GOOD, BAD, UGLY...






My pal Sean Szeles inspired me with the studies he posted on his blog from the movie "Once Upon A Time In The West" I chose to study from the only Sergio Leone movie I own on DVD.."The Good The Bad And The Ugly" When I intially started to draw from this film I planned on just doing caricatures of all the great faces in the movie. I quickly discovered that the actors were already pretty much caricatures themselves which actually made it more not less difficult for me to exaggerate their features. So besides the great faces the things I admire most about this film are the contrasts between cuts: 'Extreme wide shot directly to extreme close up' and the compositions: 'Background and foreground elements leading your eye to the subject' and 'framing the subject'. I tried to capture some of these techniques in my studies while still slightly caricaturing the actors faces. It's pretty tough going so far, but hopefully by the time I get to the end of the film the studies will improve. If anyone has any suggestions please don't hesitate to share.

Thanks-
Fred

Moving is not only stressful, but it can also wreak havoc on your bank account! But there are many ways that you can save money when you move, even if you hire a moving company rather than trying to do the moving yourself. Hiring a cheap moving company can greatly impact your moving costs.

Seeing that he was awake, Madam Pom¬frey came bustling over with a breakfast tray and then began bend¬ing and stretching his arm and fingers.
“All in order,” she said as he clumsily fed himself porridge left-handed. “When you’ve finished eating, you may leave.”
Harry dressed as quickly as he could and hurried off to Gryf¬findor Tower, desperate to tell Ron and Hermione about Colin and Dobby, but they weren’t there. Harry left to look for them, wondering where they could have got to and feeling slightly hurt that they weren’t interested in whether he had his bones back or not.
As Harry passed the library, Percy Weasley strolled out of it, looking in far better spirits than last time they’d met.
“Oh, hello, Harry,” he said. “Excellent flying yesterday, really ex¬cellent. Gryffindor has just taken the lead for the House Cup — you earned fifty points!”
“You haven’t seen Ron or Hermione, have you?” said Harry.
“No, I haven’t,” said Percy, his smile fading. “I hope Ron’s not in another girls’ toilet. …”

For many classical philosophers, nature was understood teleologically, meaning that every type of thing had a definitive purpose which fit within a natural order that was itself understood to have aims

But teleological accounts such as Aristotle's were highly influential for those who attempt to explain reason in a way which is consistent with monotheism and the immortality and divinity of the human soul.

Originally developed for welding aluminum and other non-ferrous materials in the 1940s, GMAW was soon applied to steels because it allowed for lower welding time compared to other welding processes

Today, GMAW is the most common industrial welding process, preferred for its versatility, speed and the relative ease of adapting the process to robotic automation

But it was not until the 1880s that the technology became developed with the aim of industrial usage. At first, the practical method of carbon arc welding invented by Nikolay Benardos was used, utilising carbon electrodes known from the time of Davy and Petrov. By the late 1880s, metal electrodes had been invented by Nikolay Slavyanov (1888) and C. L. Coffin (1890).

Tolstoy once called boredom "The desire for desires". It may be an acute, desperate sense of wanting something, anything to think about, or it may be a chronic feeling of ennui that threads throughout your day-to-day, forcing you to subconsciously fill up the empty spaces in your time with unfulfilling drudgery. If either scenario rings true, you my friend, need a hobby.

"Why do you care so much?"

"Because you're a robot, Audrey. You do everything you're told, you never break the rules. You never have fun."

"I'm not a robot," I told him, almost offended. "And I have fun. Just not the kind of fun that burnouts like you have."

He laughed then. "And what kind of fun do you think burn-outs like me have?"

I shook my head. "Just shut up, I'm done talking about this."

Without opening my eyes, I felt around and pressed every button on the stupid watch that I could feel. It wouldn’t shut off. I opened my eyes and again searched for the snooze or off button. It wouldn’t shut up! I felt my blood boiling and started ripping at the watch with frustration. It wouldn’t come off either! "UGH! Shut the hell up!" I yelled at the stupid thing. "Azorah! Calm down!" I looked up and saw Amelia in front of me. "Go outside and it’ll go off," she said.

Keeping the benefits of taking a parenting class apart, as a human, you understand that parenting is not a cakewalk. You can also easily admit that any kind of help is always good. The presence of such interactive platforms is the sign of a healthy society. After all, we do know that life never gives us a second chance. Parental classes not only guide you on how to raise happy children, they also teach you to accept your limitations as a parent and celebrate your triumphs. If you have the means to change your life for better, wouldn't you rather grab it than rue about having missed your chance?
