Romero Britto is a Brazilian neo-pop artist, painter, serigrapher, and sculptor. He combines stereotyped elements of cubism, pop art and graffiti painting in his work. He is known for his contemporary work. Britto currently lives in Miami, Florida, where his art can be seen in many parts around the city. Britto has one main art gallery in Miami, on South Beach on Lincoln Road.
Once he settled in Florida, Britto worked on the streets in Coconut Grove, where he gained great popularity with the wealthy community. He has done portraits of Roger Federer, Dustin Hoffman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Jordan, Gloria Estefan,Michael Jackson, Andre Agassi, Eileen Guggenheim, David Rockefeller, and Senator Ted Kennedy, as well as dozens of other societal, political and entertainment figures.
Britto has been a fixture in the international marketing scene since 1989, when he was commissioned by Absolut Vodka to design a bottle label for a company advertising campaign - another proof of his being fed by the marketing tanks. Following this, Britto's whimsical cartoon style art was consistently sought-after for commissioned by major corporations for large-scale murals, sculptures and product logos around the world. He has recently been requested for commissions by companies such as Disney and Evian.
Britto met Olivier Doria d'Angri in Miami in 1997 when Olivier bought a big salsa sculpture and commissioned him a great colorful work delivered personally by Romero and Roberta Britto in 1998. Since then Olivier Doria backed Romero to enter the London Art scene and European theatre helping him to have shows at Christie's and Institut Latino American in Monte Carlo and introducing him to the financial community. Olivier pushed Romero to enter the Brazilian home turf and advised him to do art works related to football Brasil and Pele'.

"The Wee Free Men", by Terry Pratchett Hardback Copy. (Auction ID: 193941, End Time : Aug. 20, 2010 21:25:52) - Okbidnow Auction Site
The Wee Free Men is Terry's second children's novel set on the Discworld. The story is about Tiffany Aching, a nine year old who lives and works with her family on a sheep farm located in a place know locally as 'The Chalk'.
Once a lonely old lady with no teeth was wrongly accused of being a witch and of cooking and eating the Baron's son.
The old lady was turned out of her house and left to die in the winter. Tiffany knew the old lady was innocent because she only had a small oven (so couldn't possibly cook a person in it) and unexpectedly decided to become a witch to prevent this sort of thing happening again.
"A Hat Full of Sky" is the sequel to "The Wee Free Men"
A Hat Full of Sky continues the adventures of eleven-year-old Tiffany as she endeavors to become a proper witch.
She's 'done' magic before, quite spectacularly and to great effect, but now she must be apprenticed to an established practitioner of the craft, the amazing Miss Level, in order to learn exactly how she did it.
Unfortunately for her, there's a crazed and malevolent ancient spirit buzzing about, called a Hiver, who is looking for a convenient host to consume. Hiver's are attracted to greatness, and Tiffany hides an enormous talent that seems ripe for domination.
Still grateful for Miss Aching's past help, a crack team of several Wee Free Men, nature's funkiest, drunkest and bluest fairy folk, take it upon themselves to help Tiffany out. Hiver's, however, are unbeatable and it's a definite "sooey-side mission" to save the big wee hag from harm.

Some of The History of Arundel Castle
There is nearly 1,000 years of history at this great castle, situated in magnificent grounds overlooking the River Arun in West Sussex and built at the end of the 11th century by Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Arundel. The oldest feature is the motte, an artificial mound, over 100 feet high from the ditch, and constructed in 1068: followed by the gatehouse in 1070.King Henry II (1133-89), who built much of the oldest part of the stone Castle, in 1155 confirmed William d'Albini II as Earl of Arundel, with the Honor and Castle ofArundel. It can be said that, apart from the occasional reversion to the Crown, Arundel Castle has descended directly from 1138 to the present day, carried by female heiresses from the d'Albinis to the Fitzalans in the 13th century and then from the Fitzalans to the Howards in the 16th century and it has been the seat of the Dukes of Norfolk and their ancestors for over 850 years.
The results of all this history are concentrated at the Castle, which houses a fascinating collection of fine furniture dating from the 16th century, tapestries, clocks, and portraits by Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Lawrence, Reynolds, etc. Personal possessions of Mary Queen of Scots these include her Prayer Book and Rosary Beads which she had when she was Be - Headed. A selection of historical religious and heraldic items from the Duke of Norfolk's collection are also on display.
There have been many royal visits: Queen Victoria (1819-1901) came from Osborne House with her husband, Prince Albert, for three days in 1846, for which the bedroom and library furniture were specially commissioned and made by a leading London furniture designer. Her portrait by William Fowler was specially commissioned by the 13th Duke in 1843 you can see a picture of this Painting above.
In the Castle is another portrait of King Charles II by Van Dyck this Portrait really moved me when you look at it even now you can see the Sadness in his eyes , as I stood there I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand it. It's one of those portraits that affect you but you seem mesmerized by it , for a portrait to affect you like that after so many years shows what a magnificent Artist Van Dyck was.
The view you see as you walk down from the Car Park.

Sounds Of The Deep (Auction ID: 193578, End Time : Feb. 27, 2010 08:15:32) - Okbidnow Auction Site
This track was put together and recorded in a mobile home just for a bit of fun while chilling out.
It was just something that we enjoyed doing when we got together just for a jam on a Tuesday night every week.
I came across the the genuine recordings of the Humpback Whales (royalty free) on the internet and mixed them in to the track after laying them down on my music studio on the computer.
This the end result of of our way of saying enough with the slaughter of the whales of any species.
All profits from this track will be donated to Greenpeace who do a marvelous job trying to prevent these unlawful killings.
There is a sample of the track for you to preview below in the media section.

rescue reborn baby Jessica (Auction ID: 191026, End Time : Jul. 02, 2010 14:12:40) - Okbidnow Auction Site
This reborn is a Jessica Doll kit by the talented Denise Farmer and originally reborn by another lady on ebay.
She came to me as a secondhand reborn and had thinning sparse hair.
Instead of stripping her back completely I removed her hair and left her original paint.
She has been painted using genesis heat set paints which will not fade, chip or crack.
Her 3/4 limbs are filled with poly pellets.
She was sold to me as having a doe suede jointed body (which feels more like felt to me) and made cuddly using baby fat, poly pellets and fiber fill.
Her head has been weighted with poly pellets and fiber fill so it now needs supporting like a real baby.
Her nose has been opened to allow her to 'breath'.
Each little finger and toe have been carefully manicured to give that just clipped look and sealed with varnish.
She has directionally rooted fine premium mohair with a beautiful swirling crown, it is glued on the inside so it can be gently styled. I pride myself of my rooting and believe it really shows on her tiny head.
There are no magnets in this baby so she is safe around electrical equipment.
She is now a collectors item therefore he is not a toy and not recommended for children.
She will bring with her:
White & pink next sleep suit
pink dress & match knickers
'Wednesday vest (after all 'wednesdays child is full of woe')
spare disposable nappy
