Editorial – Aug 2021: Is ‘average’ to wide or too narrow a definition?
Hello everyone What is ‘identity’ in the modern world? Having had a problem of proof of identity for something I didn’t really regard as pointy, wax carving tools, bought for shaping model filler, compared to other things I’ve bought with the long river website where I have neither a driving licence – don’t drive, not […]

Probably the ‘Dragon Art’ book from FlameTree recently and curious enough to see if there was and then found this book, ‘Myth & Magic: The Art Of John Howe’. There is an introduction by director Peter Jackson who explains he was inspired by Howe’s work […]
The Prisoner: An Illustrated History by Andrew Pixley (book review).
I pulled this book, ‘The Prisoner: An Illustrated History’ by Andrew Pixley, last year and with my current ‘Psi-Kicks’ storyline drawing tags from ‘The Prisoner’ TV series coming to an end, thought it might be a good idea to fit this book in, just in case I missed anything.

Read The Small Print: a short but millennia-expanding story by: GF Willmetts.
It was the middle of the 22st century that the human genetic code was broken and we could have extended lives. It took many years later to understood what it all meant as we explored all the genetic code. Well, as much as we could in the time. So little of the code was actually […]
