Just to let you know, now I have my Twitter account...
I must admit it's a bit embarrassing to start Twitter in 2010 instead of '06 or '07, but anyway recently I'm re-watching and re-reading Ivanhoe book and films and couldn't resist the urge to tweet my joy while enjoying them. Ha ha.
Anyway since nobody's reading this blog, it'll be a stealth account, too.

Russian Ivanhoe Film
I've been rereading Ivanhoe from the very first chapter and totally enjoying it.
Also, shame I didn't know about this film until recently but anyway I've just watched the Soviet film version of Ivanhoe "The Ballad of the Viliant Knight Ivanhoe (Баллада о доблестном рыцаре Айвенго" (1982) for the first time and liked it a lot.
Of course the story is trimmed and modified, and there is even a long sequence (thinking of the entire length of the film) with ... looong eye-contact between Wilfrid and Rowena associated with an almost corny song, where they are not supposed to meet each other in the book.
And I daresay that the sound effect is totally Jim Henson's Labyrinth, e.g. fanfare sound at the lists is out of synthesizer.
But in whole, I liked it very much.
Wish I could understand Russian... or is there any translated version?

Richard again
I don't know why do I keep posting things regarding Richard I, but here he is again, a new sketch for the website.
Maybe it's my fault that I chose his nickname (in Ivanhoe) for the website.
I should draw more of King Alfred, and other characters of Ivanhoe.
But I think I want my Twitter account to tweet my renewed love for Ivanhoe. Hah.

The chimneys of Hell/ Black Raven
Meanwhile....
The volcano havoc reminds me of these lines from my beloved "The Marsh King" by C.W.Hodges, the juvenile about Alfred the Great;
The volcano havoc reminds me of these lines from my beloved "The Marsh King" by C.W.Hodges, the juvenile about Alfred the Great;
It is said that the Devil himself dwells in the north. In the land of Iceland in the northern sea there is a smoking mountain, which is one of the chimneys of Hell.
