Copyright Issue






A Sea snail is talking to a jewelry maker. Let me translate it into one of the human languages.
He/She said: "If you want to use my shell for your necklace production when I am dead, you have to pay for the copyright[1], say, 15 planktons a day....."

[1] Copyright for the unique copy of shell generated from a unique combination of genes.

AES for Cats

There are lots of mice, with identical weight but each with different taste, running from cathode (cage) to the sample (cheese). These mice, after a good or bad meal, will run along the trajectory in the cylinder and go out of the exit to the detector (Cat).
Suppose the cheese is large enough to provide for all the running mice. In fact the mice can only consume the surface of it.
The cat then weighs each mouse, of course eat some, and make a graph of Taste(Energy)-Weight increment(counts). This graph contains the information of the sample (cheese) surface.

This is a schematic illustration of a cylindrical mirror electron Auger-spectrometer found in a surface science book for cats, in the chapter about Auger electron spectroscopy (AES).

WARNING: DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND AES FROM THIS POST!

Organic Restaurant

This a very environment-friendly organic restaurant.
A snail is hired here as a decoration. Its job is to be here and have fun.

I would like to set the background to Japan since Japanese people are quite nice to environment in my opinion.
This is a collaboration with my excellent then-boy friend. It was found on a scratch paper date back to the summer of last year.
Now its time for cartoons again

Dancer fossil

I thought about making a figure like this after shower when listening to Tommy February6. I made this drawing when was listening to Discovery by Daft Punk so it turned out to be a little different from the original idea. 
I enjoy turning audio entities into visual ones.

Luxurious update



This handsome and tough looking bird is a New Zealand robin (if I remembered right). He is so very good at posing that he should be the cover bird of "VOGUE AVIAN"

Thanx to David Attenborough and the interesting BBC documentary "The life of birds", especially the cameraman who is very important but always ignored by the audience (just like the air).

This is a kiwi who lives in New Zealand and have abandoned flying a long time ago so it looks like a fury ball with a bird head and 2 legs. It is now "looking" for food at night, we should better say it is smelling for food because of its sensitive nose and poor eyesight.

This is an Australian frilled lizard. "When it is threatened by its enemies, it responds by spreading the giant frill it has around its neck. But if that doesn't scare them off--
it runs away on its hind legs."
--David Attenborough
This scene was very funny, looks like a sneaky python silly walk.
Warning: Their hands can be very far from reality

Piggy countdown


Small pig clock and the wild pig lady.
Pig year is going.

It has been a hard year for Chinese mother-to-bes because children who are born in the pig year are supposed to be extremely lucky. Hope they managed to give birth during it. Good luck to those who planned to give birth today! But according to the lunar calender, they still have two months before deadline.
Hey, can't you see that there is a very funny point in this picture?
The small pig clock is actually a biological timer bomb planted in the lady pig so it is expected to explode at a certain time. It may work perfectly well in the mechanical case but not in the biological case!

He wants a citizenship in OZ


Born with natural deficiency: perfection and evenness in every part of his body, he is excluded from the world of witches and wizards from the day of his birth. Unlike the blue blood witch downstairs, he has to strive a lot to get a citizenship in OZ or he will be limited as a magician forever.
This is one of his strategies, the photo above is going to be used for the OZ citizenship application form. In the photo, he tried to pretend that he has no ears no eyes but a girl's lip as a boy.

She's from OZ

She is a witch, very young and inexperienced, obviously. Having one arm short and one arm long is the only thing that qualifys her for witchhood.
She will have some more accomplishment and some more experience in the coming years.
When she is 400 years old and a little more accomplished,
she will go to witch university to get herself wrinkled.
When she is 500 years old and a little more accomplished,
she will go to the witch community to get a pair of mean-looking eye-brows.
When she is 600 years old and more accomplished,
she will go to the witch society to get the very long, hooked, mean-looking witch nose.
When she is 700 years old and more accomplished,
she will go to the witch union to get the witch trademark "birthmark" right on her long hooked mean-looking nose.
........


I am 10 posts old now, I am old enough to say "Hi" to friends and friends-to-be now.
I have learned to speak and walk, out of kindergarden, on my way to elementary school!

Snaky Lamp fairy


My snake-like lamp fairy with a polyhedron eye monster.
I made it yesterday while listening to Chopin's Polonaise.

The one intended





This is another forest fairy

This is the one that I intended to draw.

The side product, which came mainly from the remainder of the cheek color in this one, turned out to be much more stylish than this one.

Now for something completely different. It's


A spirit girl walking in the bamboo forest.
I fantasized about this all the time when I was running along "Philosopher's road" located in a small forest near "east mountain". There are several versions of this fantasy. This is one of them.
Could not waste the last drop of pink color remained on the brush, I drew this one on the edge of scratch paper, which turned out to be more stylish than the one I intended to draw.

Finally, the last one


Relax!
There is no such thing as a "pork sushi".
Since the wild pig escaped anyway, I shall end the story here.
I still like the mammoth version better

Another parallel universe-The universe of pigs

Even with quite little odd, it happened that on this planet of this universe, pigs are the ones at the very frontier of evolution. But they are not as mobile as human in our universe so there are diversions in their appearances. Some of them are hairy some of them are hairless, decided by some naughty genetical combinations which have saught their outcome in different geographical regions.
This is a critical scene presenting the moment of this exciting encounter. Finally they met each other both quite stunned with their heads full of ideas of one another. Apparently both of the pig societies are civilized. One reads SF, the other one watches movies.
Small bird happened to be here again with......Well, this time it is hard to tell who is whose pet.
--To be honest, I like the "Mammoth version" better.

Rocky bird



Small bird just had a hair cut.
Look! What she's got, gotten rid of and what is remained.
