Neil 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.

I do. Except I stopped to post this and change the music.

It could be any one of these…

neil-gaiman:

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.

neil-gaiman:

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?

luciens-library:

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…

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.

Top Favorite Musicals (No Movies)

Into the Woods (1987)

Music and Lyrics by: Stephen Sondheim
Book by: James Lapine
Based on ‘The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales’ by Bruno Bettelheim

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

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.

It’s a New Year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world.

So this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come, let us be brave – let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we’re faking them.

And whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it. We can find joy in the world if it’s joy we’re looking for, we can take joy in the act of creation.

So that is my wish for you, and for me. Bravery and joy.

“Do not listen to a word I say

Just listen to what I can keep silent

The only way to gain approval

Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me

And I stare at the sky

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes

And this is yesterday

Someone somewhere soon will take care of you

I repent, I’m sorry, everything is falling apart

Houses as ruins and gardens as weeds

Why do anything when you can forget everything

And I stare at the sky

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes

And this is yesterday

I stare at the sky

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes

And this is yesterday”
