Landscape Pareidolia and Lunches (Packed)  from John Howe  (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 far as I wished, in fact, not very far at all. As usual, ambition is all very well, but I?m already struggling to keep pace with a company of decidedly determined dwarves; aspirations of other kinds must necessarily be set aside until suitable opportunities for straying off the path present themselves. (More prosaically, the day job is quite intense and the inclination to wander away with other quests in mind often reluctantly needs to be postponed.) Nevertheless, I spend a good deal of time walking. Usually along the edge of the sea, principally because that?s where wind waves rock and tree do their long dance. Principally because that?s where instant and eternity have the best chance of being juxtaposed. There are so many images in a landscape, my mind has trouble holding them all, bec ...

The Sketchbook Appreciation Society  from John Howe  (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 a new section to the site forum, dedicated to the art of the incidental, that most eminently portable and indispensable artistic accessory: the sketchbook.   Sketchbooks? I recall my very first ones; they had spiral bindings, red or orange covers. I scribbled in them furiously, took them to high school art class, and hauled them out to do wholly unsatisfying sketches outdoors ? but mostly I sprawled on my tummy on the floor of my room (purple shag carpet; yes I chose it, yes I was in my teens, yes it was the 70?s, yes I think I should be excused on those grounds alone) dutifully doodling in pencil. I recall my first real sketchbook, a gift from my colleague Alan Lee during a sojourn in the Antipodes and in Middle-Earth. When I mused how hard it was to start a first sketch in such a ...

Of Trills in the Night  from John Howe  (2012/7/16 7:08)

A Few Words of Introduction: Of late, the time required by my day job has left me with so little to dedicate to newsletters that an open invitation to my friends and colleagues has gone out in the hope that the respite provided by expected guests will afford me the time to not discontinue them entirely. So, as you can well imagine, I was delighted when Imola Unger replied to my invitation. No stranger to the strange land that constitutes the geography of the site, she has often contributed help and thoughts. Texts insightful, thought-provoking, impeccably researched, grammatically irreproachable, and always delivered with illustrations and captions. A perfect guest. (Guest writers always find the welcome mat out. I leave a light on as well, sometimes there?s even coffee.) And, as you?ll see, like the nightingale, Imola has a voice distinctly her own. ~~~ Of Trills in the Night A plain, unsightly bird; mostly invisible to the eye, wrapped in the cloak of the night. O ...
