- Think Of Writing Like Karate...it's About Discipline.
By: immush | - Writing, like other forms of art, work or talent, requires discipline. It won't ever be enough that you say to yourself that you are a writer. Only when you write and write with discipline can you call yourself one. Before you can earn a black belt in karate, you have to dedicate yourself, practice and instill discipline in yourself to learn the moves and techniques.
The same goes for writing. Don't just read books. Devour them. Ray Bradbury, author of Zen in the Art of Writing, suggests ...

- Rome: Etruscomix, Etruria In Comics, 30 June 25 October 2009
By: Michele de Capitani | - Comics are even more than this: they are effective narrative tools that using images and words (sometimes only images) can communicate with the reader more than any other means of communication. An evidence of the narrative power of comics is given not only by the literary value of many graphic novels, but also by their being used to tell historical events and as reworking of literature classics. Comics have showed to be on the same level of other forms of art and literature, succeeding in stand ...

- Comic-book Scriptwriting Basicsby Randy Ullrich Of Fivesprockets
By: toney taylor | - According to Scott McCloud in his influential work, Understanding Comics, comics are: Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in a viewer.

- The Perception Of Comic Books
By: Vince P.Platania,Jr | - Comic books have carried a negative stigma for as long as they have existed. Viewed as juvenile, cheap or inferior forms of literature and art, comic books have had an uphill battle from day one. But with the success of comic books as represented in Hollywood, maybe, just maybe the perception of them will change.
The truth is, however, that in some circles comic books will always represent what's wrong with the world, like many other forms of entertainment. Video games and tele ...

- Science Fiction Throughout The Ages And Into The Future!
By: Ronald.Eapen | - The evolution of science fiction movies over the last 50 years can be attributed to much more than the advances in special effects and movie-making technology (although those changes have had an effect); the biggest influence on scifi during this time period are the events that occurred in the real world. These past five decades leading up to today have been subject to an ever-accelerating onslaught of technological achievements and world-changing events.

By: Christopher Carter | - But few would argue today that the Beatles made a mistake. Last night's note by note, song by song, reproduction by the Fab Faux--an extraordinary group of five musicians devoted to reproducing the Fab Four's entire body of work live onstage--shows more clearly than can ever be appreciated on even the finest stereo system just how monumental a musical achievement the White Album was, and still is.
As often recounted, the Beatles, after the symphonic extravagances of Sgt. Pepper's, ...

- Developing An Appreciation For The Creative With Kids Art Classes
By: Christine OKelly | - Even if a child doesn't show a passion for drawings, illustrations, sculptures, or paintings doesn't mean you can't encourage the development of an appreciation for the creative.

- One Cartoonist Emerges From Near-death To Help After 9/11
By: William Hendrix, Jr. | - Creator Rick London is a master of humor. The first time I met this comic wit, who launched Londons Times Cartoons out of thin air with no backing other than his brains, he was not yet a cartoonist, but a successful entrepreneur who had founded an interesting bus tour business in 1988. I was a freelance writer at the time, and he was getting major media coverage worldwide so I stood in line for an interview. I enjoyed this humble soul.
As it turned out, in addition to being in b ...

- A Review Of Flaubert's Parrot By Julian Barnes
By: Philip Spires | - Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes is a book I have had queuing up to read for some time. I don't know why I have never got round to reading it. Perhaps it's because of the overtly literary tag that was attached to it when it was short-listed for the Booker Prize. I am not against literary fiction. Far from it: indeed I aspire to write it, after a fashion. My avoidance of Flaubert's Parrot was never conscious, but was probably a result of thinking that I knew wh ...

- Kati Heck Artworks, Paintings And Exhibitions At The Saatchi Gallery
By: Saatchi-Gallery | - Kati Heck approaches painting as a cacophony of pre-fab languages. Her canvases give the illusion of collage: stylistically blending photorealism, illustration, cartoon, and expressive painterly gestures, and incorporating their associative references of porn, instructional manuals, humour, and art history. Her works are grounded in both formalism and fiction. Influenced by comics, mystery novels, and film, each painting plays out a possible narrative, using compositional elements to create sugg ...

- A Culture Of Benidorm
By: Philip Spires | - Mention Benidorm and with it, by implication, the concepts of package tourism, hotel buffets, British bars with one euro a pint lager, northern English Working Men's Club turns imitating something neither themselves nor their audience have ever been, lobster-impersonating spit-burnt sunbathers and fried English breakfasts with the bacon already coated in tomato sauce, and I would bet that very few punters would auto-associate the phrase cultural experience. More likely, perhaps, migh ...

- Is Banksy Any Good?
By: Mark Brassington | - There are few artists working today whose fame can be attributed as much to their ability to stir up controversy as to how talented they are. Banksy is different.
Not only is his work controversial because it is essentially graffiti, but because his stencilled works of "art' often fetch thousands at auction.
So is Banksy, one of the world's best known artists, a spray-can wielding charlatan or an urban, post-modern prophet?
Despite the fact that his works ar ...

- Rebecca Warren History And His Art Work At The Saatchi-gallery
By: Saatchi-Gallery | - Rebecca Warren's art likewise unites popular and high culture, feministic and psychological debate. All this is not primarily some ironic statement or the offended criticism fired by the traditional male portrayal of the female body. Warren is not actually concerned with these male artists as such, seeking rather to position herself directly as the next in the traditional lineage - maybe the way Kathryn Bigelow can do a Hollywood thriller and at the same time intelligently misrepresent male clic ...
