So in many ways I suppose this little side-line is semi related to my first job , 

like most kids I was awe struck with the fantastic beasts from the past !! and indeed my first ' Saturday job ' was working for a complete crazy old druid, who as it happens was actually a rather esteemed professor of geology too, and fantastic company and tutor to boot , Now Professor Turner also ran a series of expeditions and excavations throughout the u.k for geological and paleontological specimens of interest .... or sometimes of commercial value, and this is where my initial experience of the ' workplace ' began 

my childhood passion was rekindled just a few short years ago when my prop and replica ' division ' was awarded a production contract for a series of life-sized anatomically correct display items for a series of fundraising events for the local faculty and museum, and it really did reignite my interest , for here was a huge visually enthralling , psychologically dumbfounding 3- D manifestation , of something that I was desperately trying to encapsulate in a series of paintings at the time ...

Dinosaurs stand as a shining salute to the notion that all things .... ALL THINGS !! are temporary !! everything is subject to change !! now this is an astonishingly necessary and pertinent sentiment .... especially in these politically charged and ecologically doomed times !! 

of course we can take the lesson that ' life always finds a way ' as was so eloquently put in some former reference , and yes we can say well the earth was indeed repopulated after each major global extinction event ... but that's not really my intended point of focus !!

as of course with climate change taking some apparent toll on the world , and the worlds leaders by and large have become the same inebriated inbred entitlements that seem to resurface every century or so and proved themselves to be completely incapable of executing the will of the majority   .... and indeed in a world gone quite mad on the available opulence of the latest well paid rip off . its vitally important to instill this notion of change in the fresh minds of the newest generations, and as I said before most kids love dinosaurs ...

and that is the highlight able point .... no matter how big your teeth are , no matter if you are the worlds greatest predator, no matter how many years your epoch lasts ..... no matter how big your building is , or how celebrated and  self important you may be ... all things ,.... ALL THINGS CAN AND DO CHANGE   x x x

Oksanka

Thank you for the recipes! I see the hot red pepper flakes. I know it's also something very special to Caucasian and spices of that region. Maybe you could bring a little bit of this spice with you. I'm not sure we'll be able to find a good one in the Netherlands.

Rick and Morty ... some T.V to devalue and undermine an original idea x x x

OK so Quick question ..... What do you get if you take the basic premise of my ' 101 Reasone to choose a vocation in the creative industries ' ( originally published online 2006 ) throw in a few Big Bang and Futurama Similes , switch the main character from an uptight and experimental Artisan, for a scientist ???.... oh that's right , Rick and Morty !!!

Artby VALERIO being officially ripped off in a world of Charlatans since 1999  x x x  ( I actually enjoy the show ... then then I am bound to , as its almost my idea in animated format !

on a side note .... I was watching an episode online during one of my many travels and all of a sudden some review video came up ! for season 3 episode 8 , and there was some American guy offering all manner of insight into the quick references in the show ... and the review video had like a million views , and almost 4000 comments ??? ( come on guys try being a little more Rick and a little less Morty  .... come on !!)
