Any future film adaptations of Tolkien should base their aesthetics around his illustrations. Especially if animated.
“Conversation with Smaug”, by JRR Tolkien, for 1937’s “The Hobbit”.

I’ve no idea what state of mind Tolkien was in when he painted it. But every time I’ve seen it, and I’ve seen it a lot, I get the impression that he was having a really great time. It’s so zestful, in its details & as a whole.

What if Wicked was released in 1900?

Here is my take on the book cover / movie poster using the designs W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill did for L. Frank Baum's original books.

(I made the Witch green more for colour scheme but also it's fairly significant to Maguire's book)

Turns out you can give Biffo one of the hideous melty faces from that Christmas mural in Kingston and it does nothing to alter his design

Of all the wonderful creations of Paula Rego I saw this morning at Norwich Castle, this masterpiece has really stayed with me. Her ability to find inspiration in nursery rhymes - here, “Hey Diddle Diddle” - just amazes me.

Does anyone have a solidly-referenced resource on the NaNoWriMo forum grooming scandal from a couple of years back?
Asking because it's come to my attention that the accused moderator may have been the same person who ran an anime forum I posted at when I was 13.
