...Eller det her fra answers.com.
- Det er vist ikke bare 'romerne,
der er skøre', som Asterix ville sige det, så omskrevet må det vel være,
- 'de er nu skøre de kunstnere'.
"Eolake [eee'-(o)-laik] Stobblehouse is a Danish artist/photographer and
writer. Born in 1963 in the small town of Karreb?ksminde, Denmark, his
father was a house painter, and his mother an artistically inclined
bohemian from Sweden. He studied a number of different kinds of art,
including photography, and won titles and medals for his photographic
work. An artist and draftsman, Stobblehouse has also written science
fiction short stories for American publications, as well as articles
about art and Macintosh computers for various magazines.
Eolake Stobblehouse made up his own name and claims the following
etymology:" 'Eo' means the earliest or the original of something.
'Lakin' or 'Laik' comes from old English 'to play' or 'move around', and
further back from old Norse, 'toy' or 'baby.' Stob means, in old
Scottish dialect: (1) a stick, broken off twig, (2) a stump, the
remainder or remnant of a rainbow. Stob-thatch is roofing consisting of
broom or brushwood laid across the rafters. ... So if we want to get
poetic about it, Eolake Stobblehouse would mean 'The original child, son
of the rainbow, living with the spirit of play in a thatch-roofed home.'""
