Once again, I’ve been busy trying to crowdfund short film Death Is No Bad Friend about Robert Louis Stevenson. Please take a look at our Hatchfund campaign here : hatchfund.org/project/death_is_no_bad_friend.
Last month, I had an amazing time as a guest speaker for Wendall K. Harrington’s “Visual Storytelling” course at Yale University School of Drama. You can read more about it here (gegallas.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/yale-december-2014) and here (gegallas.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/yale-december-2014-yale-center-for-british-art-and-yale-university-art-gallery).

I was asked by Zool Verjee, deputy manager at Blackwell’s Bookshop in Oxford, to write an article for their Inspired by Blake blog! Inspired by Blake is a two-week William Blake Festival (January 18th – 31st, 2015) “…celebrating the magnificent and visionary painter, poet, thinker and icon…” that “…ties in with…” the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology’s exhibition “William Blake: Apprentice and Master” (December 2014 – March 2015).

You can read my article “William Blake: Master of the Graphic Novel” here: inspiredbyblake.co.uk/#!William-Blake-Master-of-the-Graphic-Novel/cb1a/08DC1174-ECBD-49A4-8076-FDCAC1A8E1DB.
