http://unhurrieddrawings.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
In praise of slowness and time. Row, row, row your boat,. Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,. Life is but a dream. Wednesday, 13 June 2012. Spirin and the Dugins. Another book haul that could not be avoided. On a recent trip to Germany I had no choice but to pick up books by some fiercely talented artists. What’s with all the Russians? And why do they all cater to my taste, a mystery! The first one is by well-known artist Gennardy Spirin. 8220;The tale of the unicorn”. We’d...

So I went on a little quest to make my l luck last week…. All the way to Italy, to the Children’s Book Fair in Bologna, right into the dragons den. Before I say anything else, guys, you REALLY have to go! Make time, save up and take a leap and jump in(to the real world). God, so much to see and to learn! I’...

Yes, it came as a shock to me too! I first realized it when reading Laini Taylors blog…and she mentioned the day when it finally hit her that”writer’s write”. That to be a writer she would actually have to sit down and start writing, seriously. The most scary thing for me still is to have to do an illustration twice – shriiieeek! And not t...

This was one of my favourite fairy tales growing up. A poor, childless couple wishes for a child of their own: “And if it was a hedgehog, “ , be careful what you wish for! A baby boy is born but he is a hedgehog from the waist up! Labels: Work in progress. Grimms Tales: Snowwhite and Rosered. A Line Less Ordinary.

Unhurried Drawings: Fairy Tale Roots
http://unhurrieddrawings.blogspot.com/2012/04/fairy-tale-roots.html
In praise of slowness and time. Row, row, row your boat,. Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,. Life is but a dream. Thursday, 12 April 2012. One thing I learned talking to different publishers is that if you really want to publish yet another fairy tale it needs to be breathtakingly different. They showed me extraordinary books and left me speechless. And that there does not seem to be much money in fairy tales. All cultures know them. They are my biggest obsession. A general love...

http://airforceamazons.blogspot.com/2009/09/afghanistan-worst-case-scenario.html
Wednesday, 9 September 2009. Afghanistan: the worst-case scenario. Abu Muqawama on election fraud and counter-insurgency, parts one. Brian Platt of the Canada-Afghanistan blog rounds up this week’s political punditry on the question of in or out. While finding his own confidence in the outcome ‘somewhat inexplicable’. 8220;We tried to contain the terrorism problem in Afghanistan from a distance before 9/11,” he said. “Look how well that worked.”. Not a difficult job for him I’m sure, as Portillo in...

What to do at the Childrens book fair. Before going to the fair for the first time I started browsing a bit to find some advice. Maybe my limited patience and googling skills are to blame but I found very little on the web. So I thought I share a little of my experience with you. 8226; Pick up publishers catalogues! Need I say more? And eating p...
