Van Lego kun je alles makenOom Errie vind het nooit zo'n probleem om op zijn neefjes te passen. Bij hun thuis dan. Niet hier. Want daar staan tonnen vol Lego. Alleen jammer dat er tegenwoordig alle denkbare vormen van gemaakt worden. Dan houdt het al snel op met je creativiteit om vierkante blokken ergens op te laten lijken. Nee, dan vroegah. Dat was pas échte Lego.

Seeds are one of the most important natural resources. Seeds gave rise and sustain civilization. The conservation of crop seed diversity is an important topic because many historically important crop varieties are threatened with extinction. Many have gone extinct. If humanity loses this important diversity then we lose crops that may be disease, drought, flood or salt resistant. The existence of seed diversity is necessary for the future of agriculture and this diversity is the perpetual wheel for civilization's existence.I recently listened to a very interesting Diane Rhem Show on the importance of crop seed diversity and the role seed vaults or banks play in the preservation of crop seed diversity. The most recent seed vault, which became operational, is the Svalbard Global Seed V

From the vaults of T.S. Minton:Artwork of the weekIn the months to come, I will be breaking loose with some choice selections of material from my various phases as an artist...from the 70s to the present. Some periods have been more prolific than others, some more figurative, and many pieces are beyond easy classification (blurring the boundaries between abstraction, surrealism, cartooning, and more academic rendering). Below are two pieces from the mid-90s, when I was immersed in a self-study of the classic drawing system The Natural Way to Draw by Kimon Nicolaides. After hours of rigorous practice following Nicolaides' lessons on gestures, contours, form, etc. I often would unwind and let my own muse flow in pieces like these. His influence was still keenly felt in these more expressive sessions, and I was also impressed by the statement of Tucson artist George Welch (who was my instructor in an oil painting class at Pima Community College circa spring 1993) , who told me that effec
