A White Horizon: First Impressions and Beginner's Luck
http://awhitehorizon.blogspot.com/2013/09/first-impressions-and-beginners-luck.html
Wednesday, 4 September 2013. First Impressions and Beginner's Luck. Over the course of Root Hill 2013, I got introduced to at least half a dozen new games, and I thought I'd do a post about them and what I thought of them. In aproximately the order I played them: Gloom, Resistance, Zombie Dice, Carcassonne, Alhambra, and King of Tokyo. I'm almost tempted to describe it as The Nightmare Before Christmas: the Card Game. But to be honest it's more TNBC. Without the Christmas - just gleeful misery. The strat...

A White Horizon: Never Twice the Same Circle
http://awhitehorizon.blogspot.com/2013/09/never-twice-same-circle.html
Tuesday, 3 September 2013. Never Twice the Same Circle. Suggested recently that I should do a post on how life has changed over the years, and I've decided to take up the suggestion, focussing specifically on the seven years since I first went to Root Hill. I'd just finished sixth form, back in 2006. I didn't know what I wanted to do next. I'd barely started work on my giant mosaic project. Cylinder and Miserable. Had only just started, and Grace and Caffeine. In post-production, and the likes of Day-Glo!

A White Horizon: So, Three Months Later...
http://awhitehorizon.blogspot.com/2014/09/so-three-months-later.html
Tuesday, 16 September 2014. So, Three Months Later. I feel vaguely hypocritical - having given Hannah Newcombe. A scolding for letting her blog lapse, I find myself having done the same thing (albeit not on such a grand scale). Three months have passed since I last posted on here. I've helped build a conservatory. I've finished the second season of The Murkum Show. Plus spin-off Greasy Food With Gonce. And been putting in some brain-juice on the third run. I've started writing Cylinder and Miserable.

A White Horizon: The Twit in the Breathing Mask Is Back
http://awhitehorizon.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-twit-in-breathing-mask-is-back.html
Tuesday, 11 March 2014. The Twit in the Breathing Mask Is Back. My last post offered something of a post-mortem. Series 2. This one is rather less morbid: The Murkum Show. Series 2 is alive and kicking. I'd already decided on the new location and started getting scripts together before the camera fell silent on the set of Series 1, and the project has been steadily picking up steam since about mid-January. If you've been watching my YouTube output, you'll have noticed that my post- Papercuts. Progress ha...

A White Horizon: Ta-da!
http://awhitehorizon.blogspot.com/2013/12/ta-da.html
Saturday, 28 December 2013. I mentioned last time. That I was nearly finished with Papercuts. Episode 7, with the last remaining components being of the audio variety. Well, today Tim. Finished and delivered his ninth composition for the series, I plugged it into the edit along with a handful of other freshly-minted audio elements, and Debt of Gravy-tude. Was finished. And released - you should see it embedded a paragraph or two down from here. I hope you've been taking note of the music in Papercuts.

A White Horizon: Quite A Weekend
http://awhitehorizon.blogspot.com/2013/11/quite-weekend.html
Saturday, 23 November 2013. 23 November 2013: yesterday, someone assassinated President Kennedy. The papers are full of it. Somewhere in a back column, they mentioned that writers C. S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley also died yesterday - but of course JFK is the bigger news. And somebody told me that BBC Television will be starting some new science-fiction show tonight - science fiction on television, of all the strange things to do! I've seen that first episode, An Unearthly Child. Along with the next 12), an...

A White Horizon: One Room, Two Elephants
http://awhitehorizon.blogspot.com/2015/01/one-room-two-elephants.html
Saturday, 10 January 2015. One Room, Two Elephants. The setup: somebody drew some satirical pictures, several people have been killed over it, and now there's this huge furore going on about freedom of expression. And Anonymous have apparently delcared cyber-war on ISIS and Al-Qaeda. So that's the room - and I think it contains not one, but two distinct elephants. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Matthew G. H. Colclough :: The Arc Phase Variations
http://www.mattghc.com/arcphase.htm
The Arc Phase Variations. Variation VI complete (May 2014). 1 precursor, 6 completed in main series, 7th in development. Ink (black Sharpie) on 220gsm cartridge paper. Drawings in main sequence: A2 (420 x 594mm). Somewhere around 2010 (I think), I picked up a Sharpie in an idle moment, started scraping it across a spare piece of wallpaper backing sheet, and ended up with a large, abstract doodle, characterised by its stark monochromacity (real word there? Or maybe Arc Phase Zero. I still havent quite mad...
