My buddy Doc owns a distillery in Australia (Dobsons).
He makes some wonderful hootch, and is making quite a name for himself. That's not really the point here tho...
His artwork is. His web sight, and bottle labels are insane! I'll link these for you to see.
The other night he posted up a preview of his new Gin label, and I just HAD to use it for my wallpaper. I showed him how nice it was, and he kindly gave me permission to use/share it. He then very kindly made up another "combo" of some of his other labels for an official wall.paper.
Feel free to try them out... Just right click the image, and "Save image as" to D'load it. From there right click, and hit "Use as Desktop". I love them.
Here's what it looks like on my PC...

Ps... He's helping me w/ the design for RayMaran.com (my hydrofoil project)

Combo wall.paper...

Cool, super old timey.

I flipped out when I saw what he had made.
We both have very similar backgrounds in growing up in/around marinas, and distilling. Plus I have always liked all the 1920's - 1950 kinda of "feel".
When I saw his web sight (new) I had to ask who/how it was done. All him. From the coding right down to the images.
He's offered to help in my sites design, and shared what software he used to put it all together.
I'm really stoked to build something similar... An old time feel to the most modern sport boats on the planet. Of course I have no desire to copy his lead, but rather develop something new w/ the same "feel".
Boittom line... You meet a lot of people on the "web".
Some good/some bad/many... who cares.
Doc is one of the good guys. Much like Skad from here. He stays out of the day to day bull crap, and lets people do what they do.
To top it off, he shares MUCH more than he receives.
I have a short list of "deserted island" people. Many of you here on on that list, and there are a few (none here) I'd bring along for target practice... Here's to the people that share!!!
Here's a link to Doc's forum... http://forum.moderndistiller.com/ (http://forum.moderndistiller.com/)
In this photo I had asked everyone to "raise their glass... Goofy zombies didn't really get it. :-[

Nice stuff . I find it a little too cluttered for myself. I use a closeup (macro ) of a large blue dragonfly on some pickerweed I got at Camp.
Reminds meof where I'd rather be sometimes ;) .
Here's to you, Skad and Doc !

I get the same feeling w/ my old time wall.papers.
The previous one is a 1932 Ford Rat Rod, w/ a Rosie the Riveter type gall on the fender. I'm certain I was born decades too late, or perhaps re-born too soon. Maybe not enough time has passed for me to forget...
Cheers Sis!
May the good Lord break the ankles of your enemies, so you can recognize them by their limp.

Thanks for sharing these wall papers with us. They are really cool when life seemed to be a more simpler time.
-
That's exactly my point King.
Life was simpler, and perhaps... better. There was a real sense of hope.
I LOVE this forum, and the very few of you that understand why. What did our president say before jailing all of us for not signing up for PRE PAID medical care??
Something about hope or change or ending which war? I forget...
It's NOT him, It's the machine. BlueSin said it best...

There's the Info.
At XMass he sent me two bottles of his Botanical infused dry Gin. I have to say I will purchase more when these are done.
The sell for 63.00 for 750ml but I'll tell ya... They are worth every penny.
Browse his sites, and check the stuff out.

That's aaight, 18 pack of Lost River suds made here is good to go. If you get my drift? Congrats on your Fine spirits all by your lonesome. It's good to have friends......................

I do keep the good hootch for special friends. There is nothing worse than a drunk, gulping down a fine drop, as if it were Mad Dog 20/20.
When I bought my house, my Realtor bought me a 200.00 bottle of Cabernet. (she's also a great friend of mine)
Anyway... I was screwi er... seeing this local Hippie type chick that was/is a full blown drunk. I asked her NOT to come over here drunk, and she did not listen. I left, and left her here to sober up. When I came home in the morning she had finished off a bottle of Vodka from the freezer, an open bottle of Cutty from the cabinet, and what did I see on MY coffee table?? A liter of coke, my bottle of wine, and a plastic cup half filled w/ wine, and coke. The bottle was empty.
The rest of this story should have gotten me arrested... I tossed her BUTT ARSE NAKED off my front porch, and threw her clothes in the fireplace, along w/ her cell phone. I have only seen her one time since in a town w/ 2,500 people

Ok, that is very cool and by the way, Hydrofoils are cool too. I seem to remember
being on one many years ago when I was a little kid in Bulgaria. Could be wrong but my
long memory is much better than the short term...anyway, what was I saying..?

It was last week Bro! You posted the Picts. this morning... ::)
I told someone, "I think I lost my mind"
She said, "If it really loves you it will come back"
Still waiting. :'(
