Spring

Wow, April moved quickly. I am back from the dead. (Pixels Via: @ichigo-tan).

Anyway, I've been enjoying loish's new book, it's incredible. I also found another great find, Hansel and Gretel and Other Stories, illustrated by Kay Nielsen. I'll try to post photos when I get it in.  If you haven't heard of Nielsen, he was an illustrator in the Golden Age of Illustration.  Worked for Disney for a while.  His lithographs for In Powder and Crinoline and Twelve Dancing Princesses are godly. Here are some of them: Kay Nielsen Illustrations

I was thinking about life as an INFJ personality, based on the Jungian psychological types. It's the lowest percentage personality, and perhaps phasing out due to our oversensitive neurological instabilities. However, we are amazingly perceptive to people and surroundings and spend far to much time within our own heads. I was reading about how as writers INFJ tend to have trouble making a connection to the outside world. A bit like being in a fishbowl you can't swim out of.

Artistically, I've felt that way for a while, especially with all this cancer crap making expression more difficult. I know I've talked about it some, it's not really an art block as much as a lostness of self. It dawned on me I have to find some connectivity, some way to get outside the bowl to the outside world. How does one get out of a metaphorical fishbowl and become a land breather? With tomes of ancient texts piling all around me, I realize the answer is in the Fairy Tales I loved so much as a child and now. So from now own you will see me doing a lot of work with those.
