Hello there! I've happened to read this post of yours and I just loved it! You've brilliantly articulated what I've been trying to explain about Supernatural, specifically about one of its most fascinating (at least to me) themes, that is the contrast between the nuclear and the queer family. In the post you've also mentioned "the backlash against the Joseph Campbell Monomyth-style mode of storytelling" and I got super curious since I've been trying to find some resources about alternatives to this type of storytelling. I was wondering if you could be so kind and share the names of some authors, or even some books/papers/articles about this "backlash". I just thought to take my chance and ask you but if it's not okay by you by no means ignore my request :)

thank you anyway for sharing your thoughts on that post, again it was brilliant! Have a nice day ^_^

Hello! Thank you so much for the compliment on my post!

When I say 'backlash against the monomyth', I am talking about conversations in the film school, and with other students, but some of them, as I mentioned, have gone on to make films that set out to subvert the Hero's Journey model of storytelling.

I personally love this piece:

Film Crit Hulk has a bit of a schtick that he's doing and yes, he writes in ALL CAPS, but he's kind of brilliant, actually, writes for some very serious publications, and this is a pretty brilliant summary of the kinds of conversations I heard and had in my University days and just after with members of the Lit and Crit fandom (which is what academics really are) and my then-aspiring filmmaker friends, and with people who were actively involved in shaping careers in Hollywood storytelling.

This is also good:

This is also really worth a read, and talks about the way the monomyth "displays ethnocentric, sexist, heteronormative, and cisnormative biases and it encourages people to ignore the ways in which stories are fundamentally shaped by the cultures and time periods in which they are produced."

As for alternatives, I will now tell you about a book I absolutely love, and cannot recommend highly enough, and that is Jane Alison's book Meander, Spiral, Explode.

EXTREMELY worth the read. Absolutely wonderful.

I also really like Relating Narratives by Adriana Cavarero, which you can read online, here, which is about selfhood and narrative, and actually is not fully relevant, probably, but it's awesome, so I include it.:

Enjoy!

THREE UNCIVILIZED BOOKS

If you ever come to visit me in Philadelphia, particularly if you are a visual artist of some stripe, odds are good I will invite you to visit the Barnes Foundation, home of some very beautiful paintings. A few months ago, I was with a cartoonist, looking at a piece by Pascin, maybe overhearing a docent providing commentary to a tour group, when the idiotic commentary of my own mind said to myself: Hey, didn’t a cartoonist do a cartoon biography of Pascin? Maybe there are copies in the gift shop. There were not, but once I was at home and googled I confirmed the cartoonist in question was Joann Sfar, and this book was published in the U.S. by Uncivilized Books. Months later, the publisher had a big sale on their website, and now that book is in my hands.

The comics biography is a much-maligned genre, for an number of reasons. One particularly egregious offense is telling the story of an artist via a style that gives no indication the storyteller cares about or understands the artist’s work. This, however, is a gorgeously drawn book. The affinity between Sfar feels for Pascin is clear, though pastiche is not attempted, there is still an understanding of the role of brushstroke, and characters struggle with the questions of art in a way that remains unsettled for the cartoonist. There’s a bit late in the book where two painters are discussing drawing from models, and how the goal is to capture the life and motion of a figure so it’s not like a photograph, and has a richness to it, but not to approach this goal the way the cubists go about it. It feels like this is a part of Sfar’s concerns as well, and he is choosing the looseness of a sketchbook approach, with varying materials, as his own way of achieving this aim. The page layouts are sketchbook-style, lacking the sense of forward momentum you get from a grid, but remaining well-timed in their progression across a sequence. To the best of my knowledge, it’s the only book of Sfar’s in English that’s in black and white, and we get to see his decisions unencumbered by color, as he focuses on textures, the body, nudity, eroticism.

The traditional structure of the biography is dispensed with, in favor of telling little stories that work as comics. There isn’t a narrative of cause and effect, of rising and falling fortunes. Rather, a man is who he is, throughout his entire life, and different scenarios illuminate what that means. Sfar really focuses on Pascin as a dude who is either having sex or is drawing women as a way of gratifying himself as an alternative to fucking. In doing so, he turns Pascin into a character, rather than a node in historical time. I am unsure if I favor this approach because I’m a fatalist about human nature and don’t think people change that much over a lifetime, or if I just think that’s what works for comedy and I prefer comedy to drama. Most likely these things are interconnected.

This seems to me the right approach for Pascin, both because a comic works well with cartoon characters as its subject, and because of what it is to be a painter. It has occurred to me, walking through the Barnes, or other museums, that if you are seeing actual paintings, you are seeing them absent a grand historical narrative. An art book, filled with reproductions, can break an oeuvre down into periods, showing examples of each. But in a museum, you take what’s on offer, whether it be sketches or a handful of finished works. It is the rare museum that features enough of an artist’s work a viewer can take in the grand sweep of a career. This offers its own correspondence to what it is to be a person: how a lover has a different perspective on their partner than a close friend would, and parents, coworkers, and casual acquaintances have their own individual takes. While a biographer might seek a full compendium of everyone’s shifting opinions, over a period of years, all this will lead a reader to is the inconclusive conclusion that such-and-such was “a complicated guy.” A portrait of the artist as someone primarily interested in women and their work might not satisfy a biographer, but it is not necessarily inaccurate.

Other artists (Soutine, Hemingway) get walk-on roles and they’re all presented as coherent characters - possessing a degree of psychological depth, but defined by their actions, and usually driven by base desires. Juxtaposing them against each other allows for themes to emerge without the book needing to lapse into narrative captions offering didactic explanations. There’s an episodic structure, and I enjoyed it from the beginning, but with each new chapter I felt like the book was getting better, cutting closer to its subject. It’s a very satisfying reading experience, and made me interested in reading more of Sfar’s work.

Another book I purchased from Uncivilized during this recent sale was Jesse McManus’ The Whistling Factory. Jesse recently gave a talk for the New York Comics Symposium I appreciated for a number of reasons. He is about the same age as I am, and he touched on having read as a kid some of the same black and white kids comics I wrote about in my article for issue 2 of But Is It… Comic Aht. (I still have copies available, if anyone’s interested.) While writing that piece, I had noted that there were similarities between how Jesse approached the cartooned shape and the shadows it cast and Scott Roberts did in his comic Patty Cake. My whole reason for writing that piece was that I feel like these comics were really under-discussed, because despite the nostalgic tendency in comics criticism, that primarily benefits superhero comics, and the comics I was talking about were never that widely-read. Jesse was totally disinterested in superhero comics that get discussed ad nauseam, and his perspective both feels unique to him and familiar to me.

Jesse McManus diverges from me by being very good at drawing, and he goes beyond a lot of people by making a system out of following the logic of squash-and-stretch, taking the Fort Thunder tendency to focus on characters moving in space and applying it to this Kricfalusi-derived shifting of forms. The interest in images-for-their-own-sake abuts an interest in language-for-its-own-sake, and they work in concert to create something just a few feet beyond the fathomable. So many comics are interesting because you can see the artist thinking on paper, but in McManus you see someone who’s been drawing so long that the brain is on paper so fully it feels like the unconscious mind is behind what we’re seeing. Objects seem to flow in and out of being symbols, with new meanings dependent on the context. If Uncivilized feels like a weird publisher because it’s not clear what exactly they publish, besides feeling like the farm league for D+Q, these books seem to take the name of the company literally, in very different ways, to put to paper things that feel half-feral, untamed.

The subject matter of the half-feral arises in Sam Alden’s New Construction, but in order to talk about what makes Alden’s comics interesting to me, I’ve gotta briefly digress: Recently I reread the first two issues of Adrian Tomine’s Optic Nerve, which Drawn And Quarterly published in 1995. In high school, I borrowed a friend’s copy of Sleepwalk, which collected the first four issues of the series, and enjoyed it, vaguely intending to buy my own copy of the collection eventually, and buying all the issues that would later be collected as Summer Blonde. Now I’ve got the first two issues, and I might as well try to find issues 3 and 4 so I can have a complete set of the series in single issue format.

By and large, when I read comics from the 1990s for the first time decades later, there are two reactions I have: “Wow, they don’t make comics like that any more. That was so good, and so strong, in a way I can’t imagine anyone attempting that now” - these are, generally speaking, works that are “edgy” or transgressive in some way: Seven Miles A Second, for instance, or Nurture The Devil (still trying to track down issue 2 of this) or Villa Of The Mysteries. Julie Doucet’s Dirty Plotte fits this bill. Paul Pope was likely not trying to be transgressive, but his P-City Parade is still impressive for how much of a game-changer its approach to visual storytelling would’ve been at the time, and has stuff in it any editorial or self-censoring impulse would blanch at today. In comparison, work that feels inoffensive  often feels sort of boring in a way it likely didn’t at the time: The comics of Michael Dougan, say, which I tracked down after he died, are well-told, but also seem like they benefitted from there not being as much competition at the time. Interestingly, this perspective feels like the opposite of what most people mean when they say work “didn’t age well.” I am not sure if my tastes reflect a hunger for the transgressive for its own sake as much as I am interested in how work reflects the time of its creation, and I remember the nineties well enough to know people were not so well-manicured in their self-presentation as they are in the time of social media. (Again, these things are likely interconnected.)

When I read Optic Nerve, it strikes me as work I liked when I was younger, that was made by someone who was themselves quite young at the time of its creation. One thing that makes the single issues interesting is the letter columns. Tomine was known for having good ones, as his work attracted a special type of weirdo that was comfortable offering their unprompted criticism to strangers. This is another aspect of the nineties which has fallen out of favor: All the criticism seems offered in earnest good faith, as opposed to today, where if someone tags a creator on social media when they’re offering criticism they will be called out for being a dick, people largely thinking of audience feedback within terms of a praise or trolling binary. James Kochalka has a letter in issue two, offering a take on Tomine’s work which has aged like wine, and I will reproduce it in in full:

…I’ve been enjoying your comics, but I’m beginning to find the critics tiresome. To me, it seems like you’re not particularly wise beyond your years. Your comics seem very much like they were written by a young person. You don’t seem particularly extra knowledgeable about what makes human beings tick… To me it seems like you’re as good you are simply because you work very hard at it. Sometimes it almost seems like you’re trying too hard, especially in Optic Nerve #1. It’s drawn with such rigidity. The pictures seem like they’re made almost entirely of vertical lines, with minor horizonals and very inconsequential diagonals and curves. To  me it seems like the stories don’t automatically call to be treated in this manner. Rather, it seems like your desire to appear “professional” is having a restricting effect on your drawing hand. Please, flow freely into your work.

Tom Kaczynski, the future publisher of Uncivilized Books, also writes in, saying “…I did find this issue to be bit awkward in execution. Some panels, it seemed, you were unsure of. I don’t know what is causing it. In the past, you seemed to have certain confidence in the line of the brush (especially on the “Smoke” story) which seems to be repressed under the tightened inks.”

I bring up these things to note that Sam Alden, similarly, was perceived as a young cartoonist for a minute there, and his stories in New Construction seem very well-observed in capturing young adults and subculture. He would’ve been a bit older than Tomine was. (These letters were written in 1995, when Tomine would’ve been 21, the stories in New Construction would’ve been made, I think, when Alden was in his late twenties.) Tomine’s work is about young people as somewhat repressed, lonely, aching to find their place in the world. Alden’s characters, a little bit older, have found comfort in subculture but are not necessarily great at navigating the world they’ve chosen for themselves, which might be harmful to them. Contained in the contrast between the two is a Generation X-er’s ability to enter into the world of professionalism, albeit with trepidation, as Tomine himself approximates the literary short story, and gets gigs doing illustration for The New Yorker, while Alden documents the sort of extended adolescence millennials fell into in the absence of other options.

Sam Alden is by no means unemployable: He worked on Adventure Time at the time he made New Construction, and his earlier comic Haunter is the sort of post-Fort-Thunder genre comic that might earn someone such a gig. The two stories in New Construction, on the other hand, are literary fiction: One, Backyard, follows a group of young people living together in a house in New Orleans, where one person has stopped speaking altogether, and now communicates only in barks, and has moved to the backyard. Everyone is accepting this in the manner of open-minded young people, doing the best they can, noting she seems a lot happier now. The other story follows two siblings, also living in New Orleans, who have gone through a traumatic with their parent in the past and are ill-equipped for the larger world, and are having an incestuous relationship. They are much looser in their visual approach than you see in a Tomine comic, with scanning and printing technology developing enough in the intervening decades that Alden can work directly in pencil. He really nails the texture of water at night. The elliptical quality to his comics seems oriented towards the visual, towards capturing a gesture or atmosphere, something that might be elusive if attempting to recall it later, making for comics that feel decidedly immediate. Alden self-released a book called Sledgehammer digitally at the end of 2022, and my distaste for paying for digital comics has prevented me from reading it. I should get over this. It’s probably pretty good.

We all need to find a way to negotiate the digital space. It’s funny that Uncivilized proprietor Tom K, as he is known in shorthand, shares a surname with the Unabomber. It’s less funny that the company’s website does not offer anything in the way of interior art previews to show what these comics look like, which is almost certainly a big part of why I didn’t read them until they were deeply discounted. Images are from Uncivilized Books included in this post partly to remedy this problem, although they of course have far more comics that I have not read and have no idea what their art looks like. The images from mid-nineties comics I highlighted are included as part of my general largesse.

Ilocano Lit| A Reflection of Us, Ilocanos

Literature is one of a kind. It opens opportunities for us readers to take a break from reality to places we've never been or will never be. Just by reading with our wide imagination, we will not only be entertained, but we will also gain knowledge, lessons about life and understanding of the world including the people around us. However, have you heard of the richness of Ilocano literature? 

"Iloko" is the language while "Ilocano" refers to the people who speak the Iloko language and lives in the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and certain sections of Pangasinan, Tarlac, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, and Nueva Ecija. There are also some Ilocanos in Apayao, Kalinga, Ifugao, and Mountain Province. The entire region is sometimes called “Ilocandia” or the “Ilocos Region”.

The term Ilocano originates from i-, "from", and looc, "cove or bay", thus "people of the bay." A families and clans arrived by viray or bilog, meaning "boat". Ilocanos also refer to themselves as Samtoy, a contraction from the Ilokano phrase sao mi ditoy, "our language here".

One of the reasons why Ilocanos are known is because of the richness of their literature. In fact, it is believed by scholars to be the richest and most highly developed in the Philippines. 

Ilocano literature are the literary works written in foreign or Philippine languages by the Ilocano ancestry writers. It is one of the several regional Philippine literatures. Ilocano literature, next to Tagalog and Philippine Literature in English, is one of the most active tributaries to the general Philippine literature.

Want to know how Ilocano literature developed? Let's see its historical background.

Folk songs, riddles, proverbs, lamentations called dung-aw, and epic tales in written or oral form made up the pre-colonial Iloco literature. The dallot, a long, spontaneous poetry given in a sing-song style, was a form of expression used by ancient Ilokano poets along with folk and battle songs.

During the Spanish regime, Iloko poetry was generally patterned after Spanish models. In fact, the earliest known written Iloko poems were the romances translated from Spanish by Francisco Lopez, an Augustinian friar who, in 1621, published his own Iloko translation of the Doctrina Cristiana by Cardinal Bellarmine, the first book to be printed in Iloko.

During the 18th century, the missionaries used both religious and secular literatures among other means to advance in order to further their goal of converting the Ilocanos to Christianity.

The comedia, otherwise known as the moro-moro, and the zarzuela were presented for the first time in the Ilocos in the 19th century. The comedia, a highly picturesque presentation of the wars between Christians and Muslims, and the zarzuela, an equally picturesque depiction of what is at once melodrama, comic-opera, and the skit interminably preoccupied with the eternal theme of boy-meets-girl-who-always-live-happily-ever-after-against-seemingly-impossible-odds are still as popular today as they were when first staged in the Ilocos.

Today, there is a sizable body of Ilocano literature, including newspapers and periodicals like the Bannawag.

What's more interesting about Ilocano literature is that there is one piece that survived in the Spanish colonial period and still shines up to now!

Who wouldn't know the oldest, yet greatest Ilocano epic, Biag ni Lam-ang? 

An illustration depicting the protagonist Lam-ang.

For many generations, Biag ni Lam-ang (The Life of Lam-ang) has been passed down orally, then it was later written down and documented during the Spanish Colonial era in the Philippines. It is notable for incorporating Roman Catholic elements into the piece, such as references by the characters of Lam-ang and Ines Kannoyan to marriage as a sacrament. 

It tells the story of Lam-ang's life from avenging his father's murder, to being eaten by the water monster Berkakan, to being reborn and living happily ever after with his love, Ines Kannoyan. Furthermore, the epic poem showed some of the customs, culture, tradition and belief of the Ilocano people of the Philippines, including how they value their family. The story also presented some of the qualities of the people of the Ilocos region such as adventurous, hardy, and brave, loyal as strongly portrayed by Lam-ang.

Ilocano literature indeed has a special place in everyone's heart. This treasure of ours portrays Ilocano's ways of life, beliefs, cultures, traditions, customs, behaviors, ways of thinking, and many more amazing facts about Ilocanos. This literature speaks about who we are, what we are, and what we used to be. Thus, Ilocano literature is the life and identity of Ilocanos.

You will gain sympathy from others, understanding about differences, lessons about life and it will open your mind as to what reality is all about. Ilocano literature will change you in a good way. 

In conclusion, Ilocano literature brings out the best version of ourselves which contributes to making the world a better place to live. A place that is peaceful, sorrounded by love, full of kindness, free from discrimination, and where everyone is open minded, understanding and normalize differences. We can easily have access to a wide range of information in this generation. At this point, use any various means to feed yourself more information about Ilocano literature such as the technology which includes the internet, mobile applications, gadgets and various social media sites etc. 

Read and read and read Ilocano literature.

How Decorative Bookends Can Add Character to Any Room

Decorative bookends are more than just practical tools for organizing books; they are a gateway to enhancing the aesthetic appeal and personality of any room. Whether you lean towards the timeless allure of antique bookends or the charming quirks of vintage styles, the right set of bookends can transform an ordinary space into a captivating visual story. Let's delve into how vintage, antique, and decorative bookends can infuse character and style into your home's decor.

The Charm of Vintage Bookends

Vintage bookends bring a sense of history and nostalgia that can warm up any modern space. These pieces often reflect the design trends and craftsmanship of the periods they come from, making them not only functional but also a piece of history. Whether it’s Art Deco designs from the 1920s, Mid-century Modern geometric shapes, or the intricate florals of the Victorian era, vintage bookends can act as a focal point on any shelf or table. Placing them in a contemporary setting adds a layer of contrast that highlights both the old and the new elements in your decor, creating a dynamic and visually interesting environment.

Elegance Through Antique Bookends

Antique bookends are prized for their craftsmanship and the stories they carry from generation to generation. Often made from luxurious materials like marble, bronze, or hand-carved wood, antique bookends not only hold your literature but also elevate your home’s aesthetic. These timeless pieces can seamlessly blend into a sophisticated decor scheme or stand out as a statement piece in a minimalist room. By incorporating antique bookends, you’re not just decorating a space; you’re honoring craftsmanship and the enduring beauty of the past, adding a profound level of sophistication and elegance to any room.

The Versatility of Decorative Bookends

Decorative bookends come in endless designs, each capable of adding a unique touch to your home. From modern sculptures and abstract art pieces to thematic models that reflect your personal interests, these bookends are as versatile as they are functional. Decorative bookends serve as perfect conversation starters and can be matched with the room’s theme to enhance its character. For example, a pair of globe-shaped bookends may complement a travel-themed study, while animal-shaped bookends could add a whimsical touch to a child’s bedroom or a rustic living room.

Creating a Cohesive Look

Integrating decorative bookends into your home decor helps create a cohesive look that ties together various elements of a room. They can echo the colors and textures present in the space, or provide a striking juxtaposition that draws the eye. Moreover, strategically placing bookends can help balance visual weight across a bookshelf or mantle, adding both stability and style.

Functionality Meets Art

In many modern homes where space is at a premium, decorative bookends maximize functionality without sacrificing style. They make excellent use of vertical storage spaces, turning a simple book collection into an art display. This blend of utility and aesthetics is especially important in smaller living areas, where every decor choice needs to be both purposeful and visually appealing.

Conclusion

Decorative bookends, be they vintage, antique, or uniquely modern, offer more than just book organization. They infuse personality, elegance, and history into your living spaces. Whether you’re redecorating a room or searching for that perfect piece to complete your interior, consider how a simple addition like a pair of decorative bookends can transform the overall character of your environment. Remember, the best interiors are those that reflect the tastes and stories of those who live in them, and decorative bookends are a perfect tool to do just that.

Maximizing Space and Comfort with Bunk Beds Twin Over Full

They offer a pragmatic way to maximize floor space while providing comfortable sleeping arrangements, especially in homes where space is at a premium. Among the various configurations available, the bunk bed twin over full option shines as a versatile choice, catering to both juveniles and adults alike. Let's delve deeper into the benefits and considerations surrounding this popular furniture piece.

Space Optimization:

One of the primary advantages of bunk beds, particularly the twin over full design, is their ability to efficiently utilize vertical space. By stacking two beds on top of each other, these bunk beds liberate valuable floor space that can be utilized for other activities or furnishings. This is especially advantageous in smaller bedrooms, apartments, or vacation homes where every square foot counts.

Accommodating Different Needs:

The twin over full configuration offers versatility in accommodating different sleeping preferences and needs. The top bunk typically features a twin-sized mattress, suitable for adolescents, teenagers, or single adults. Meanwhile, the bottom bunk boasts a larger full-sized mattress, providing ample space for couples or individuals who prefer extra room to stretch out comfortably. This flexibility makes the bunk bed twin over full ideal for families with children of varying ages or guest rooms where multiple guests may stay at different times.

Enhanced Functionality:

Beyond their primary function as sleeping quarters, bunk beds twin over full often come with additional features that enhance their functionality. Some models feature built-in storage drawers or shelves, providing convenient space for storing bedding, clothes, toys, or books. This integrated storage helps keep the room tidy and organized, eliminating the need for extra furniture pieces like dressers or nightstands.

Stylish Designs:

Modern bunk beds are available in a wide array of styles, materials, and finishes to complement any decor scheme. Whether you prefer sleek and contemporary designs or rustic and farmhouse-inspired aesthetics, there's a bunk bed twin over full to suit your taste. From metal frames with clean lines to wooden bunk beds with intricate detailing, you can find a design that adds visual appeal to your space while serving its practical purpose.

Safety Considerations:

While bunk beds are undeniably space-saving and functional, safety should always be a top priority, especially when children are involved. When purchasing a bunk bed twin over full, ensure that it meets safety standards and regulations, including sturdy construction, guardrails on the top bunk, and secure ladders or stairs for accessing the upper bed. Additionally, it's essential to educate children about safe usage practices, such as avoiding rough play on the beds and using the ladder/stairs carefully.

Assembly and Maintenance:

Assembling a bunk bed twin over full may necessitate some time and effort, depending on the complexity of the design. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and enlist the help of another person, if necessary, to ensure safe and proper assembly. Once assembled, regular maintenance is essential to prolong the lifespan of the bunk bed. This includes periodic tightening of screws and bolts, inspecting for any signs of wear or damage, and keeping the bed clean and free of dust and debris.

Conclusion:

Bunk beds twin over full offer a practical and stylish solution for maximizing space without compromising on comfort or style. Whether used in children's bedrooms, guest rooms, or vacation homes, these versatile furniture pieces cater to a wide range of sleeping needs and preferences. By considering factors such as space optimization, functionality, safety, and maintenance, you can choose a bunk bed twin over full that seamlessly integrates into your living space while providing years of reliable use and enjoyment.

This is the league of extraordinary gentlemen comic book that was a novelisation of the script from the movie of the same name, written by James Dale Robinson, which itself was based on the comic by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill. Above are four comic book covers that go back to early 1900s to modern 2009, I like that in each cover they embrace the artistic styles of the time period, the first one has the big frame with a circular image in the middle with bland darker colours that would match that dreary time period, for the 1969 version its bursting with colour which I really like because its expressive an psychedelic, and then the 2009 version is edgier and has a more sharper art style and in my opinion doesn't look to good with the green, its eye catching for sure.

This is a cartoonish like model of a literal Rat king with a crown, the rat itself is chubby keeled over eating a piece of cheese...even though this piece of cheese is actually a full cheese wheel so in actuality this rat is very large and is deserving of his royal crown, the paint on this model is a basic coating of grey with an undercoat of black to highlight the grey, the cheese is a bright yellow but isn't realistic enough to make me hungry, I think the floor boards could have a small dousing of black because its a bit too strong but overall the model looks good but personally I wouldn't go for this style.

This rat looks more realistic than the last model with the eyes, I could've used that for my model to make it easier however I doubt that there would have been black eyes with red dots so I improvised. The face was on point but the fur is lacking, its good as a base line but doesn't look the best, too choppy.

This isn't a rat but the main thing to take away from this model is that its fur is on point, particularly around its elbows and belly, it flows all around the body rather than in all directions, its position is matching its theme, that being an orangutang.

Steven Stagmeister - Stefan Sagmeister is a New York-based graphic designer and typographer who is best known for his album covers, posters and his uniquely packaged and designed books. He has designed album covers for Lou Reed, OK Go, The Rolling Stones, David Byrne, Aerosmith and Pat Metheny.

Above is one of his pieces, it features a man looking either very worried or more likely staring down fiercely at the camera for an album cover, the most striking part of this cover is the Octopus tentacle's spiralling around his head and spelling out some words that I cannot decipher, I like the fact that the face is eye catching, achieving this by vignetting the background and making the tentacles a bright red, however I don't really like how the tentacles are modelled, it looks like it was made by an A.I. which looks naff.

This one I like a lot more because the font is simple and sweet, plain black background, with a wiggly worm like stripy text that isn't distracting but straight to the point and bold. For a book cover you would use something more like this but that doesn't mean text cant produced in a creative way for example, merging the background and the text together.

Recycle more beautifully

In blocks: Sabine Marcelis, the Dutch designer with a penchant for marble, is visiting London.

Miu Miu upcycles biker jackets, the brass band La Brass Banda composes a beer, and the city's creative scene presents itself at the London Design Festival. The style news of the week

Farewell atmosphere on the Thames: hundreds of thousands want to pay their last respects to Elizabeth II at the coffin, the queue is kilometres long. Those who make their way to the British capital on a Queen memorial tour have definitely a second reasons to travel. Next week, the London Design Festival presents exhibitions, installations and events that showcase the city's creative scene. The program is again unmistakably diverse, and those who don't want to just drift through one of the "design districts", be it in Mayfair or on Pimlico Road, should plan their visit carefully. In 2019, 600,000 guests from 75 countries came, and for the twentieth edition of this year, the huge design party is also supposed to send a message to politicians: the pandemic and Brexit have brought the industry a "catastrophic step backwards". It is now a matter of not to jeopardise the promotion of London's "creative and artistic leadership", according to a statement. Highlights include the walk-through installation "Into Sight," that promises a multi-sensory experience with shifting light, colour, and sound effects, and a work by the widely acclaimed Dutch artist Sabine Marcelis, that aims to invite a new look at London's Brutalist architecture[1].

Broad shoulders, soft collar: a motorcycle jacket from Miu Miu's upcycling collection.

Recycling in the luxury version, something like Miuccia Prada can of course afford. Search the global vintage market for exactly 50 particularly cool leather jackets, have them made a little prettier by hand in the studio with fur and glitter, add the logo - and the Miu Miu upcycling collection is complete. After a first line of used clothes from the 1930s to 1980s, that were redesigned in the style of the Italian brand, and a cooperation with Levis, the biker jackets turned inside out are now also about changing the image of classic motorcycle gear. The embellished second-hand pieces were photographed for the campaign with models on gleaming chrome machines - but with their beadwork and collars made of soft fur, they look anything but masculine[2].

Colourful and Bavarian: "Love Beer", designed by La Brass Banda.

The band La Brass Banda has been around for 15 years and is centred around chief trumpeter Stefan Dettl. They have been a favourite piece of music for many Bavarians for almost the same period, and their rousing concerts in particular are entertaining at a high level with a mixture of love of their homeland and cosmopolitanism. You should not only be able to hear the idiosyncratic style, you should also be able to drink it. In any case, the barefoot band has brought their own beer onto the market together with the Weißbierbrauerei Schneider[3]: The "Love Beer" not only looks hippy-trended in its colourful bottle, Its aromas also read merrily and wildly: the wheat beer is said to transport notes of gooseberries and white elderflower, made possible by the interaction of the aroma hops "Nelson Sauvin" with the local variety "Herkules". The band beer is available in selected beverage shops and restaurants, as can be read on this love beer map[4].

In "The Camera" the photographer Elfie Semotan talks about the models who have accompanied her in her life.

"A Different Kind of Beauty" is the title of the autobiography of the great photographer Elfie Semotan[5]. The Austrian became known in the 90s with her photos for magazines such as i-D and Interview, photographed the campaigns of her best friend Helmut Lang, was married to the artists Kurt Kocherscheidt and Martin Kippenberger. In the book "The Camera" that is now being published, one gets another very special insight into her life: through the respective camera lenses with which she has worked over the years. For example the Nikon: Semotan's first camera, given to her by Canadian photographer John Cook, then her partner. "In the beginning I was always much too fast. I saw something and started straight away: Well, I have to take a picture of that very quickly now. Nonsense!" Or the Polaroid, which she also used from the start: "For certain people, the Polaroid was really the medium. I've already seen what it can do. It's total seduction, which I've forbidden myself to give in to because for me It's not possible, I have the feeling that I would only rely on the aesthetics, and I don't allow myself that, that's very important." In conversation with the writer Ferdinand Schmatz, she talks about the respective models who have accompanied her on her way, and of course you can see and learn a lot about the art of her photography. The book is the start of the new series "Things of Life"[6] (18 euros).

So-called sterile packaging from hospitals is used for Vepa chairs.

Somewhere upcycling has its limits, this thought is probably the natural reaction to this news from the Netherlands: There, the furniture manufacturer Vepa presented the first chair made from "surgical waste". But don't worry, for the seats and backrests of the "Blue Finn" model only the sterile material in which medical instruments were packed is used. In hospitals, large amounts of so-called "bluewrap packaging"[7] regularly accumulate as waste, which can be easily recycled. The result is minimalist stackable multipurpose chairs and bar stools for cafeterias, waiting areas and lecture rooms. The blue colour is reminiscent of the earlier life of the plastic. In the spirit of the circular economy, all individual parts can be easily separated and then recycled again.
