This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.
Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!
To quote from the Edna's Place blog:
"This book is about her lost 1926 film, directed by Josef von Sternberg, who would later create "The Blue Angel" starring Marlene Dietrich. This would be the only film produced by Charlie Chaplin that did not feature Chaplin as director or actor. The film would never be seen by the public, and the story behind its creation and demise is fascinating. The book features over 50 recently discovered, and never-before-published production still photos from the film."
Linda has dedicated years to the study of the wonderful Edna Purviance and has discovered so much about Edna that was not previously known. Some of it appears in this book, but there is so much more that will one day appear in the Edna biography she is also working on. If you have any interest in film, film-making or silent film and the people that made them, go and check out this book.
If you've pre-ordered a Rainbow Orchid book, then I apologise once again for the delay. Still sorting out some business on it, but they are coming! Any worries at all, just contact me, and I'll be sending out a newsletter soon.
And now some links... Firstly, have a look at Matthew Badham's blog, it's got some great independent comic-related tidbits, including recent interviews with David Baillie and Stuart Kolakovic.
I'd also like to point you in the direction of my brother's new music project, City Music, available for download at the Internet Archive. If you liked Spacewreck, you'll like this, another 'narrative in sound'. Lovely stuff.
Does anyone else hate those 'Snap' website previews that keep popping up every time your mouse hovers over a link?
