The Boundaries of Fantasia: January 2010
http://scuzzbopper.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
The Boundaries of Fantasia. Animation, Puppets, Film, Childrens' Books, Family, Travel, Weird Stuff and Reflections on the Universe. Sunday, January 24, 2010. Overdue Blog for 2010. Sighyes, I'm still alive. Way too pre-occupied with book writing, caffiene, family and work to keep the Boundaries filled, but that is no excuse. So Happy New Year! The shots of these freaky puppet heads zooming towards the camera is incredibly disturbing. Of course I love stuff like this, but this is almost too much. Looking...

Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems: Before and After...
http://gnomesofthecheeseforest.blogspot.com/2015/06/before-and-after.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. Here's a little example of how I've been playing with many of the poems in the book, in terms of adding more life to the form and structure of the words, and the layout of how they interact with the illustrations. See my rough "before" version of the poem, just laid-out with the words more or less as-is and the illustration.and my "after" version once I've been playing with the formatting so it all ties in better.

Monday, September 22, 2014. Reasons to Ban This Book! It's Banned Books Week. And the Internet has a good number of lists outlining the reasons why so many classic books have been banned over the ages. A few noted examples here:. 12 Crazy Reasons Why Books Have Been Banned. 15 Classic Children's Books That Have Been Banned in America.

Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems: Tiny Drawing Details
http://gnomesofthecheeseforest.blogspot.com/2015/08/tiny-drawing-details.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. This week I'm posting a few tiny cropped details from a few more illustrations, just to tease you and generally annoy you. You'll just have to wait to see what the rest of these drawings look like. At this point, without going into too much detail, Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems. As a work in itself, has greatly benefited from this drastic round of edits, and it's still constantly changing! As for when it's all done? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, January 19, 2015. Just a little experiment in showing the evolution behind one of the book's drawings. Monday, January 5, 2015. Professor Stitch-Wicket comes into focus. Welcome to my first new post for 2015! A great deal of progress was made over the holidays, particularly on a couple of long-form poems for the book, which I will reveal more about in due time. This blog is officially a year old now, so yay! Over a year ago. Click the images to enlarge and see better.). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://gnomesofthecheeseforest.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 15, 2014. Dummy Book: Version 2. There are still two long-form poems (entitled The Boy Who Looked Up. And The Great Epic Journey of Professor Stitch-Wicket. Which still have yet to be illustrated. As I am currently on holidays until 2015, my goal is to finish these drawings and ring in the new year by saying all the drawings are complete. Here is a quick 6-second sneak peek, in the form of a Vine, of a few pages in the book as it currently stands. Monday, December 8, 2014.

Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems: August 2015
http://gnomesofthecheeseforest.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2015. The Stories Inside Me. This week I'm sharing a complete poem which, at this point anyway, has been placed on the cutting room floor for Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems. Not because I don't favor it, but simply because it doesn't fit into the flow of how the other poems are presently grouped together. So I think it's safe to reveal it here. Update: I put this poem back in the book. Monday, August 10, 2015. As for when it's all done? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems: March 2015
http://gnomesofthecheeseforest.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. The Boy Who Looked Up. For this new post, I'm sharing a peek at one of the long-form poems in the book which spreads out over several pages, and reads like a Dr. Seuss-ish short story nestled within the shorter one-pager and two-pager poems. The spark of inspiration for this story came unexpectedly when a friend of mine, author and film critic-extraordinaire Jeffrey Overstreet. Posted on Facebook a short video he took one day. What if his head got stuck that way? If you've noticed...

Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems: A Reading in the Woods
http://gnomesofthecheeseforest.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-reading-in-woods.html
Monday, June 1, 2015. A Reading in the Woods. I'm re-arranging my bi-weekly schedule on the blog because something fun related to the book has just been posted online. My office at VanArts. Is right next to the Acting Department, and one of their instructors, Gabriel Carter, asked if I'd be up for reading my poems on his online, low-tech and one-take talk/variety show Dog's Breakfast. Which features a "surreal segment" in each episode. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
