THIS BLOG POST MAY NOT BE AS MORBID AS THE TITLE MIGHT SUGGEST. ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT. I SUPPOSE IT COULD DEPEND ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW. I love death. Not the twisted arms and legs, torso cut into pieces, struck down by a heart attack, kind of death, but a particular character in a series of books by a now ( sadly ) deceased author. And if you haven't figured it out, his name was Terry Pratchett. But this isn't really about Sir Pterry, or even Discworld. Its about appropriation. I didn't mean to steal this character, and two others ( The death of Rats, and Quoth the raven he rides on ) for my own nefarious ends. It happened some years ago, sort of by accident. Few people can fail to have encountered those posters who, WRITE IN ALL CAPS, NO MATTER WHAT THE TOPIC. Usually making statements and claims one thinks are, lets say 'odd'. ( Or.. flying mammal poo bonkers ) And I am no exception. And every time I have, the first thought in my head was of Sir Pterr...

And I read this. * A t last,   S ir   T erry, we must walk together. Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night. The End. And the tingles started in the nape of my neck, ran right down my back, and up across my scalp, pulling the skin at my temples, and tears welled in my eyes. Some time ago I made the video in the following link,  Friends and fans.   ** In which I described meeting Sir Pterry, and why I thought he had millions of friends, rather than millions of fans. Don't take me wrong, I am a huge Tolkien fan, also CS Lewis *** and others, but it always seems like Sir Pterry leaped out of the page, no matter what ...

My anti cold caller poster.

Some more art from the vault. The luggage in pursuit of Rincewind.

Another from the archives. Jason Ogg shoes Binky: can you hear the Ant?

Another piece of art from the archives as it were.

After some consideration: thought I would add some of my artwork. In this case Great A'Tuin.
