Spooker
Jimmy once killed Spooker after he annoyed Johnny Ghost.
Donald Donnie
Jimmy killed Donald after he annoyed Johnny Ghost.
William Barricade
Is is unknown if William knows about Jimmy, but it is assumed he does because he is a founding member of PIE.
Jimmy Casket's main weapon is his bloody knife, which he uses to murder people. Though, he is still very creepy even when he doesn't have a knife to fight with. He is also shown to have some skill with a gun, as he has used it to kill off fellow murderers. He has been shown to kill whoever he wants, with whatever he has. He is also able to use guns to kill dinosaurs, which is only revealed in the Dinosaur Playermodel video. Jimmy Casket sometimes uses other people's fear as his weapon. He can also use a strange blade which says "Stab stab stab!" on it's own.but if you were to face him in combat its either you kill him or get killed.The talking blade itself has been made into a downloadable weapon in the Steam Worshop, and Venturian has used it on multiple occasions. Primary fire causes it to say "Stab stab stab!", secondary fire causes it to say "Hey, you wanna know my secret?".

- It is assumed Jimmy lives in the insane asylum Johnny Ghost ventured through although not confirmed.
- Jimmy Casket is probably the creepiest of the characters, Sally coming in second as she has never scared a Creepypasta member as Jimmy has.
- Jimmy Casket is so scary he has easily terrified paranormal investigator Johnny Ghost, his own alter ego. He therefore terrified his more sane self.
- Jimmy is not limited to gmod, as he has temporally possessed Vahl several times. Although not long enough to attack someone who wasn't an enemy.
- It is possible that Jimmy may have known Johnny Ghost prior to becoming a killer, as Johnny seemed to know about him. It was later revealed that they are one and the same.
- Johnny Ghost IS Jimmy Casket, though Johnny was unaware of it. He now is aware of it and in one of the Creepypasta videos even tried to stop himself from changing into Jimmy Casket after he was stabbed, although he did eventually change. However, in the Batman Horror map, when Billy said, "Jimmy Casket's gonna break out." after Johnny showed signs of becoming Jimmy again, he replied with, "Who's Jimmy Casket?" This is because Jimmy decided to erase his alter-egos' memory of being him from his subconscious, after realizing that Johnny may become a problem after Johnny resisted turning into him in the Creepypasta video.
- He is so creepy, even the infamous Jeff the Killer is intimidated by him.
- Though Gertrude asks Papa if Johnny's transformations are like Papa's, he didn't confirm it.
- Johnny became Jimmy when the Acachalla family refused to pay and threatened him. It could be assumed he transforms whenever someone displeases him/threatens him, or when he gets stressed out.
- The extent of his powers is unknown, and he is clearly immortal. He shrugs off getting killed and plots revenge.
- Jimmy and Sally may in fact be related.
- Jimmy/Johnny may be Billy's true father.

- He knows about Sally's relationship with Slenderman. Most likely because Slendy went to his school.
- He fears the Toilet Toucher. It is unknown why.
- He is probaly a unusophobic, afraid of turning into/being someone different. It's unknown if he knows he has the problem, or if he has it at all.
- He apparently has a cousin named Jeremy, this is may be referring to Jeremy Acachalla or Jeremy from the Midas Cannon mod video. (MINECRAFT Murder 6)
- He also calls his knife, "Knifey".
- His theme song is Lizz's cover of Hide and Seek

PATRIOT is a custom built yacht that will please the most experienced world fisherman, the ultimate day cruiser yachtsman or an owner that enjoys a true family cruiser, built to the highest of standards. PATRIOT'S owner has spent well over the asking price in securing her as a custom built "one off" yacht.
PATRIOT was completely gutted down to the bare hull and frames. Her house and flybridge were removed and redesigned. Every piece of equipment and machinery was replaced during her reconstruction between 2005-2007. The engine room is completely new, including her electronic MTU engine package, Kilopak gensets and A/Sea convertors.
The interior woodwork is custom built including the custom ordered windows for the house and enclosed flybridge. The concept of "transforming" spaces such as the galley, helm stations, stabilizers, anchor space and fishing areas is "state-of-the-art" technology.
The design and building efforts in creating a sound proof hull is unmatched in most yachts. Every moving part has some sort of sound dampening, including floating soles, extra sound decking and rubber insulators in all areas of the yacht on the lower decks.
The "gyro zero speed stabilization" and "trim tab" technology allows PATRIOT to adjust to most sea conditions, whether you are fishing or just cruising with family and friends.
PATRIOT is a must see......

Talking Ghosts and Ideas
Cunningham, Benjamin, The New Presence: The Prague Journal of Central European Affairs
On 29 September 2009, The New York Times ran a story headlined "Europe's Socialists Suffering Even in Downturn." The first line of the story read, "A specter is haunting Europe--the specter of Socialism's slow collapse." The purported reason for running such a story at that time was the German federal election two days earlier, which saw Angela Merkel return as chancellor and her party's main rival, the Social Democrats (SPD), receive only 23.5 percent of the seats in the Bundestag--its lowest total ever.
And while it is undoubtedly true that Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his SPD were trounced by Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU-CSU), the thesis laid out by The Times is decidedly less so.
The very same day as the German elections, Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates and his Socialist Party (SP) won elections with 37 percent of the vote. The second place finisher were the Social Democrats (SPD) with 29 percent of the vote (for those scoring at home, a total of 56 percent). On 4 October, in Greece the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) won elections with 44 percent of the vote, bringing Prime Minister George Papandreou to power. The third place finisher in those elections was the main Communist Party (there are, believe it not, four other communist parties that received votes).
Just two weeks before the German election, on 14 September, the Norwegian Labour Party led by Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg won the election (35.4 percent), returning him to power. Then of course there are the socialist or social democratic parties heading governments in the United Kingdom, Austria, Spain, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Cyprus (a communist), and the plurality they hold in Sweden's parliament. Not to mention the European Union itself which while touting itself as a trading bloc, spends half its annual budget on farm subsidies.
Social democrats and socialists--and the left in general--and their core philosophies have managed to stay remarkably popular considering their relative lack of policy creativity and adaptability in recent years when compared to rivals on the right. The recent popular narrative on the decline of the European left is largely based on the German election results, personality conflicts and disorganization of socialists in France, and the complete marginalization of Italy's progressives through undemocratic right-wing demagoguery. In reality, the core ideas of socialism and the left are as popular as ever, but what is lacking is the ability to generate enthusiasm among voters and create the belief that a better society more able to meet the needs of everybody is possible. One need look no further than the Czech Republic's Social Democrats (ESSD) led by Jioi Paroubek for an example of a party failing to convey any hopeful ideals.
In recent years Europe's center-right has appropriated ideas from the left and made them their own, especially issues outside the realm of economics (green policies, human rights, national health care). In allowing the center-right to claim policy initiatives of the left as their own, socialists and social democrats have lost some of the key means of differentiating themselves and more importantly sacrificed ways of generating enthusiasm and faith in a better world among voters. At the same time they have failed to be innovative in adapting their philosophical emphasis on social and economic justice to globalization. State control of industry, for example, is a regressive idea holding little attraction for potential voters, but the idea of creating an equitable, consistent and stable working environment is not. By clinging to policy prescriptions of the mid-twentieth century as a means of expressing their ideology, Europe's left has found itself in the strange position of urging a return to policies of the past. In other words, the progressives have made themselves conservatives. …

Framed Art Print
The King's Lost Knightby Caitlin Hackett
Choose from a variety of frame styles, colors and sizes to compliment your favorite Society6 gallery, or fine art print - made ready to hang. Fine-crafted from solid woods, premium shatterproof acrylic protects the face of the art print, while an acid free dust cover on the back provides a custom finish. All framed art prints include wall hanging hardware.
a chess themed piece, 18" by 24", ballpoint pen on paper, for a show opening this February at Thinkspace. Eventually I'd like to have a pair of these pieces, a black knight and a white knight, but for now there's just the one until I finish some other projects.
✩✩✩✩✩ Fantastic Work ✩✩✩✩✩
This is very beautiful.
amazing work xo
Wow! stunning detail!
thanks everyone!
Amazing work!
stunning !
Amazing work!
So awesome, amazing. Your best.
This is really magical. I love the eye and the feather.
That's it! I am ordering a print! It's so compelling. I think you will have great luck with this image.
Amazing! I want it as a pillow! hah!
haha I may make it into a pillow yet, we'll see, it's definitely going to be a shirt one day.
Thanks Rachel!
Thanks Rachel!
Beautiful! I must say as in every artist's work you can see the similarities in all their drawings and pieces such as style and technique. But what I notice in every piece the artist does is that they learn more than the last piece they did and start to come up with new ideas to expand on. You can tell that in their art work. Like how much they grown through the years and their similarities and differences between each piece.
oh my, that eye; right in the hurts.
Really magical Caitlin ;-)
so nice work!
Jesus, you're insane.
haha probably, I'm working on a 7ft by 5ft piece all in ballpoint that I think will be black and white, now that is really insane! it will be done someday, although my fingers may have fallen off by then
Exactly. I was amazed when I saw a shot of you at work in your studio. I think the piece with the two-headed wolf was up in the background as well. I was like "whoooaaa f*****ck!". I did a 140x100 cm piece about a year ago, it took forever to complete. (I don't work with inches and stuff, sorry about using centimeters :) ).
Caitlin, your creative insanity inspires me. :)
***f a n t a s t i c o***
