This Magi scene is splendidly illustrated with bright colors in a Book of Hours from Rouen, France sometime around the late 1400s. All figures are dressed in ornate clothing contemporary to the historical period of the book’s production. The initial D contains budding flowers and birds hidden in the elaborate floral margins.

Had myself a little "feel good" Christmas restoration project this week. Henry was THE most charming man ever made. I told him no charge for repairing a missing foot and stabilizing the other wobbly bits and pieces for this antique jewelry box. A gift for his lady friend. Sneaky fella snuck a check in my studio anyways. A battle of good cheer and warm fuzzies that I lost. Thanks @balboaartconservation for referring this sweet man to me! ❤️ 🌲 🎅 🌲 ❤️ #SparkandAnvil #MerryChristmas #restoration #antiques #giftofthemagi #warmfuzzies (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6WD5OxnFD7/?igshid=1xf1l9pw6rpa3

I’ve always enjoyed the story “Gift of the Magi” for its message of love and self-sacrifice. So, I drew the pocketwatch chain and comb from the story for #inktober2018day28gift . . . . #inktober #inktober2018 #inktober2018day28 #gift #giftofthemagi #ink #draweveryday #love #sacrifice https://www.instagram.com/p/BpiMb8mgTPe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12zzuyns2q4cm

For The Record

My film adaptation of “The Gift of The Magi” titled, “For The Record” aspires to put the audience into a position where they can witness both the blissful domesticity and the struggle for acceptance found within modern same-gender relationships. 

Stories such as “The Gift of The Magi” lighten the heart with a potent warmth that spreads through your entire being. I still find myself affected by this story even after reading it countless times. Stories like these are what inspired me to become a writer; stories that everyone can relate to. We’ve all struggled to find the perfect gift, we’ve all struggled with financial debt, and we’ve all struggled to fix a situation that went wrong despite good intentions.

When approaching my screenplay adaptation, I wanted to integrate the original core concept with a contemporary setting that is relatable to a modern audience. The poverty that most of the current generation is facing was heavily employed, including the act of buying, trading, and selling things online to make ends meet. I also wanted to convey how much we depend on technology even when we value antiquated things.  I wrote the characters as fresh-out-of-college young adults focused on following their dreams even when facing financial crisis. Having the story follow a lesbian couple is still considered a bold move even in this progressive era, but I was determined to take risks with this project, even small ones.

I intend to continue writing screenplays for book adaptations; currently considering projects such as the “Immortals After Dark” series by Kresley Cole, the “Dark-Hunter” series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, and the “Hell’s Eight” series by Sarah McCarty. I also look forward to writing my own book series and an accompanying screenplay for film adaptation.

He said it first

He said it first

O. Henry was a New York writer, and the silent film “You’re fired” was based on his short story, “The Halberdier of the Little Rheinschloss” by . The film came out in 1919, some nine years after his death.

If you think O. Henry was a nom de plume, you are of course 100% on the mark. The surprise endings in all those stories were brought to you courtesy of William Sidney Porter, who also…
