THIS IS MY CREATURE:

Halloween is just around the corner so the time for CREATING OUR CREATURE has come. Every year I give you some sources of inspiration. My first for this year is Chris Riddell, a political cartoonist for The Observer and author of the recent book Timorous Beasts. You can check lots of his stuff online. He has a wonderful facebook where he uploads videos showing how he draws.

TIM BURTON'S CREATURES AND POETRY

 This week in a class I have read some poems from the book The melancholy of Oyster Boy. Tim Burton's creatures are weird, funny and unique. Some of them are Staring girl, The girl with many eyes, Match boy, Stain boy, Toxic boy, Robot boy, Melonhead, Mummy boy, Brie boy, The boy with nails in his eyes, Oyster boy or Junk girl. I bought a copy of this book as an adult, so don't think these stories are for children because they are not. Some of them are touching and sad, others are funny and peculiar. Each of the characters is an outsider, many come from broken families, mostly parents who are not accepting their children who are different. Who is your favourite? You can read some of them in the link below.
