“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.” vBy C.S. Lewis Another amazing reminder that … Continue reading Wednesday’s Wisdoms #19: It’s all been done before
Foibles of the Judge Called Jury
I'm pretty sure I saw this as a drawing somewhere, well, actually not so sure. However, the image seems to pop up in my memories from Monty Python skits, Star Trek TNG scenes with Q, and strange Kafka-esque gothic films from the 1960s and 1970s.

RAWR… I guess… An Example from the Anarchist Manifesto
I saw a partial face on an alley wall downtown, screaming at passersby and it made me laugh. First, I wondered who was passerby-ing in this alley to see this almost entirely hidden screamer, then I wondered what it was screaming about from such an obscure location, where so few people would hear it.

A Cubist Momento Mori
I think I might have deviated a little from my usual process of using some specific inspiration as a base for new work.

Secret Memory Box #7 – Memories Intertwined
As you can read in the mentor's prompt, one of the directives was to use coils; not my favourite method. I had to make it different somehow, as all I could think of was a coil pot. Even if I closed it on both sides, to me it remained only a cylinder; how could I … Continue reading Secret Memory Box #7 – Memories Intertwined
