OF SERENDIPITY AND THE SUSPENDING OF CENTURIES (2013/5/18 16:41) December 2012. Back from a quick trip to London, and quite by chance, I opened a book. It’s not a book I open often, and when I do, it’s usually somewhere in the middle. (It?s a precious book, and the binding needs careful hands.) This time, the book opened to the front endpapers, and a loose sheet of paper slipped out. Exhibition, I read. Opening days: November 23rd until Christmas.  Place: Leicester Square. And I thought, Oh my goodness, we were there last week, how could I have missed it? What a shame! Now, I confess that was a very fleeting thought, as the date was indeed November 23 to Christmas, but the year was  1912 , fully a century ago. But, that’s all it takes to set my mind awhirl: imagining Leicester Square in 1912, imagining the gallery, the opening of the show, the exquisite originals on the walls, the hum of conversations… and thinking that yes, wouldn’t it be wonderful to set a century aside briefly and step back for an hour t ... POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE (2013/4/15 12:00) Dear X, I am sorry to have been so much out of touch these last few years; working in a fantasy universe in a country which is already quite fantastical to many people, perched as it is on the lowe ... BACK AGAIN, THOUGH STILL THERE AS WELL? (2013/3/15 12:37) Well, I’m back. I confess that everything caught up with me, and what I had planned as a short break from newsletters turned into a rather longer one. Work continues unabated, and given that ...

MYTH-MAKING FOR THE MODERN MAN (2012/12/15 9:33) There is something about stories… their eternal appeal, their ability to transport, to enlighten, to convey conviction and pose questions. Myth is story in one of its purest forms. About myth s ... The Hobbit World Premiere, Wellington, November 28, 2012 (2012/11/30 9:33)     jQuery(document).ready(function($) { jQuery("#html5_video_642").mediaelementplayer({}); });   Thanks to all the fans who lined the red carpet, ... THE IMAGINARY FLIGHT (2012/10/15 9:25) Or Perspective is Really All About Where You Stand The timeless tale of Don Quixote is a voyage within a voyage. Like all journeys, the spiritual and physical are interwoven, entwined, inextric ... THROUGH WILDERLAND: The 2013 Tolkien Calendar (2012/9/17 1:25) It?s always an agreeable thought to have a newsletter done well in advance, even if the text that follows was written for something else entirely. There?s a lot more to The Hobbit than meets the eye ... Landscape Pareidolia and Lunches (Packed) (2012/8/21 11:23) A few months ago, I began an ambitious newsletter about landscape. Landscape and story, or perhaps memory, or even myth, since the three are branches of the same tree. Naturally, I didn?t get as fa ... The Sketchbook Appreciation Society (2012/7/30 11:55) Some things seem to come about of their own accord, though clearly a good idea only needs the slightest excuse to happen. Thanks to a handful of creative and enthusiastic forum members, we are adding ...
