Stonework: April 2010
http://astonework.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 13, 2010. On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins. Science, computers and AI, and might have trashed Hawkins just because he trashes almost everyone in those fields. I am NOT well versed in computer science, electronics, AI and brain science, although I know more than many because I've lived with engineers and worked for brain scientists. But Hawkins's book was obviously a pop read, not a serious study. I also liked his lecture and was excited by his claim that the neo. Science about the cortex an...

Stonework: February 2010
http://astonework.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Creating Worlds - Tales of Anieth. What I do is create worlds. I wanted to do this ever since I read The Lord of Rings. When I was nine. I decided at the ripe ol' age of twelve, that my greatest fear in writing was that some artist would get to interpret the characters and the world visually. Since I wanted to create a WORLD and not a novel, I decided that I had to draw my own pictures. This meant drawing people. Because the story works. Usually my stories were good, cer...

Stonework: The Loneliness of Vision
http://astonework.blogspot.com/2010/04/loneliness-of-vision.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. The Loneliness of Vision. Alan Lee's Túrin Turambar surrounded by the outlaws who dwelt south of Brethil). One of my favorite artists: Chmiel, who does quite a bit of Tolkien work.). I feel so completely isolated and cut off, more and more and more so as the series rises up out of "hopeful wannabe" to a sledgehammer of accomplishment, and I want more and more to hide it away, to keep it from people, to pretend that I am not doing anything. Part of me finds this shameful and ...

Stonework: January 2010
http://astonework.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 22, 2010. Trying to Reach the Heart. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? I realized when I went back to bookkeeping for money and freed myself from the quest for publication that I had little idea of what I wanted to do. I kind of knew, but I had no confidence, no compass. I was faced with the fear of exposing my soul only to find out that no one liked it. So what? I asked. So what. So what. When one has done art since one was a pre-schooler to appease people and do what they want, that so what?

Stonework: Longing for Language
http://astonework.blogspot.com/2010/02/longing-for-language.html
Sunday, February 21, 2010. I have never felt at home in English. No, I'm not going to go on about previous lives or anything like that! I just don't like English. I'm very, very glad I learned it as my first language, for I never would have learned it as a second language. People laugh when I say that I don't do well with English. They blame my lysdexia. But what can I say? Actually, quite a bit. That is why I like it. A friend of mine once complained that language should have one word for one thing ...

Stonework: For God hath Wrought no Greater Beauty than Man
http://astonework.blogspot.com/2010/02/for-god-hath-wrought-no-greater-beauty.html
Monday, February 15, 2010. For God hath Wrought no Greater Beauty than Man. When I was thirteen, my best friend gave me a copy of Ayn Rand's Anthem. Boy, did that change my life. I quickly read everything Rand had published at that time. What is ironic is that I read into Rand what was not there, well some of what was not there. At this time in my life, I was also heavily influenced by Spock on Star Trek. And Quai Chang Kane from Kung Fu. At the age of nine, having read The Lord of Rings. He had watched ...

Tuesday, February 16, 2010. For God hath Wrought no Greater Beauty than Man, part II. If I could explain my fascination with the human form! In The Tales of Anieth. I think that some people, like me, are also just born perverse, unable to accept anything as it is, doubters and questioners who say, "is there not a better way? Kileen Ivava was another challenge. Original to the 1983 book, The Star of Aragon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Creating Worlds - Tales of Anieth. For God hath Wrought no Grea...
