King Terry's Bad N Nice

King Terry is a Japanese artist illustrator. The book Bad N Nice puts together literally thousands of his drawings over 600 pages. As the book is about as thick as a telephone directory, it's impossible to scan, so please excuse the quality of some of the images.








Here's some more examples

TRICKFILM

These images are taken from a German book on animation. The book is translated into five languages and doesn't say where each film is made, so I have given each the English title.

"THE DRAWING ON THE WALL" - Stefan, a bright twelve-year-old, arrives late at the dentist, because he had lingered on the way to join other children drawing on the wall. He is angry because the dentist tells him to come again tomorrow at a time when he wanted to be playing. In 'revenge' he draws a caricature of the dentist, armed with a corkscrew, on the wall at the entrance. In the night Stefan dreams of his caricature, and is very frightened. Next day, when the dentist is treating him, he realises what a mistake he has made, and wipes his picture off the wall.

THAT'S HOW I SEE IT - BRUNO J. BOTTGE

"THAT'S HOW I SEE IT" - A painter leaves it up to luck what subject he will choose for his picture. At a building site he begins to make a sketch of a worker in abstract style. The worker protests that that is not how he looks. The painter replies: "That's how I see it". Then the worker draws the artist. The painter protests that he has drawn a donkey, and not him. "That's how I see it" replies the worker.

A nice wee present from.... Ivor Cutler

In 1998 I sent one of my books to Ivor Cutler, c/o the BBC, and was thrilled to receive a package a few weeks later containing several of his famous 'stickies' and the above note.

A collection of Ivor Cutler's stickers was produced by the small press 'PICKPOCKETS'. entitled 'befriend a bacterium'. It's probably out of print by now, but is well worth tracking down.

Most of his albums have been getting re-releases over the past few years. One omission is PRINCE IVOR, which is a wonderful collection of plays for Radios 3 and 4. Although separate pieces, they flow so well together they form a kind of modern equivalent of Alice in Wonderland, in which Ivor encounters, among others, a mole, a miner, a mermaid, and King Neptune. There is such a lot of space in the recordings; you listen to a lot of silence - sometimes punctuated by footsteps - but it is totally entrancing. There are extracts of eastern European folk music, and a piece from Burundi - the latter in the form of Ivor's new disc which he plays for his dad.
Highly recommened, and which hopefully will at some point get a release on CD thanks to this site:

From my scrapbook - part 1

This photograph was clipped from the International Herald Tribune, probably late 1990s, early 2000s. It accompanied a motor racing report. The only reference to the eagle in the whole piece was in the strapline of the picture, which said that the winner was attacked by the bird as he stood celebrating on the podium. I found it bizarre for nothing else to have been written on the matter.
