Nobody naw give you no break, police naw give you no break, soldier naw give you no break, not even you idren naw give you no break


Here is the little urban commando patrolling the mean streets of the docks. Always on the lookout for trouble, he's like one of those Guardian Angel fellows you used to see about with those silly red berets.

Only Henry don't wear no Raspberry Beret.

He is adorable and the commando jacket suits him.

Henry, as usual, is looking gorgeous.
The commando jacket, the half-taken step and those eyes with a hint of mischief, he really looks like an angel.

As long as he doesn't become an urban terrorist.

Don't ever let him leave Tasmania. He's too beautiful to spoil.

Wow! lovely, adorable, curious and full-of-life chap. Any great master would love to have an wonderful pupil like Henry under her/him. Am I mistaken or has Henry grown really tall compared to his age?

Priyanka, he looks like a militant in Kashmir!

He keeps carrying on and I might send him there…
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, or Che Guevara.

Roddy, too late…
Kris McCracken said…
Elaine, I was thinking of mailing him to Willits (via Kashmir).
Kris McCracken said…
KL, he is stupidly tall. He’s their height of a four or five year old and he’s only two and a half.

I should really trust you to swing a comment from one extreme to just the opposite :-))
Well, I have read very little of Che but I would prefer angel still.
His eyes and hair are just adorableeeeeeee!!!! dnt cut his hair plzzzzzzzzz

Yamini, Che was a bit of a loser, by my reckoning. I'm not sure why he has such a following, given the monumental failure of his life.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke...

In dreams begin responsibilities.

A life at sea, that's for me, only I just don't have the BREAD. That's right, Theme Thursday yet again and I post a photo of a yacht dicking about in Bass Strait just off Wynyard. The problem is, I am yet again stuck at work, slogging away, because I knead need the dough . My understanding is that it is the dough that makes the BREAD. And it is the BREAD that buys the yacht. On my salary though, I will be lucky to have enough dough or BREAD for a half dozen dinner rolls. Happy Theme Thursday people, sorry for the rush.
