This art is interesting and very different. That coffee sure does look good. I bet it was nice for the two of you to get away and have a good breakfast at the café.

Thank you for sharing...Turner paintings are great! Thank you for sharing your story of working at DC Comics. I had never heard of them either, until the information sessions re the Exhibition. That sounds fun placing the speech balloons, but would soon become repetitive I think. The technology has changed everything, and plays a huge role in enabling them to create the Marvel universe of films. <br />Unfortunately I have to report that the history of treatment towards Aboriginal people was no better than in other colonised nations. It is an ongoing issue, around land rights, and past and present injustices. There was an official Government apology by our Prime Minister in 2008.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-81207900576536735282017-06-11T23:56:11.666-07:002017-06-11T23:56:11.666-07:00Now that is a Good Plan, Sarah Liz.

Funny how much the storm nature photos look like Turner School paintings. They are lovely to see, though not experience for real.<br /><br />I once worked in the editorial department, not at Marvel, but at its competitor, DC Comics. I wasn't crazy about comics, though I chatted with Neil Gaiman a couple of times when he wrote his series for DC Comics and came to hang out in the editorial offices. He was lovely to have a conversation with, but comics were not my thing. One of my editorial jobs was to draw the speech balloons on the comic board layouts -- i.e. decide where they would go, place them with a pen, then the board went to an inker, who colored them. I so hated this task, and bet with the advancement of technology, it's not done in the same tedious way nowadays. Sometimes an artist would draw so much in the panals, it was not easy to decide where to put the speech ballooms.<br /><br />As an American, I'm fascinated by Aboriginal people. I hope they have been treated with more respect then we have shown to our Native Americans. <br /><br />Looks like a delicous meal, and it's good to know that Mr. C has recovered enough to venture outside of the home to enjoy it.<br /><br /><br />Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-24427076455605226062017-06-11T21:45:13.962-07:002017-06-11T21:45:13.962-07:00I am so pleased your DH is doing well - in due cou...I am so pleased your DH is doing well - in due course, he will be able to escort you somewhere nice so that you can wear the beautiful Style Arc Duchess Dress.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-15526650811476423162017-06-11T18:29:45.556-07:002017-06-11T18:29:45.556-07:00I love the sculpture and the honor that it represe...I love the sculpture and the honor that it represents for the Aboriginal people.
