SILENT BUT DEADLY by Mark Tatulli

If you ever have had the experience of being caught off guard with the most hilarious moment and laughing so hard that you blew grape juice (or whatever you were drinking) through your nose , I can guarantee you that you will have a comparable repeat laughter outburst with Silent But Deadly: Another Lio Collection .

So…

You have been warned.

No fluids (or Cocoa Puffs) while reading this book.

Artist, Mark Tatulli, creates a silent world filled with the dark imagination of a little boy, Liō; a child that happens to love his pet squid, monsters, and a crabby little girl named Eva.

Tatulli’s creation is wonderfully original, yet reflects some of the bizarre humor of my personal favorites like: Gary Larson, Berkeley Breathed , and Charles Addams .

Although I am usually very generous about sharing books from my personal library, Silent But Deadly: Another Lio Collection, is staying right here with me.

Nope…

you can’t have my copy,
and I’ll send an undead bunny after you if you try to take it!

Interview with Mark Tatulli

Born Into Brothels: Photographs by the Children of Calcutta by Zana Briski

This is my thinking chair.

It is an old kitchen chair given to me by one of my sisters .

It was originally black with the paint faded and worn around the edges.

I saw a documentary called BORN INTO BROTHELS.




I was inspired by bountiful colors from the film and its companion book.

The color scheme reminds me of the unwavering hope of so many of the children being raised in desperate circumstances.

Like a lotus flower blooming in the mud.

So, I painted my chair to symbolize hope.
To bloom from where I have been planted.

The seat cover is my first crochet project. It is pulled together from bits and scraps of yarn I had found laying about in the bottom of craft bins; reminds me of how I pull bits and scraps of information and emotions together when I write.

So there it is...
my thinking chair.
Inspired by the beuty of Zana Briski and the children of INdia.

And now I am going to sit here and think my thoughts.
And while I am thinking today, I dwell upon the wonder of a photographer who came to India. She came to India to photograph the women of the brothels, and fulfilled a need for the children of these women.
Here program is called Kids with Cameras.
The documentary about this work won the Academy Award in 2005.
