#Alison O’Sullivan

[lilolilyr]

Ok I know I am definitely reaching here but cousin Alison from the St Clare’s books = homosexual behavior

Args I should’ve live-blogged this from the start! I was binge re-reading these children‘s books all week and I’m for the first time realizing how incredibly crush-like Alison’s behavior towards the woman and girls she’s obsessed with is - like yes she tends to like them for superficial reasons and the other girls rightly make fun of her for being a feather-head and always falling for people who turn out to be shallow and not so nice… but that she keeps falling for pretty girls in the first place? Over and over again, every book? No Heterosexual Explanation dot jpeg

It starts in the second book she’s in, Summer Term at St. Clare’s, with “her precious Sadie.” who’s quickly the only one whose opinion she values and the only thing she’ll talk about, as the other characters notice, “She's like a gramophone record always set to say" Sadie says. . . . Sadie says . . . Sadie says . .”, and it keeps going throughout all the books adsfg

Case in point:

- ‘Miss Quentin certainly was extremely good looking. She had black piercing eyes, and a beautiful voice. Alison thought she was wonderful.’ ‘The class disliked Miss Quentin's “dears” and “lambs” and other names-except Alison. She loved them’ and the ‘sugared words of praise she felt sure would drop from Miss Quentin's lips.’ ‘Alison loved to wear anything that even remotely resembled her beloved Miss Quentin's belongings.’ ‘She waited round corners for her, hoping for a smile. She hung on every word the teacher said.’ (About a teacher in book 4)

- ‘Fern blushed and Alison, looking at the pretty, dainty girl with approval, stepped forward. “Fern!” she said with her charming smile. “What a pretty name!”’ ‘“Well, Alison, I can’t understand what you see in Rachel, to be honest,’ said Fern in her high, pretty voice. ‘But as it’s so important to you, I really will make an effort to be nice to her.’ She smiled her sweetest smile, which a delighted Alison returned with one of her own. … Alison was content, and made up her mind to speak to Rachel later. Perhaps they could be a threesome after all.’ (Fellow students in book 5 - and yes I’m laughing at the use of the word threesome xD)

-‘Margaret was a remarkably good-looking girl’… ‘Alison said nothing, staring raptly at Margaret’s retreating figure’ … “Alison, don’t say you’re going to lose your silly heart to Margaret” (an older student in book 6)

- ‘Alison leaned over the banisters-and, just as the others had guessed, she immediately lost her heart to the new girl. “She looks like a princess from a fairy-tale,” said Alison’ (fellow student in book 7)

-‘She had graceful, dramatic gestures, which filled Alison’s romantic soul with delight’ … “Alison, you’re not going to lose your heart to her, are you?” … “Why isn’t Miss Willcox the right person?” said Alison trying to speak coldly, though she felt very hot and cross “She’s clever, she’s written the most marvelous poetry, she’s got a lovely deep voice, and she’s most picturesque-looking.” … ‘thought that their beloved Miss Willcox looked lovely with her dark soulful eyes flashing’ (about a female teacher in book 8)

Femme 4 Femme Alison O’Sullivan confirmed

Okay, here are my thoughts on the Hallmark Mystery movies and Hallmark+ programming!

Hallmark Mystery

🎄 This Time Each Year  Premiere Date: Thursday, Oct. 24 at 8/7c Cast: Alison Sweeney, Niall Matter Premise: Lauren (Sweeney) and Kevin (Matter) were once happily married and thriving as a family but the couple has spent almost the past year in a trial separation and are working hard to co-parent their young son Charlie (Ezra Wilson). Kevin is determined to make their family whole again and it’s clear he and Lauren still care for each other deeply. When Lauren’s mother (Laura Soltis) suddenly comes into town, she asks Kevin to pretend they’re still together as she hasn’t yet broken the news to her. As they try to keep up this ruse, they begin to remember what life was like and Lauren sees the strides Kevin has made to get back on the right path and just maybe, this holiday will be a season of healing and bring happiness back into their lives.

This sounds very sweet.

🎄 My Sweet Austrian Holiday  Premiere Date: Thursday, Oct. 31 at 8/7c Cast: Brittany Bristow, Will Kemp Premise: Charlotte (Bristow) is an American, who has lived in Vienna since inheriting a chocolate shop from her grandparents two years ago. Since then, she has worked tirelessly to grow the business into a successful enterprise. Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year and Charlotte has been selected as one of the finalists for Vienna’s chocolatier of the year. Taking home the prize could provide some much-needed money to fend off a large developer from taking over her grandparents’ shop. Charlotte soon meets and befriends Henry (Kemp), and they bond over their shared affinity for quality chocolate. But a surprising twist of fate just might end their newfound relationship on a bittersweet note.

Let me guess. Is he the developer? I feel like this movie doesn't quite belong in this group. I don't care for Britt but I do love Will so hopefully it'll be enjoyable.

🎄 Five Gold Rings  Premiere Date: Thursday, Nov. 7 at 8/7c Cast: Holland Roden, Nolan Gerard Funk Premise: When New York City painter Audrey Moss (Roden) returns to her small Minnesota hometown for the holidays, she’s met with an unexpected quest from her beloved late grandmother: find the owners of five mysterious gold rings and return them to their rightful homes before Christmas morning, only nine days away. In her bequeathment, Grandma also urges Audrey to team up with local private investigator and childhood friend, Finn O’Sullivan (Funk). From gingerbread house building to the annual Giving Gala, these two begin to bond over more than just their quest. As Audrey and Finn unravel the mystery of the missing rings’ owners, they discover there is more to their relationship than they ever expected to find.

Holland is one of my absolute faves so I'm excited for this one. I love a little holiday quest!

🎄 A Reason for the Season  Premiere Date: Thursday, Nov. 14 at 8/7c Cast: Taylor Cole, Kevin McGarry Premise: In order to earn her trust fund, Evie (Cole) is tasked with granting Christmas wishes to the people who saved her life on the night of her birth. To aid in her cause, she employs Kyle (McGarry), a handsome local attorney, to track down those who helped and attempts to secretly learn what they might want while maintaining her anonymity. With Christmas fast approaching, the heiress and the attorney can’t resist falling for each other’s charms as they ramp up their gift giving efforts. But as time ticks down, will she be able to accomplish the mission and grant all of the wishes by Christmas Eve?

What an interesting plot! I think these two will be really great together.

🎄 A Novel Noel  Premiere Date: Thursday, Nov. 21 at 8/7c Cast: Julie Gonzalo, Brendan Penny Premise: A successful New York City book editor (Gonzalo), who is losing touch with her passion after a few setbacks this year learns she was chosen to run a bookstore in the small town of Saint Ives for the month of December. While realizing a childhood dream, but butting heads with the handsome son (Penny) of the bookstore owners, she comes to realize that her love for bringing out the creativity of others is still her true calling, and untapped talent (and love) can be found anywhere… even in the writings of a cranky business-minded man, especially at Christmas.

Sounds cute and cozy.

🎄 Christmas Under the Lights  Premiere Date: Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 8/7c Cast: Heather Hemmens, Marco Grazzini Premise: Emily (Hemmens) is always reluctant to return home to her family’s animal rescue ranch — but when her mother passes away, her brother Nick requests her help organizing the annual Christmas Carnival. When she arrives, she discovers Nick’s friend, Luke (Grazzini), staying at the ranch — and that Luke was once a successful artist who works with light. Though initially reluctant to collaborate, Emily and Luke work hard to pull off the best, most light-filled carnival the town has ever seen, a healing celebration of Emily’s mother’s legacy and the magic of Christmas — and along the way feel sparks of romance as radiant as the lights themselves.

Planning events is never that appealing of a plot to me but this sounds like it'll have some heart and I really like both leads.

🎄 A Dance in the Snow  Premiere Date: Thursday, Dec. 5 at 8/7c Cast: Erica Cerra, Mark Ghanimé, Vanessa Burghardt, Dorian Giordano Premise: Melanie’s (Cerra) 17-year-old autistic daughter Jenny (Burghardt) is a senior in high school and looking forward to college. After a bad experience her junior year, Jenny is not interested in attending her final Christmas dance before graduating. Melanie decides to surprise Jenny by getting involved in the school’s planning committee to create a welcoming dance for all students. Meanwhile, Jenny and her friends secretly plan their own party, in part to honor Melanie. Melanie works with Jenny’s literature teacher (Ghanimé) on the dance and starts to fall for him while Jenny develops something special with a new classmate (Giordano) at school. When their secrets snowball, however, their plans begin to drive a wedge between the usually tightknit mother and daughter at the holidays.

This sounds really sweet. I love that they want to do something special for each other.

🎄 All I Need for Christmas  Premiere Date: Thursday, Dec. 12 at 8/7c Cast: Mallory Jansen, Dan Jeannotte Premise: Maggie (Jansen) has been trying for years to break in as a singer/songwriter. Now faced with challenges of new apps and social media, Maggie fears she’s outdated and unable to compete in a tech-savvy world. While helping her parents on their farm at Christmastime, she meets Archer (Jeannotte), an entrepreneur who has come back to town to spend the holidays alone. Archer is developing large-scale apps and is a tech enthusiast. At first, Maggie blames him for all of her songwriting woes. To her surprise, he encourages her to get back in touch with music that really matters and write from the heart; tech can be used in a supportive role to help her achieve her dreams without replacing the art of songwriting. Archer is dealing with loss of family, and through her tight family bonds, Maggie helps Archer find ways of moving beyond years of family feuding. In this holiday romance, Maggie and Archer both discover there is merit in preserving the tried and true while making room for new ideas and methods to bring people together and help make dreams come true.

To be honest, this sounds kind of lame to me but I'm sure it'll be cute.

🎄 Trading Up Christmas  Premiere Date: Thursday, Dec. 19 at 8/7c Cast: Italia Ricci, Michael Xavier Premise: Michelle (Ricci) is the dreamer of her family, always brimming with imaginative ideas to make the world a better place. This Christmas, her sister Keri desperately needs a new home, and Michelle hatches a creative plan to help. Starting with just a Christmas stocking, she sets out to trade her way up to something far greater—a house for Keri. While Keri dismisses it as a far-fetched idea, local reporter Dan (Xavier) is intrigued. Assigned to cover Michelle’s story, Dan follows her closely, and as her plan gains attention, he starts to see the world through her hopeful eyes. As Michelle and Dan grow closer, so do their feelings for each other. But when it seems her plan has failed and she fears ruined her relationship with Keri, Michelle is ready to give up. It’s Dan’s love and belief in her that reignites hope just when she needs it most.

I think this is a fun concept and I love Italia. I wish someone would get me a house.

Hallmark+

I'm really looking forward to both new fictional shows. I don't care about Wes' show at all. I'm excited about Finding Mr. Christmas. I think that'll be really fun and silly.

🎄 Unwrapping Christmas: Tina’s Miracle Stars  Release Date: Thursday, Nov. 7 Cast: Natalie Hall, Alec Santos Premise: Tina Mitchell (Hall), a successful business owner, meets a charming guy, Michael (Santos), just as her holiday season heats up with the town’s Christmas Gala and her busy store, All Wrapped Up. When the gala is threatened by a scrooge-like estate owner planning to sell the venue, rumors begin to threaten Tina and Michael’s newfound connection. As Tina works to keep venue’s doors open for the gala, she just might unwrap a new chapter in her life, filled with love and holiday cheer.

I mean... sure. Nothing to get too excited about.

🎄 Unwrapping Christmas: Mia’s Prince  Release Date: Thursday, Nov. 14 Cast: Kathryn Davis, Nathan Witte Premise: Mia (Davis), an accountant at All Wrapped Up, is stunned when local celebrity Beau Cavannagh (Witte), who looks just like her favorite romance novel hero, enters her life. Despite her doubts, Beau, an heir to a wealthy family, proves his feelings for her are real, even as his family disapproves. Mia soon finds herself swept up in a fairytale romance that’s straight out of her dreams.

Okay, this sounds really cute.

🎄 Unwrapping Christmas: Lily’s Destiny  Release Date: Thursday, Nov. 21 Cast: Ashley Newbrough, Torrance Coombs Premise: Lily (Newbrough), the marketing guru of All Wrapped Up, believes the universe guides us to our destiny and it appears that it’s guiding her toward a celebrity realtor. However, when she feels an unexpected spark with journalist Sean Whitlock (Coombs) during an interview, her heart starts to question everything. As her chemistry with Sean grows, Lily begins to wonder if he’s the true match she’s been waiting for all along.

And this one sounds lame.

🎄 Unwrapping Christmas: Olivia’s Reunion  Release Date: Thursday, Nov. 28 Cast: Cindy Busby, Jake Epstein Premise: Olivia (Busby), the gift-wrapping expert at All Wrapped Up, makes a delivery to a remote cabin only to find her ex-boyfriend Benjamin (Epstein) on the other side of the door. After the pair have a minor spat, an unexpected storm traps them together. Neither of them is happy to be forced to spend time together. However as talk turns to shared memories, old feelings and warmth begins to resurface and they are left wondering if it’s possible to get it right a second time.

I do love when people are forced together... but, on the other hand, it's Cindy.

🎄 Season’s Greetings from Cherry Lane  Release Date: Thursday, Dec. 5 Cast: Jonathan Bennett, Annabelle Bourke, Corey Cott, Sarah Dugdale, Shannon Kook, Vincent Rodriguez III Premise: In 1951, a doctor (Cott) wants to make the holiday special for his worried wife (Bourke) before he is shipped out to serve in Korea, but when she suffers a minor fracture to her arm his carefully planned out Christmas Eve plans are upended. In 2003, a newly married couple (Dugdale, Kook) who are always in agreement about everything hosts two sets of in-laws for Christmas Eve for the first time and find that they may not have had as much in common as they thought they did. And in 2024, a couple (Bennett, Rodriguez III) tries to arrange special Christmas surprises for each other but keeping them a secret may be harder than they thought.

I was very skeptical about getting 3 more of these movies but seeing the plan for them now has me interested.

🎄 Happy Holidays from Cherry Lane  Release Date: Thursday, Dec. 12 Cast: Benjamin Ayres, Catherine Bell, James Denton, Erica Durance, Julie Gonzalo, Ryan Rottman Premise: Good Witch reunion! In 1960, Eli (Ayres) and Penny (Durance) take in Eli’s curmudgeonly father, Walter (Serge Houde, Chesapeake Shores), and are forced to navigate some tricky family waters to get through the holidays while also working on a Christmas themed time capsule for son Alex’s school project. In 1998, we see Regina (Bell) and Nelson’s (Denton) first meeting: stuck together when a blizzard strands Nelson in Regina’s home on Christmas Eve. In 2015, Jessie (Gonzalo) faces a big challenge while planning her sister’s last-minute Christmas Eve wedding – the officiant is Tim (Rottman), her high school sweetheart, whom she hasn’t seen in almost 20 years.

I feel like all of these are going to have something different to offer and that's fun.

🎄 Deck the Halls on Cherry Lane  Release Date: Thursday, Dec. 19 Cast: John Brotherton, Erin Cahill, Brooke D’Orsay, Chelsea Hobbs, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Sam Page, Matt Dusk Premise: In 1966, single guy David’s (Hollingsworth) plans for a simple Christmas are dashed when his neighbor Stephanie (Hobbs) arrives with news that she won a contest to have Tommy Saunders’ (Dusk) Christmas Eve TV special broadcast live from her house – but used his address. In 1981, John (Brotherton) and Lizzie (Cahill) learn that this will be their last Christmas on Cherry Lane after John receives a job offer in Michigan and Lizzie finds out she’s pregnant. In 2000, best friends Matt (Page) and Rebecca (D’Orsay) find unexpected feelings developing as they try to find out who is behind a series of Christmas-themed random acts of kindness.

I'm also wondering what the connections will be or if they'll all tie in together somehow.

You: This one got renewed for season three. There are only very few Netflix series that have grabbed the attention of people. However unfortunately, this famous thriller series has come to an end now. However, a statement was made by the director where he said that the series will be ending with a season three. The series is based on a novel which was written by Caroline Kepnes. The main role was played by Penn Badgley who was a bookseller. During the second season, the seller was a movie from New York to LA. Even though this is an irresistible show, the fans may not get to watch it anymore.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi |

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics fictional character Wolverine. It is the fourth installment of the X-Men film series, the first installment of the Wolverine trilogy within the series, and a spin-off prequel to X-Men (2000). The film was directed by Gavin Hood, written by David Benioff and Skip Woods, and produced by Hugh Jackman, who stars as the titular character, alongside Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, Dominic Monaghan, and Ryan Reynolds. The film’s plot details Wolverine’s childhood as James Howlett, his time with Major William Stryker’s Team X, the bonding of Wolverine’s skeleton with the indestructible metal adamantium during the Weapon X program and his relationship with his half-brother Victor Creed.

In 1845, James Howlett, a boy living in Canada, witnesses his father being killed by groundskeeper Thomas Logan. Anxiety activates the boy’s mutation: bone claws protrude from his knuckles and he impales Thomas, who reveals that he is James’ birth father before dying. James flees along with Thomas’ other son Victor Creed, who is James’ half-brother and has a sharp claw-nails and healing factor mutation like James. They spend the next century as soldiers, fighting in the American Civil War, both World Wars and the Vietnam War in 1973.

In Vietnam, the increasingly violent Victor attempts to rape a Vietnamese woman and kills a senior officer who tries to stop him. James returns to Victor upon the commotion, and ignorant of his brother’s intent, he rushes to defend him. This results in the pair being sentenced to execution by firing squad, which they survive due to their mutant healing abilities. Major William Stryker approaches them in military custody and offers them membership in Team X, a group of mutants including expert marksman Agent Zero, katana-wielding Wade Wilson, John Wraith, super-strong and invulnerable Fred Dukes and technopath Chris Bradley. They join the team for a few missions, with James using the alias Logan, but Victor and the group’s lack of empathy for human life causes Logan to leave.

Director: Gavin Hood

Writers: David Benioff (screenplay), Skip Woods (screenplay)

Stars: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds, Will.i.am, Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Danny Huston

The Cloud House is the vision of architect Peter Morris and TV producer Emily Kennedy. This extraordinary fantastical architecture has been approved for small back street in Gospel Oak.

Peter and Emily have applied for permission to demolish their Victorian home in Vicar’s Road and replace it with two houses.

It is an interesting street, very eclectic, and not in a conservation area.

The couple had initially considered remodelling their homewhich dates from around 1880.

It does not function well, suffering from being damp, draughty and extremely difficult to heat.

The Cloud House will incorporate the current building by recycling its bricks to create a herringbone patterned floor.

Producer as a Storyteller

We were all assigned a story to read and break down. I was given Hansel and Gretel. This story in particular was about a poor woodcutter who had two children with his first wife. He then re-married and the second wife wanted rid of the children and to take them to the forest to abandon them. The dad finally agreed with the step-mom that they should leave the children in the forest. Hansel made a trail of pebbles which they followed the trail home. The step-mom took them back into the woods the next day, this time Hansel made a trail using bread crumbs. However, the crumbs had been eaten by birds and couldn’t find their way back. They found a house made of candy and they started to eat the candy as they were hungry. An old lady—a witch came out of the house and invited them and fed them all the food they wanted. She told Gretel her plans. The witch was forced to fetch the water to cook Hansel as Gretel wasn’t putting any weight on so the witch didn’t want to eat her. Gretel was made to test the oven temperature with intentions to trick the witch and to push the witch into the oven. The witch is now dead. Hansel, Gretel and their dad now live a rich happy life. The step-mom is no longer seen.

How it relates to the modern day:

·     A story that shows sibling love and loyalty

·     A family that have very little money, the children go out and find a way to support their family.

·     The step-mom is an example of step-parents in the modern day. Children typically hate when their parents split and remarry, there’s always an evil step-parent.

·     Child neglect

·     Stranger Danger

·     Kidnap

Morals of the story:

·     Protect and love – always protect each other.

·     Hard work

·     Intellect will make you rich

·     Be careful who you trust

·     Be smart to survive

We were given a chance to switch stories. I changed to The Cinderella Story.

Idea generating:

Fairy tale based on The Cinderella Story. A prince living in unfortunate circumstances. Has 2 evil step brothers. The Prince received a VIP invite to a ball from another Prince. He had a surprising visit from a Fairy Gayfather. The Fairy was sad that the Prince didn’t have any clothes to go to the ball in, so he promised to enchant the Prince’s garments on the night of the ball so that he had something to wear. However, magic wears off and there will be a curfew. The step-brothers found out about the ball and were jealous. They wanted to marry the other Prince. They found the invitation and locked the Prince in the basement so he couldn’t go. The step-brothers got ready and went instead. The Fair Gayfather arrived to save the night. Helped the Prince to escape and enchanted his garments. The curfew was set for 00:00. The princes danced all night and the young prince had to run before his garments changed back to the rags. He left his Gucci Glass Slipper behind. The other prince found it and searched for him for days. He found the Prince, they married and lived happily ever after.

I decided that this story wasn’t modern enough with the changes we have experienced over the past 10 years. So, I decided to do a digging deeper exercise.

https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/cahun-untitled-p79320

It seems like Cinderella and her prince had too much fun. Her garments and shoes are on the stairs, leading to the bedroom.

An image of significant items a businessman uses every day.

Suit, tie, shoes, newspaper, phone, briefcase and passport.

“Sex work: Feminist Art & Radical Politics” Curated by Alison M. Gingeras. “Focus on explicit sexual iconography combined with radical political agency”. Highlights include work from Penny Slinger, Richard Saltoun, Betty Tompkins and Dorothy Iannone, whose vivid paintings tell intricate stories in vivid colours.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14475327-significant-objects

Through exploring this digging deeper, I have found various links with my initial idea. I’m looking to change and simplify my current idea. I want to create a painting of a designer glass slipper or a glass iPhone with Cinderella influences.

I started to swatch some colours and using mediums such as Gloss Gel Medium and Iridescent Medium by Liquitex. I really think that the Iridescent Medium worked so well to achieve an almost glass finish which relates perfectly to the glass slipper from the Cinderella story.

Thinking more about modern technology.

Mobile Phones – Dating apps – tinder – New developed idea:

Cinderella is a dating app. A prince looking for his true love on Cinderella after dancing all night with a handsome prince at the ball.

Sculpture of a mobile phone with the ‘Cinderella App’.

Unfortunately, when making this… It broke in half and I had no time to fix this. So, I had to resort to making a painting of the app. Here’s what I came up with.

This project was too short for how creative I could have gotten. I would have loved to create at least an A1 painting with more of a storyline rather than having to think carefully about my time management. I did however enjoy practising with Liquitex mediums to achieve different paint outcomes.

To come to an end with this project, we were split up into groups of 6 to criticise each other’s work. The rules were that for 10 minutes the person who was getting their work reviewed, they couldn’t speak or answer questions – then after they had 5 minutes to talk about what their work was exactly about.

Oliver’s review:

We guessed his art work to be from the story Red Riding Hood. This drawing was out of composition and had too much white on the one side of the drawing. However, the use of text worked really well, “Don’t you trust me?” in the colour red. We assumed that the text was in red because the story is called Red Riding Hood, there’s actually a deeper meaning as to why this was the colour red (to be explained later). The rest of the drawing is in black and white which can be quite affective however, because the character is wearing a hoodie sweater, it would be cool to see if she’s wearing a red hooded sweater and to have the rest of the drawing in black and white. Because the character is on their phone having a conversation over text message, I felt that the text “Don’t you trust me?” should be a bubble coming from the mobile phone so it looks more of a texting conversation, rather than a caption of the image.

The actual meaning behind this was:

Phones are used too much and it’s an example of the dangers behind the screen. People aren’t educated enough about the dangers of the internet; catfishes, paedophiles and other dangerous things. Red Riding Hood believes she’s texting her nan, but is actually the wolf who wants her to come over. Red Riding Hood was being led to her nan’s home where she will be killed. The red text was to resemble Red Riding Hood, but mostly blood and about her being killed by the wolf.

In my opinion, I liked the idea of the work, but there were so many unfinished things about it which could be easily changed. The composition of the drawing could easily be changed by finishing some parts where the anatomy has been missed out, whether Oliver draws an outline, but not to completely polish the section, but to show an impression that Red Riding Hood’s waist is there. This would also add to the story by saying that It’s a metaphor of Red being killed and being erased from the world.

Amber’s Review:

Amber created a beautiful delicate acrylic painting which we thought was also Red Riding Hood. She really researched every detail in this painting as it was obvious to us that there were Celtic influences (the boarder around the painting and the clothing on the characters). We could easily guess that the location of the work was either Scotland or Ireland. The boarder around the painting also gave a tarot card aesthetic which was quite nice to see as I have been looking into tarot cards in some of my projects. When looking at her painting, the first thing I looked at and was mesmerised by is the bear in the clouds. It was really well done and captured the audience’s attention. I see bear as a spirit animal that lives in the clouds to protect the person who wears its amulet of protection.

She shown her inspiration of the piece so clearly:

·     Disney Brave

·     Celtic history

·     Protection and bravery

·     Strong warriors

I really liked the small details of this art work too, the image has a great composition and really nice textures: the hair, skin, clothing and the vegetation. There was great use of vanishing point too. The main wolf is being haunted but is still showing signs of strength and appeared to be the alpha.

The actual story and details:

Original story are Snow White and Rose Red.

Snow White and Rose Red are dangerous ruthless killers. Amber didn’t want to create perfectly groomed characters with the typical female stereotypes and wanted to create them into fierce characters. She explained how she searched into her own family history and her surname. It leads back to Ireland and she related this into her painting. Her family history ‘O’Sullivan’ where she found out that they had their own song, their own shield and family crest. The most interesting part is that they had an omen which is a bear: That’s why there’s a bear in the clouds. This shows hidden symbolism in her work which was nice to learn. She wanted the main wolf to be a boar because that was her family crest. She said that she didn’t paint a boar because she didn’t have any references to paint one. However, she could have found references on the internet which could have made this more relatable.

My work being reviewed:

·     Cinderella apparently feeling sorry for herself, so she resulted to Tinder at 04:08am to find a midnight hook up.

·     The time on the phone is because the prince is trying to find their date from the ball and didn’t take their phone number so they’re trying to find them on the dating app.

·     To express that people are so caught up with finding their own Prince Charming on the internet.

·     Photos are easily photoshopped.

·     Classical aesthetics

·     Clear inspiration

·     Clear definition between the hand and the phone.

·     Some proportions are a bit off.

·     The small details work great – the Iridescent Medium

·     Time was the enemy in this piece as it was evident that I didn’t have much time to do exactly what was planned.

·     A background to give a sense of environment

·     The marks in the back ground is rain?

The actual story/details:

Cinderella is a LGBTQ+ dating app where the user can find their own true love with people who have the same intentions. The Prince had left the ball without leaving his number with his date. His date (another Prince) was searching for his true love on the Cinderella dating app at the early hours of the morning.  The rain in the back ground is a metaphor to express that the Prince is sad that the other Prince didn’t leave his number.

Key features of this painting:

·     The glass slipper has replaced the super like, which the guys had mentioned was a really nice detail. Brings relevance from the story and the inspiration from Tinder.

·     The use of the Iridescent Medium which shows influences from the glass slipper.

·     The colour of the smartphone brings inspiration from Cinderella’s Ball Gown and Glass Slipper.

·     Why the Prince Charming on the app screen has a blurred looking face is because in today’s modern culture, people are using photoshop to make themselves look blemish free and beautiful.

I really enjoyed this project. However, it is sad that there was such a limited time frame which didn’t allow me to get into greater details with a painting. I would love to have made a much bigger painting – scenery and more story; experimenting with other paints such as oil paints and layering different paints – acrylic and oils.

How the remains of a Brutalist icon incited a global debate

Taxidermy. Embalming. Vultures. It’s not often you come across these terms all in reference to a piece of architecture, but it’s also not often that architecture that exemplifies the radical, rapid transformation of many 21st century cities as clearly as London’s Robin Hood Gardens.

Robin Hood Gardens is–or was–a social housing development built in 1972 by the celebrated architects Alison and Peter Smithson to replace tenements in a poor section of London. The Brutalist development was celebrated but unmaintained, and after several failed attempts to refurbish and preserve it, demolition began in 2017 to make way for a $400 million redevelopment project. At the time, London’s Victoria & Albert Museum managed to acquire a large piece of the destroyed facade, vowing to preserve it as a piece of architectural heritage. This week at the Venice Architecture Biennale–the rarified biannual festival where architects, curators, and critics descend onto the city for a slew of architectural installations–the museum debuted the reconstructed concrete facade as part of an exhibition on the work. Visitors can wander around a 30-foot chunk of the building, or ponder it in an immersive, panoramic digital exhibition showing its original state by Korean artist Do Ho Suh.

In one sense, it seems like a fitting way to memorialize the Brutalist icon. During the building’s construction, the Smithsons famously said that “a building under assembly is a ruin in reverse.” What better way to remember it than by turning the building into a kind of ruin?

But critics of the reconstruction argued it was a form of taxidermy–a way of “conserving a building’s skin while destroying its heart,” as CityLab‘s Feargus O’Sullivan wrote when the plans were announced. The historian Stephen Pritchard calls it “poverty tourism” and describes the project as “artwashing,” where cultural capital–like important architecture–is used to whitewash displacement and gentrification. The V&A “are acting like cultural vultures, scavenging a carcass from our poisoned welfare state, our murdered dream of decent council housing for all, picking through the scraps of social housing made putrid by legions of money-loving housing associations,” he wrote on his blog at the time.

V&A director Tristram Hunt responded this week with an op-ed in the Art Newspaper, arguing against the “keyboard warriors and ‘art-wash’ agitators.” Furthermore, “behind this critique is the increasingly popular conviction that not only can museums not be neutral sites, but that they also have a duty to be vehicles for social justice,” he wrote. “Rather than chronicling, challenging, and interpreting, we should be organizing demonstrations and signing petitions. I am not so sure.”

The debate underlines the plight of social housing in London and other cities around the globe where rapid development has squeezed affordable options, and where aging developments from the 1970s and ’80s are in decay without necessary funding for refurbishment. One thing seems clear: the way the public values and experiences art is increasingly experiential and personal. The V&A may see itself purely as a chronicle of art and architecture, but we’re living in an era when the political and socioeconomic context of culture is impossible to ignore–proven by the fact that this debate has made international news in the first place.

Join a roster of the most sinister storytellers including David F. Walker (BITTER ROOT), Matthew Rosenberg (WHAT’S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE?), Dennis Culver (BURNOUTS), and Will Dennis (editor on MOONSHINE, WYTCHES, GIDEON FALLS) to discover how they’re altering an entire genre.

— Kevin O’Sullivan, The Spectator, 2016.

Durante 20 meses, fui acusado de um crime de ódio: agressão comum motivada por homofobia. Os British Transport Police perseguido meu caso com extraordinário zelo. O mesmo aconteceu com o Crown Prosecution Service. Eu estava mergulhado em um mundo onde o senso comum murchou e morreu.

O pesadelo começou quando eu estava viajando para casa para Londres, depois de um funeral em Kent. Eu estava conversando com um amigo no trem quando um homem estranho começou a gritar para nós do outro lado da carruagem. “Cale a boca!”, Ele gritou antes de acusar-nos de conduzir uma conversa machista e misógino em alto volume. Este foi, em sua opinião, “ofensivo”.

Fomos confuso. Falando em um volume normal para uma conversa privada, que foram, de facto discutir um colega do sexo masculino, na verdade usando o ocasional palavrão. Apontando o dedo para nós, nosso acusador insistiu que estávamos usando linguagem depreciativa sobre uma mulher. Nós não estávamos. Eu sugeri que ele poderia gostar de parar seu discurso. Mas ele continuou gritando para nós. Quando ele foi se levantar, eu decidi me defender, tentando mantê-lo em seu assento. Eu pensei que seria mais seguro assim. Meu amigo foi 66 e não bem. Neste ponto, nosso acusador saltou para seus pés e me deu um soco no rosto. Uma sessão de parque infantil luta se seguiu. Não sou lutador e nem era. Ele foi um não-evento, bolsas. Ninguém foi ferido.

Alguém tinha marcado 999, o guarda chegou e eu voltei para o meu lugar. Toda a briga durou cerca de 30 segundos. O trem parou em Tunbridge Wells, um policial levou nossas demonstrações separadamente e informou-me que o meu acusador não quis apresentar queixa. Nem I. Ele desceu do trem, eu continuei minha viagem e que foi o fim de tudo. Ou assim eu pensava.

Um dia depois, um oficial da British Transport Police tocou meu adversário – que acabou por ser um professor universitário. Por razões que nunca vai saber, esta chamada levou a uma mudança de coração pelo meu acusador. A BTP, posteriormente, me entrevistou, e antes que eu sabia o que tinha acontecido eu estava sendo acusado de abuso homofóbico e assalto. Eu estava atordoado. Eu tinha alegadamente interrompeu as tentativas do homem para fazer um telefonema perguntando-lhe se ele estava tocando seu amante gay.

Esta alegação poderia ter arruinado minha vida. Eu tinha sido considerado culpado, como crítico de televisão e comentarista que aparece na caixa e no rádio regularmente, minha carreira teria acabado.

O homem não tinha provas para apoiar a sua reivindicação. Do meu lado, eu tinha várias testemunhas que ouviram nada do tipo, além de imagens do circuito interno, que mostrou a nossa briga não tinha sido mais do que uma escaramuça insignificante. Ainda assim, a polícia investigou o meu caso com ardor. relatório florida dos oficiais que investigam o CPS fez soar como se eu tivesse batido o inferno fora do cara. Era um absurdo. No entanto, as taxas foram devidamente pressionado.

Durante o longo e estressante espera para o meu julgamento, tornou-se claro para mim que não era a não-agressão que eles estavam interessados. Era o aspecto homofóbico que tinha misteriosamente surgiu 24 horas após o incidente.

Para o registro, a sexualidade do meu acusador nunca tinha entrado em minha mente e, verificou-se, ele não era gay. Mas estas alegações desde que a Polícia de Transporte Britânica com uma oportunidade potencial para poder fechar uma estatística muito importante apontando para como maravilhosamente difícil eles estão no crime de ódio. Tolerância zero. Cada percebida ligeiro é registrado como um crime – mesmo em casos como o meu, onde as provas são baseadas somente na própria conta do acusador.

O processo judicial em si, que aconteceu no mês passado, foi um caso bizarro. As imagens de CCTV provou que eu não teria nenhuma razão para interromper a chamada do meu acusador porque ele não fazer um. Três amigos gays tirou o dia de folga do trabalho para assegurar os magistrados que eu não era um homofóbico. Mas o advogado de acusação do CPS insistiu que eu era um criminoso de ódio. Os magistrados, em sua sabedoria, discordou e concluiu que tinha agido em legítima defesa “com moderação”. Meu entusiasmo foi temperado pela £ 15,000 que eu tinha sido forçado a gastar na contratação de uma equipe jurídica. Ficarei muito feliz se eu conseguir recuperar uma fração desse montante.

Espero que o que aconteceu comigo é raro. Mas de alguma forma eu duvido. O Diretor do Ministério Público Alison Saunders – que dirige o CPS – anunciou que novos documentos em breve será lançado para explicar a um grato pública a definição de crime de ódio e de convidar a todos para ir direto para a polícia.

Explicando por que ela quer ver mais delinquentes ódio-crime imputado, Saunders disse: “Nós gostaríamos de vê-lo maior, porque eu acho que esses casos não são relatados suficiente.” Como ela pode saber isso? É mais de mil relatórios de uma semana realmente muito poucos? Quantas serviria para ela? Dois mil? Dez mil? Um milhão?

Eu não posso falar cientificamente, mas a partir de minha própria experiência, eu senti que eu estava nas garras de uma espécie de loucura. Agora que o conjunto de 1970 celebridades para prender por crimes sexuais históricas está acabando, a polícia e os CPS parecem ter subido a bordo de um novo movimento.

As leis e orientação para os promotores contra a homofobia, trans-fobia, o racismo e religiosa e preconceito deficiência são bem-intencionada. Mas a menos que executada com justiça e um senso de justiça que eles representam uma ameaça crescente. A polícia de Nottinghamshire anunciaram a sua intenção de transformar-lobo assobiando em um crime de ódio misógino. Não é que apenas um pouco acima do topo? Não cobres têm coisas melhores para fazer?

Por um ano e oito meses, eu tinha um assento na primeira fila na beira da insanidade. A, pequena briga patética que eu não começar a transformou em uma batalha judicial prolongado. Crime de ódio. Tenha cuidado, pode acontecer com você.
