WINDMILLS ON THE FLESH

 

The strangest feeling, to see creatures that lived only in my head and on my pages in the flesh... ish on my screen, and suddenly I wish I could direct movies. 

Happy Tuesday my darling reader... at least is no longer Monday. 

love, Lu

PS _ it´s now on my scrivener's composition mode background, basically on the background of the text, as I write.

SOUL MOUNTAIN

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."

CS Lewis

I generally agree wholeheartedly with this statement by C. S. Lewis, but not on this occasion. Tea in Spain tastes like shit (even British tea), and this book I have just finished has been painful through and through. It broke every narrative rule, and not only that—it run me over like a great big lorry leaving only pain behind. I don't know what I just read. Like looking into the head of God and finding in it information about multiple Chinese people, all at once, all thrown at the reader without rhythm or rhyme. 

It was written by a Nobel Prize winner. This is a sin, I know, and it says a lot more about me than about its brilliant writer. But the 50s are the age of brutal honesty, with oneself and others.

My father wanted to push me towards another brilliant piece of literature, but I think I need, for now, something light… something very light. A shampoo label will do for now.

PS_ However, I did learn something important in the last page... my mother —as usual— was right, GOD IS A FROG.

PSS— how’s everyone doing? Any fabulous books?

EARLY MEMORIES - SIGNS / LETTERS

I remember wondering what all those signs in the streets said when I was being driven by a grown up in the car and thinking how wonderful it would be to be able to understand those things I now call letters and sentences. Little did I know there were many different systems of those symbols, depending on the country and that I would get to learn about many of them throughout my life. It's still equally magical though, beginning to understand a Korean person when they talk to me, or read the words in a French book knowing how they sound and what they mean, or be able to speak to you here in a language that doesn't belong to either of us.

or, perhaps, every language belongs to all of us, just like every piece of land, every tree, every sunrise; and just the same way we belong to them too, and to each other. 

PS - happy nearly Friday, earthlings

PSS _ don't watch the news, they should come with a warning.

MAN

 

**Je connais une planète où il y a un Monsieur Cramoisi.

Il n’a jamais respiré une fleur.
Il n’a jamais regardé une étoile.
Il n’a jamais aimé personne.
Il n’a jamais rien fait d’autre que des additions.

Et toute la journée il répète comme toi :
« Je suis un homme sérieux ! Je suis un homme sérieux ! »
Et ça le fait gonfler d’orgueil.

Mais ce n’est pas un homme, c’est un champignon !**

from the LE PETIT PRINCE  by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

So many champignons these days !! thank God for the petit princes left in this planet of ours. To all of them out there... STAY STRONG <3

0bsession is not always a bad thing..

 At least for writers

THE DISCOVERY OF HEAVEN

 

"Happiness was not freedom from chains but release from chains. Chains were an indispensable part of happiness!" 

 네 ...  네 

GIVING BIRTH ...

 ... to my Doña Quijote  

still in awe with my lass AI artist friend. Latest images for the book (research only, course) : 

My only complaint so far is, why the heck is it so difficult to come up with an uglier, more regular looking female? Except for their fingers (drawing hands is hard EVEN for machines, peculiar, isn't it? )

still, I love them all. 

The last one so far is my favorite candidate for the book cover. Though this might and very likely will change. 

And about the rest in the real world? who cares.

MS DESIGNER AI concept art for a very modern version of the Don Quijote (oposite order to the story)

 

I really love the concept of this one, the traditional Korean clothes mixed with futuristic havoc in comic book design 

Spot the weirdness ;)  Sometimes our little AI friend doesn't know what to do with our body parts, ahem:

Or with our faces... 

Papa said Pincel (my AI artist friend) seems to have been inspired by the old Blade Runner for the city scenes. He is right.

 

Then I got totally carried away with my Donha Quijote's fantasies , in the style of 19th century's paintings :

 

I mean, seriously !!!!  

 

Like... what the f...ck !? had to make this one my laptop's background picture :

 

Like... a machine made this, for real O_o :

 

No, sadly this guy does not exist in Real LIfe, snifff  : 

Neither these two "naughties" :

 

 

 

Et Voila!  the beginning of my Donha Quijote, which feels a lot more real with the help of a little AI friend. All generated by MS DESIGNER

Happy week, humans. I will be off in the skies tomorrow so see you on our way back, if God and the Universe allows me back that is. I leave you with a Holiday song. Be Good, or not, BE HAPPY.

안녕 !! xx
