2238Neil Gaiman on Alan Moore’s life.
Drawn by the amazing Mark Buckingham. I think we did this for a celebration of Alan’s 50th Birthday.
it is, of course, all true.
Love that final cup of tea image.
Off plane. Very tired and jetlagged. 12,000 sheets of paper to sign…
I’m getting one of these 12,000!
mr. @neilhimself begins the process of signing 12,000 books.
I do. Except I stopped to post this and change the music.
It could be any one of these…
Watch this video. It’s Amanda, giving her talk at TED two days ago. It’s about music and connection and being willing to ask for help…
It got a standing ovation, and you’ll see why.
LOVE this. It’s about help, and giving, and love, and sharing, and touching the heart of others - and yourself.
So happy that my first ever Kickstarter support was for Amanda.
The third of the BlackBerry Keep Moving films, shot in LA about ten days ago. Yes, I really am as tired as I look — the day before I did the 13 hour Chu’s Day signing, then flew to LA… But there are such beautiful shots here of the beach and of the birds…
It opens with me reading the end of the February Tale.
You’ve been keeping up with the Calendar of Tales, right?
The test about women in media is called “the Bechdel Test”. Alison Bechdel, who created the idea, writes comic books (or graphic novels or whatever) herself, and here is my advice to you. Go and find her graphic novel Fun Home. It is mind-blowing and will change everything you thought you knew about comics. She does a bunch of other comics work too, but hot DAMN Fun Home is good. If you like James Joyce or literature or autobiographical writing, go and read it. If you like none of those things, go and read it anyway. It’s a seriously powerful piece of work.
I hadn’t thought about this before…

Doctor Who stamps are coming.
I am definitely living in the wrong country this year.
My UK publishers know where I live and I assume they understand I have certain expectations of them.

And now they’re making a movie?! Why can’t they just show the original on big screens all over the planet? Then everyone could fall in love.
Sooooo biiig…
Get it back!
I was raised to be charming not sincere
And so forth…

Hmmm…. I’m less about elbows, more about degree of hunched shoulders. But the sentiment remains the same!
YES.
I swear to God I’m not just going to use my tumblr to retumbl everything Neil Gaiman posts, but this helpful guide *has* to be widely disseminated.
Mine’s more of a lying down thing by the end, curled into the book…
Crochet Dwarven Helm and Beard by saddayscrochet
Created using the finest mithril threads, it’s a crochet helm! It’s a crochet beard! It’s a combination crochet helm and beard! Blessed by the gods with the finest of man-garnishes on my own face, I have no need for such a garment, but if you wish to assimilate into dwarven culture you might want to quest for one.
