Gambar
Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals.

John Cleese on Creativity

I have just watched this vid on John Cleese speaking on creativity , it is a bit old now (1991 I believe) but I have only discovered it myself - infact, it was sent to me by my very creative cousin, Josh Lock: electronic music of all kinds and photographer with a true eye. Very helpful to hear creativity described in such a cogent way; I hope it helps me write on.

Just a quick post to point you all to an excellent article over at Lobster & Canary  where fellow author, Daniel A. Rabuzzi, waxes wise upon Mister Mervyn Peake and a more southern fantastical tradition. I am finding it very helpful (I speak in present tense for its help is still with me) in remembering that with all my Tolkienesque desire to make the Half-Continent firm (hello explicariums!!!), it was always intended to be also grotesque, a place where caricature is its normal - I had forgotten this. So Thank you Mister Rabuzzi, for reminding me of my first love, as it were. (You might notice that this humble imposter is also mentioned in the article, which is in truth not why I recommend it to you, but because it is a subject so close to my heart: for Peake is the re...

from: Gabriel D.  to: "tiangotlost@gmail.com"  date: Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 8:12 AM  subject: suspicious looking tattoo  Hello, Tian.  I've been reading your HanziSmatter blog for a while now and I've always found it equally amusing and educational. A little while back one of my friends has gotten his ankle tattooed as you can see in the attached image.  He said it is something related to the concept of "family", but that the tattoo artist himself didn't really make it clear what it meant.  Could you perhaps help?  Best regards,  Gabriel     Typical "family" is 家庭 .
