Беляки в генеральском собрании,
Проходившем в Сибири, в изгнании,
Утвердили прави-
телем Русской земли
Колчака, адмирала по званию.
До сих пор удивляюсь, как Верховным Правителем России генералы выбрали адмирала.
А. Дубровский, 2011
In a general meeting that was held in Siberia, in exile, White guards approved Kolchak, Admiral officer, for a head of Russian land (I still wonder how Russia's generals have chosen an admiral as supreme ruler)(makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).
A series of birthday cards goes on, today featuring Vitalik, a guitar player from Moscow's live trip-hop band Salto.

Here's some of my makeshift photography of the show we've been to yesterday at Central St. Martin's School. At the show, there were graphic design, illustration, photography and animation works, plus some interactive stuff, as for example, a machine that reads movement of your hands to draw a mural, etc.

Славный Август из города Рима
Был богами поддержан незримо.
И тогда по рогам
Надавал всем врагам
Тот неистовый Август из Рима.
Воистину, завоевательная политика императора Октавиана Августа была впечатляющей.
А. Дубровский, 2011
Glorious August from the city of Rome Was supported by the invisible gods. And then by the horns Slapped he all his enemies That frenetic August of Rome (truly, aggressive policy of the emperor Octavian Augustus was impressive). (makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).

Here's some sketches from our bike trip to Windsor. It was a long way (we spent 5 hours on bikes), but the path is very nice. It goes along the river most of the time, which is very picturesque, and features hundreds of geese, river locks, bridges and even a ferry. It was hard not to stop for sketching every fifteen minutes!

A pencil sketch of a bridge in Staines, which is half way through:
