But even Meredith herself knew something was going on between him and James. At least for me, I was sure something was bound to happen between them, even as Rio tried to sway my attention with the enchanting Meredith who became ever so infatuated with Oliver. But the truth was, this was seen all along from the very beginning. The twist to this story was almost one of those common clichéd “he was gay” trope. The characters are often quoting Shakespeare’s plays, which makes us wonder what parts of the lines are their true feelings and what is just coincidence from the writing. And we get a similar feeling to it when reading. ![]() The entirety of the novel focuses on how actors can often not decipher what is real and what is acting in their work. There also parts of the dialogue that are written playwright format as well, “Alexander: dialogue” which is remarkable because of the hidden meaning behind these moments when the story is written as such. It is written in acts and scenes rather than parts and chapters, as a typical play would be. The novel itself is wonderfully and uniquely written. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Tiggy winkle![]() ![]() ![]() LUCIE scrambled up the hill as fast as her stout legs would carry her she ran along a steep path-way-up and up-until Little-town was right away down below-she could have dropped a pebble down the chimney!

7/6/2023 0 Comments The arrival graphic novel![]() ![]() ![]() One contributing experience may have been that of growing up in Perth, one of the most isolated cities in the world, sandwiched between a vast desert and ocean. Whether this has anything to do with my own life, I’m not sure, it seems to be more of a subconscious than conscious concern. Looking over much of my previous work as an illustrator and writer, such as The Rabbits (about colonisation), The Lost Thing (about a creature lost in a strange city) or The Red Tree (a girl wandering through shifting dreamscapes), I realise that I have a recurring interest in notions of ‘belonging’, particularly the finding or losing of it. The following is an extract from an article written in 2006 for Viewpoint Magazine, describing some of the ideas and process behind this book. He is helped along the way by sympathetic strangers, each carrying their own unspoken history: stories of struggle and survival in a world of incomprehensible violence, upheaval and hope * With nothing more than a suitcase and a handful of currency, the immigrant must find a place to live, food to eat and some kind of gainful employment. He eventually finds himself in a bewildering city of foreign customs, peculiar animals, curious floating objects and indecipherable languages. A man leaves his wife and child in an impoverished town, seeking better prospects in an unknown country on the other side of a vast ocean. The Arrival is a migrant story told as a series of wordless images. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments House of dreams liz rosenberg![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A house and a heart in disrepair are painful burdens for a passionate woman who's still in her prime.

"So I said, 'Well, that's no problem,' because I already knew I liked to draw a little dog, and I just went home and I asked my friend Charlie Brown if I could use his name and he said that was fine. ![]() "They said, 'Well you'll have to create some definite characters,' " Schulz remembered. When he went to New York to sign the contract he brought half a dozen strips with him, and the syndication service immediately said they'd rather go with a strip because they were easier to market. Schulz's original submission to United Feature Syndicate was a panel cartoon rather than a strip, meaning it had no "definite characters," Schulz himself recalled in a 1990 interview with NPR's Fresh Air. Schulz told NPR's Fresh Air decades later that he regretted drawing that strip because he thought "I hate him" was too strong a declaration. ©Peanuts Worldwide LLC Charlie Brown looked a little different in his official debut in 1950. ![]() |
