WOODCASTLES是德国一家出售艺术家微型画的公司。Frank Holzenburg 是这些微型画的创作者，他曾经坚持每天一副微型画，画了一年。创作时，Frank早已是满头白发，拿根细笔在纸上作画，看不清时会在放大镜下接着画。
在微型的世界里，一切尺寸都被按比例缩小，以大人国的眼光来看小人国的世界，一切都是小小只，萌萌哒。下面我们一起走进WOODCASTLESの微型的世界。
CHEVY-3800
It was a hand me down,
An old Chevy that grandpa didn’t need,
It was just a little truck,
But it would do,
Blue and silver, with rust sprouting up here and there,
A creaky tailgate,
No ac, but a sunroof,
Comfy seats that held you like a race car,
The smell of dust wafting from the vents
It had a little engine that needed work,
It had old tires that needed to be replaced,
A layer of dust that needed to be washed off.
But I didn’t care,
It was my first truck!
(John Buhler)
BEE BEE
Honeybee am I,
of this enchanted valley,
eclectic and crazy,
exquisite blooms gift me honey,
keep it handy for you,
in honeycombs I craft,
taste a drop or two,
in your smile I rejoice!
(K. Balachandran)
DOG FUN
dogs are so much fun when you take them out
when you throw a ball and watch them jump about
chasing after ducks while your in the park
as they run away when he begins to bark
playing with a stick bringing too and fro
drops it at your feet waiting for your throw
having lots of fun playing there with you
a friend to last forever and forever true
(w. worthless)
BIG BIRD
Big Bird will land between a flock of small birds shortly,
but his weight will cause the telephone wire to sag and bend downwards …
The Big Bird appears to resemble a shoebill,
tall, stork-like, native to eastern Africa whose beaks resemble a wooden clog, as well as the Muppet character Big Bird from Sesame Street,
although colored blue instead of yellow.
EEVEE GO !
Pokémon Go originally launched in Australia and New Zealand last week before arriving in the US. While the game has generated a massive following worldwide, it is officially available in Europe since July 13. Of course, many Pokémon Go players have already been playing across Europe by sideloading Android APKs or using a US iTunes account to obtain the game early.
The official launch simply means more people can get actively involved in the latest cultural phenomenon, and swam around noteworthy buildings, public parks, and landmarks hunting wild pokémon.
BRUCE
there was little shark he lived in the sea
he swam around the ocean as happy as can be
one day when he was swimming he heard a little yell
where the noise was coming from he really couldnt tell
he swam a little closer to try and find the sound
there he saw a lobster pot stuck into the ground
inside he saw the lobster locked inside the pot
and to free the lobster it would take a lot
the shark he used his teeth to open door
then realeased the lobster who was free once more
lobster he got wise and kept away from pots
then he thanked the shark thanked him lots and lots
(w. worthless)
BIRDS
Rise up this morning.
Smiled with the rising sun.Three little birds
Pitched by my doorstep.
Singing sweet song.
A melody pure and true.
This is our message to you
Don’t worry about a thing
Cause every little thing gonna be alright.
(Geno Cattouse).
ROLLEI
? Rolleiflex is a long-running and diverse line of high-end cameras originally made by the German company Franke & Heidecke, and later Rollei-Werk.
The highly regarded Zeiss Planar f2.8 and Schneider Xenotar lenses, both 80mm focal length and fast in comparison, are both state of the art optics.
Unique to the Rolleiflex Automat and letter model cameras, the mechanical wind mechanism was robust and clever, making film loading semi-automatic and quick.
CARDINAL
Sparrow, Finch and Wren escort me home as I view rolling hillsides amid the cracking of elder giants along the sandy field road…
A witness to change, to eroding wind and the cataclysm of time, to mud puddles brimming with life … Sing for the day sweet Cardinal, for blue ceiling influences among amber hues and gray scenes , color my beautiful vision with vibrant, native grasses and natural serenity …
(Randolph L Wilson)
DJANGO
? … “Take a good long look, Remy. This is what happens when a rat gets a little too comfortable around humans. The world we live in belongs to the enemy. We must live carefully. We look out for our own kind, Remy. When all is said and done, we’re all we’ve got.” …
? Django is Remy’s father and a major character in Ratatouille, a 2007 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
PUG
? The pavement neath
my pad pawed feet
is sometimes rough
(they seldom sweep)
I tour my little concrete Fief
with a boy on a chain
dragged off his feet.
I sniff and check
each rock and tree
to find which dogs
have stopped to pee.
I roll a growl deep
in my throat
if I see rivals here about.
If perchance, Fifi I meet
I wag my tail and act real sweet.
She’s French you know,
and, when in heat,
worlds can collide
and blend tout suite.
(John F McCullagh)
YELLOWBIRD
On a solitary branch
Yellow bird is perched
Preening herself with care
Singing to her mate
Waiting for him eagerly
Looking for appreciation
For her beauty
Two yellow birds on a branch
Perfectly matched
(Amitav Radiance)
SQUIRREL KING
Silence lies under the chatter of squirrels,
under the crunch of dried leaves,
under the wind navigating the trees.
On it’s edge, before utter deafening nothing,
a flutter whispers in haphazard random
and wild, but intentional motion.
Dancing through the air, mantled in off-white,
she flies from tree to tree, and lands on a
moss and fungus consumed stump.
Beauty incarnate contrasting the death
that surrounds, as the northern world
prepares for a season of slumber.
(Lucas Keith)
HAIGHA
Thisgoddamnteacup
Is empty again
Hare must of drank it.
Hipity Hop Mouse In
Thisgoddamnteapot
Taste Like Shit In Vinegar
One March hair
Two MARCH hair
Three MARCH HAIR
Plucked plumped plopped
Hot and taut in a steaming food pot last time that march hare empties
Thisgoddamnteacup
(Nathaniel Justice)
MITTENS
Allow Mittens to speak for herself.
Only just her stomach growled. Mittens to Louie: “You hear this, Louie? I’m starving here. And when the old stomach starts talking, it’s not talking to me. It’s talking to… the claws!
I’m holding these bad boys back as best as I can, but the thing is it’s not up to me. The stomach’s got a direct line to these babies, and I’m picking up a lot of chatter! So, I’ll talk to the claws, but in exchange, next week, all your food comes to me.”
GIRAFFE
Imagine how difficult it is to drink from the ground when you walk on stilts. Take care to have always enough and fresh water conveniently situated.
HAMMY “… done!”
You already know, I LOVE squirrels !
So this is HAMMY, the hyperactive red squirrel whose mouth moves as fast as his feet. He is innocent, dim-witted, curious, and very childish in nature with an extremely short attention span.
Over the Hedge was written by Travis Gibbons and T. Lewis, produced by DreamWorks Animation, distributed by Paramount Pictures, was released in 2006. With all due deference to the creative work of all of them!
WALL-E
? is a robot who has developed sentience, a small mobile compactor box with all-terrain treads, three-fingered shovel hands, binocular eyes, and retractable solar cells for power. He is the only robot of his kind shown to be still functioning on Earth.
Although working diligently to fulfill his directive to clean up the garbage he is distracted by his curiosity, collecting trinkets of interest.
He stores and displays these “treasures” such as a birdcage full of rubber ducks, a Rubik’s Cube, Zippo lighters, disposable cups filled with plastic cutlery and a golden trophy at his home where he examines and categorizes his finds while watching video cassettes of musicals via an iPod viewed through a large Fresnel lens.
