Edward Lear in the Other Blogs
- - Flamboyant es una nueva editorial de Barcelona que ha iniciado su producción con la colección «Pequeños grandes tesoros»: libros editados en inglés en el siglo XIX, curiosos y a veces divertidos. El libro con sentido nació como respuesta a los limericks de Edward Lear, figura clave del nonsense («sin sentido») y es un libro humorístico, irónico y sarcástico. En Terroncitos de azúcar , para lectores más pequeños, aparecen personajes infantiles con sus juegos e historias. Se edita
- - As you know by now, every so often I post a recipe...there's no particular rhyme or reason for this...either with the timing or the recipes themselves (past entries, after all, include miniature BLTs and salt and vinegar popcorn )... This morning I was unusually motivated and made a batch of reduced fat/low cholesterol banana muffins...despite the off-puttingly healthy name these are delicious...even more so if you throw a handful of raisins into the final batter mix. Preheat your oven
- - by ‘REDSHANK’ St John’s Day, Midsummer Day, has come and gone, bringing to the nature diarists’ community, as the country folk call us, melancholy thoughts of the inexpugnable passage of time and of the already declining year. In our neighbourhood, St John’s Eve is a time when age-old customs, elsewhere, alas, confined to the mists of antiquity, still flourish even in these prosaic days. Young men and maidens, not to speak of some in neither category, forsake their clubbing to dance in the
- - This evening’s edition of The Thread is an archaeological investigation of Victorian nonsense poetry through the work of Edward Lear, W.S.Gilbert and Lewis Carroll.

- - Luca Guido Almansi è stato immortalato in tv, suo malgrado, come acerrimo nemico di Carmelo Bene. Nel 1989, nel 1994 e infine nel 1995 i due hanno avuto modo di dirsene di tutti i colori. In questo suo saggio del ’86, Almansi denota una spaccatura proverbiale, ossia quella fra il serio e il faceto. Potremmo non a torto inserire il lavoro dell’attore nel primo caso e questo testo di Almansi nel secondo, correggendo possibilmente il dispregiativo faceto in allegro. Lo stesso Almansi nella prefaz
- - Amy Crehore 2009 preliminary sketch Amy Crehore 2009 preliminary sketch I'm working on oil-primed fiberboard right now. I usually paint on linen, so this is a little bit different for me. I'm doing a couple of 12"x12" paintings in preparation for a show at comic-con in San Diego which I will tell you more about soon. I have posted some partial images (above) as a teaser. My process goes like this: first, I sketch the image in with raw umber (after transferring a pencil drawing to

Grazie anche a tutti gli affettuosi amici che mi hanno omaggi
- - Read: Y. The Last Man. Which is brilliant. I got into Brian K. Vaughan (known to some as a Lost writer?) through his excellent comic series Ex Machina which is well worth reading for a fascinating realisation of an alternate post-9/11 New York. He also wrote the award-winning Pride of Baghdad, Marvel's Runaways and did a stint on Buffy: Series 8 while Joss Wheadon was having a lie down. Anyway, Y. The Last Man follows Yorick, the last man on an earth where a plague (or something or other) has
- - Owl O ! When teaching I always did octopus O, but we've already done that here at No Time For Flash Cards. After a few flips through the kids dictionary for ideas for the letter O I laughed at myself for never doing an owl before! I was more excited when my son was eager to do a craft after such a busy day. When it was all done we both couldn't wait to show it off , my son to his dad and me to all of you! . Gather your materials. You will need 3 different colors of construction pa

- - What does Edward Lear have in common with Samuel Taylor Coleridge? The answer, or at least the question, may be found in the brand-new volume 3 of Jerome Rothenberg’s Poems for the Millennium , coedited with Romanticism scholar Jeffrey C. Robinson. The book approaches the nineteenth century the way Rothenberg and former coeditor Pierre Joris approached the twentieth century—with an eye to the trajectories of alternative poetics. Volume 3 is a fascinating book that’s bound to be controversial
- - “Because, you know, that’s the only reason women go to Comic-Con. It’s not to get comics, toys, art books, anime goods, trading cards, autographs, video game premiums or free geek swag from all the major producers of such. They also don’t go to the con to work booths, do the portfolio rounds, or network to find jobs in the industries. Oh, heck no. Women only go to Comic-Con if they are DRAGGED THERE by the men in their lives, DUH!” - Elin Winkler Above the Fold
