Gulley Jimson and I used to be best friends, even though he is made-up. Wayward human and color appreciator,he is a main character in Joyce Cary's novel trilogy,one of my favorites. Irish Joyce Cary studied to be a painter, served in the British military and civil service in West Africa (where I grew up). William Blake, intoxicating painting, a complete devotion to color and the creative passion, and a disregard for pennies and those without appetites - how could I not acknowledge these roots?

Mirrormask
I watched this Neil Gaiman (and many more talents) creation at last. Helena, a fifteen-year-old girl who wants to escape her family circus and join "real life," is the main character who walks from fear and confusion into the shadowy land of her dreams which has all the crystal clarity of the maze of the mind seeking to know itself. There are some funny, witty, clever, and endearing bits here, as well as amazing graphics. Thanks for the adventure, which I'll add to mine.......
