Noteable Read

The latest issue of Imprimis, a forever free “Monthly Digest on Liberty and the Defense of America’s Founding Principles” is very applicable to my purpose & outlook as a storybuilder. The article? “The Case for Good Taste in Children’s Books” by Meghan Cox Gurdon, who reviews children’s books for the Wall Street Journal.

To read it, click this: http://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/archives & select July 2013.

Noteable: I am formatting another card (daffodils) & revising the tulip one I explored partway through summer.

Antiquated Faces

Here is a handful of human heads hewn and hatched by my hand. In short, ’tis a sample smattering of several singers to stage my sometimes serious and simultaneously silly script.

In shorter, for those interesting in The Antiquary, here are rough sketches I did of several characters. Roll arrow over for “flavor text.”

Tidy Tide

Spent a little time tidying up Draws the Eventide. Autumnal alternations include:

  • Streamlining my portfolio section
  • Relocating writings. At this time, it’s just art reviews, but I plan to add fiction & poetry. Short collaborative works? Inventive haiku? Story snippets? Perhaps some creative insights & clever quips to complement (or supplement? Think outside the triangle) to my current writing & teaching position. Perhaps that sort of thing could be its own corner of this site. What would you like to read?
  • Updating the Racing Pajamas page:
  1. Sneak peek (added illustrations)
  2. Activated comments!
