Clive Smith \ Gathered on the road Long Winter ...

I have a presentiment that they will say to me: "I woke up!"))
It may be too late, if we take into account the temperature on the thermometer, when it is time to try on a sarafan,
But I really liked the verse - such a kind of "Winter is not in vain angry, it's time to come ..." in a modern way.)))



Gathered on the road Long Winter,
I put on my boots, took my fur coat.
In the suitcase - a blizzard, a cold and a blizzard.
Snow basket is not needed now.

She sat down on the path,
Leave offensively podium chic.
Vesna asked: - In honor of my merits
Allow me to stay around for a week?

Spring frowns eyebrows, sends a refusal to Winter:
"You've already sat down before you."
I foresaw your retreat.
You have not changed in the last year.

Laughing at once sly Winter:
"Maybe it's too early for you to come with warmth?"
My boots are shaking, can I take them off?
I want to try on a new shoe!

In the wardrobe new things to buy me.
You picked a stylish suit where?
I'm so tired, so much mess!
Here's to change my coat - would you ...

Spring blushed, timid hides sight:
-Yes, I was late, I needed an outfit,
And I could not find a taxi free.
So I lost a couple of days on the road.

Then winter sneezed, changed the tone:
- I just got a little cold - the viruses are all around ...
Have pity on me, you should treat the flu.
How can I let the patient go?

"I studied all your tricks."
Here's the ticket for the fast, "says Vesna.
- I'll teach you how to make a firm dish,
Winter secrets you can open ...

- I can not stand the cold and frosts from my childhood,
And I can not be your girlfriend.
Yes, until a new meeting, but in another year ...
It's your time, it's time for me, I'll go ...

And Winter put on dark glasses,
Butterfly drove away, called a taxi.
The hat viciously dropped, right on the run,
Piteously said: "I will not persuade ..."

Forecast for 2012 from the distant 1912.

The French company "Lombart" in the distant 1912 was very inventive in advertising its products.


These postcards were found in the book "The history of the future: images of the 21st century" by Christophe Canto and Odile Faliu.
Some companies in the early 20th century often packed promotional cards together with food and tobacco.
In 1912, the French chocolate company Lombart released a series of six postcards called "En I'an 2012", which means "In 2012".
What is the best way to increase the sales of your products? Of course, through advertising. Sly Frenchmen already then understood this perfectly.

Creating creative advertising cards, showing how the level of technology development will look like in 100 years, the company sought to increase the sales of its sweets. These advertisements (the size of a postcard) were qualitatively manufactured, interestingly illustrated, made in color.
On each skilfully drawn postcard it was shown how specific technologies of the future from 2012 will assist in the delivery of delicious Lombart chocolate to the buyer.
Complete with Lombart sweets, these cards were sold to customers in 1912, and one piece each - to interest customers to collect the entire series and buy more chocolate.
Postcards were drawn by hand in 1879, by their author George Du Maurier.
And you imagine, if people from 1912 visited our 2012, what would they think?
They might be disappointed to learn that we do not have the ubiquitous airports on the rooftops or an 8-hour trip to the moon. Did not last!))

This postcard depicts the flying machine of the future, with a man on board.
Apparently some gentleman is going on a trip and reminds his servants to necessarily load chocolate Lombart.



The postcard shows a phone call when both sides can see and talk to each other in real time using software applications such as Skype, and Apple, IChat and FaceTime.
Parents in France are talking through a "picture phone" with their son, who is in Asia.
The main thing about which they are in a hurry to inform him is that they will send him Lombart chocolate by the nearest airplane flight.



This postcard shows a direct supply of chocolate by a dirigible from France to London.
As you can see, planes and airships coexist peacefully.
Here the futuristic airships are "lighter than air".
One airship seems to be sitting on top of the delivery building of Lombart candies.
Illuminated with a bright light, the airships seem to be at the airport waiting for a landing to deliver the Lombart chocolate, landing on the landing areas on the roof of the building.
All the airships have the inscription "Chocolat Lombart", written in red letters in bold.




Here are the 2012 cars that can fly.
They are shown with side wings and a screw that attaches to the engine.
One of the flying cars is going to land straight at the shop door to pick up some of the chocolate delicacies from Lombart.



This postcard shows people traveling to the moon in 2012 in a kind of "space plane".
The space plane has a passenger cabin, on the roof of which is a searchlight, illuminating the full moon (and getting it!)).
The trip from Paris was to take only eight hours.

I want to give you jazz!

Soft sounds of strings will wake the depth of rest in your eyes.
I really like how through their blue mirror you look at me, and the surprise slips through the silk of my dress ...
Your vzgyad even more worried about my soul and makes my heart tremble even more !!!
Whiskey amber touched your lips.
I feel at their fingertips their trembling, it seemed to me that the double bass woke up in them passion.
But still, I must admit - your excitement is to blame, your wrists.
You look away, and now ... the opportunity to look into your eyes is stolen.
You hear - it's a saxophone, it tries to break our doubts, but I do not know whether I dare say.

I hide my eyes that cry to you about my love.
Rhythm equals our pulse.
With a tender wave your smile lifted into a darkening coolness of a summer evening, drawing me along with you.
It is a pity that my voice does not sound. Oh, how beautiful he is, and he sings about what I want to tell you.
This is more important than me, and probably our lives.

I hear how that voice fascinates you, mercilessly steals, depriving us of each other.
I'm jealous, seeing as jazz dissolves in your eyes, disappears, merging with the music of your heart.
But my happy eyes are laughing taking away the last fear and embarrassment.
I'm going to, I look you in the eyes, I know that I can not do it, I can never. And yet ... you read in my eyes ........
I LOVE YOU!!!
But I want to give you jazz !!!

Gregory Thielker: alone with you in rainy weather

The whole life of this artist is devoted to one goal, and he decided with her in his youth. And this goal is to fully realize yourself in painting. He teaches at Clark University, reads courses in watercolor technique, gives lessons in painting at specialized classes. To achieve the status of a teacher, he went through a long learning curve. He graduated from the School of Modern Art in France, then defended his bachelor's degree in Williamstown. A master's degree was awarded at the University of Washington. And today he did not leave the path of his own education - he conducts scientific work in the study of superrealism. It originated in the far sixties of the last century in the US and then, fairly quickly, spread across Europe. This direction, the main goal of which is thorough accuracy and absolute detail in the reproduction of the surrounding reality. Actually, by and large, imitation of a photo.

Undoubtedly, superrealism became the most popular style in the works of Gregory Thielker. He mastered this technique in perfection. The artist's paintings create the effect of presence in the viewer. They seem to put the contemplator inward. It begins to seem like you are sitting in a car, and outside the window the world is flooded with rain. You are warm and cozy, you want to look at the drops falling on the glass and calmly reflect on something of your own, plunging into thoughts. Because the wet glass creates an artificial barrier, fences off the world, invites you to look inside yourself. Excellent occupation for any time of day and night.
