Daniel Reeve in New Jersey March 30, 07

Hello, I just thought I would post this here for my fellow art lovers and creative thinkers!!!!!!
Daniel is thrilled to be asked to appear as the keynote speaker at Thinking Creatively 2007, the annual conference of the Art Director's Club of New Jersey! This is a melting pot of the best art directors, designers and creative thinkers, local and international, in a two day event which bubbles with creative energy! Let those juices flow!
Thinking Creatively is on 30 - 31 March, 2007 at Kean University in Union, NJ, and will also include a mini exhibition of "The Art of Daniel Reeve". FRIDAY, March 30
SPECIAL EVENING MAIN-STAGE
6:30pm – 7:30pm
"Where there's a Quill, there's a Way."
Daniel Reeve, Typographer, artist, and cartographer for Lord of the Rings, Narnia, King Kong
 The Lord of the Rings: one of the great works of literature, and a major event in film history! The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe! King Kong! - two more blockbuster movies from New Zealand. Pirates of the Caribbean! Daniel Reeve, the artist responsible for all the typography, calligraphy, and cartography in these films, will take us behind the scenes, looking through the lens of his own involvement in these pieces of cinema history. We will see creativity, seat-of-the-pants ingenuity, craftsmanship, and why the humble quill still has a place in today’s high-tech productions. Why you make up the rules as you go!
The repetition, the doubling and the long strands of interconnected narrative all mean something. They say that life is a series of cycles, and that we will likely meet the same kinds of archetypal guardians, opponents and allies at various stages along the way. But the nature of the conflicts changes as you age and grow over the span of an epic. Reading 'The Lord of the Rings' in my 20s, I was inspired by its idealism, but also terrified by its vision of middle life and old age as a patient, plodding struggle against the mundane grinding of evil. Seeing the movie meant something else to me from my current perspective, around the corner of age fifty, reminding me that the raw intensity of youthful dreams still has purity and power. At the same time, I felt the death of comrades in the movie keenly, for comrades have started to fall around me, and I looked to the story for the courage to continue the struggle without them.~As the legend says, 'One Ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.' We were certainly bound in the darkness, me and that afternoon's audience for the first chapter of 'The Lord of the Rings,' fellow travelers on a long journey together, seeking meaning for our shadowed world in the mirror of a myth, just as humans have always done.~Christopher Vogler

$160 for one day for non-members, I'd be there like a shot.
Oh well - I'll hold out hope for DragonCon!
Thanks, Shadowfaxfan!

and it would be a lot closer but it is during the height of Hurricane Season - scary-.Just about every time I plan something for those months it always gets canceled. When my daughter was little we canceled her birthday party almost every year it is Aug 25. I just went back to your profile because I am bad with regular names never mind the Elvish or Tolkien one's and I saw the photo. Which one is you? It looks like a group of nice women and men { almost didn't see the guys in the back}.

that I'm the hobbit-shaped one on the left, forced to stand in front because I'm hobbit-height too. (Almost.) Glasses, silly grin.
I emailed the folks at Dragoncon, and I understand that Daniel Reeve has been invited, but it's up to him to get a registration in if he wants to go, and the PTB to sign him up... It's a definite maybe!

Hobbit Height -count me in too!!!!

I am 5'1 and people are always picking on me because of it so at home I just make my sons and husband who are 5'8 and 9 get every thing down for me. I just tell them the "shrimp" can't reach it but you can. I make them work for their comments since they find my height entertaining but to me it can be a handicap. You should see me climb the shelves at Wally World, Target, or the grocery store!
I must say though I absolutely love your hair it is really beautiful! Mine is that long also, but mostly grey or silver now days, kinda of like Gandalf's curls. I have found people find long grey hair unusual and always say some thing- usually positive though about it. A lot of people want to know if it is my real color and I have to wonder who in their right mind would dye there hair grey, if the color even exist in a bottle. My son bleached his long bangs white but the hair all broke off from the peroxide hair whitener he got from Hot Topic. So he won't do it again and is glad he did not do his whole head. Since he was about 11 he has grown his hair to about his waist and then we cut it to give to Locks Of Love for cancer patients.
I wanted to say I also really liked your out fit too and I would say your look is more a cross between Elves and Hobbits and it reflects your good heart!

about Aerlinn's hair. Very pretty. It reminds me of the Princess of Wales' in Braveheart.
The last time I went for a haircut my stylist had cut short someone's hair earlier in the day who donated it to Locks of Love. My stylist showed it to me, neatly braided (brown) in a clear plastic package, ready to send off to them. If I ever cut my hair short I'd like to do that.

I used to be GaladrielTX, but I lost my TX and an hour over the weekend. Stupid Daylight Saving Time!
