Nice fit
the millipede is a few legs short of the full quota though
on the way to being wide eyed and legless.

hee hee . . you guys are quick off the mark . . that yellow paint is not even dry! Thanks.

looks like a modern prehistoric drawing! Traffic is so crazy nowadays. Bravi!

A funny one again. I like the shoes included with the millipede.

Gave me a chuckle ;-)
As somebody else mentioned, I think the inclusion of the feet makes the shot...

Outstanding! Giovanni said it best. Imagine during the next civilization (or aliens) they come across these unusual drawings and spend years piecing together what life was like. They may think we have these multiple legged dinasours.
This one sure got my imagination flowing. A masterpiece for sure R & L.
By the way we have millipede's all over our roadways these days. (tourist season)

I'm more afraid of the centipedes! ;) You guys are very creative, don't know how you always come up with these ideas ... it's great and full of humor! ;)

Surveying the scene, Chief Inspector Lilly determines the victim was overrun by a cyclist with the initial "R", not her first encounter with the rogue.

I like the textures, what a great match

Gary from Cochise County, United States
I agree with Giovanni. I think I saw this on a cave drawing in New Mexico, except the one I saw showed the millipede running up the man's leg and he was trying to hit it with his club.
I really like the designs of these two. Nice work.

Rofl! I'm not sure though, whether I look forward more to the photo or the dialogue! But who cares - just keep 'em coming!

I love these representations! I sometimes look down while I'm walking and this is definitely not the usual discarded wrappers, cigarette butts, or trash strewn about on the street. Excellent gems!

Very funny... original and well composed...

I think one needs to build a bigger bike if we are encountering millipedes of that size in comparison.

Please allow me to annotate that the yellow thingy might not be a millipede but a specimen of the Hallucigenia species. :-)

zombie millipede! looks like modern cave-art... i like how the yellow repeats in this photo. on milli and the strip on the right.i still cant get over how cool and WELL-EXECUTED the idea of merging 2 places into one photo is. awesome interesting work.
21 Nov 2008 11:54pm
@Em!ly Ng: :
Thank you, Emily. The tough part is, often, finding two images that will combine. Ronnie spent half a day walking the streets looking for a 'match' for this !
dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States
i just need to be utterly clear: you guys are simply FAAAAABULOUS!!! (there, i have said my piece and can now go and enjoy the beginning of a long awaited weekend!) bravo guys!! you have put a smile on my face this late afternoon! :D

@dj.tigersprout: :
wow . . thanks so much, DJ . . enjoy the weekend !
willow from Chelsea, United States
Love it! Especially the extra R - is that so we know which is right and which is left or is that Ronnie's foot?
22 Nov 2008 1:28am
@willow: :
(from Ronnie) Hey, thanks, Willow. Lilly had me put that xtra 'R' on there in case someone thought she had feet like that !
JJ from Jersey City, United States
another wonderful collaboration, have me chuckling away, very clever, especially like the feet and the extra R, makes me more intrigued at where the merging of shots is

Ancient miilpede drawings in modern day times...makes me wonder what the cavemen would have thought of this?
All kidding aside, I think this is really clever and the colours just pop so much. Excellent eye!

Fantastic blending; so incredibly unified and wild, all at once.

Shuva Brata Deb from Hyderabad, India
Is(Are) this two different pictures or just one that has two sides(sense)?
22 Nov 2008 4:53am
@Shuva Brata Deb: :
(from Ronnie) Hi, definitely separate images . . one from the US and one from London as with all our basic stuff here. In fact, this was three images because my feet were moved around ! Thanks for your kind Comments and interest, Shuva.
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
What a funny combination this is! I'm not surprised to read, above, that you have to put a lot of time and effort into these wonderful pieces of work that you present to us. Fantastic, then!

Great composition. The hazard and the eye have created this amazing image. Very good.

I think there is going to be an accident! The bicyclist is going too fast!
It's good that there is one witness standing there at least!
I really like the bright yellow of millipede and the contrast with the pale white of the bicyclist.
Great shot! :)
22 Nov 2008 3:06pm
@Shirin S. Moosavi: Yay! Thanx, Shirin . . this one was fun.

Yes, definitely modern day cave men have been here. :)
Another great combo, L and R, well done.

Seamless. So much conveyed with so little.

pedro from loures, Portugal
so i think it has priority due to number of legs, maybe technicaly its impossible to build a byke with that many pedals!!.
