END OF ILLUSION (For Barry) by Sara L. Russell (Pinky Andrexa) How lovely was illusion when it used to wear his face; like some magical collusion between mystery and grace. Spun from lightning, stars and thunder, luminescent as moonlight, with dar…

More About Me and My World
Founder/former editor of Poetry Life & Times. Robin Ouzman Hislop and Amparo Arrospide are the new Editors; they have made the website more interactive now - along with many new features, readers can now vote on their favourite in Featured Poets. I still do the Perils of Norris cartoon and contribute to Resident Poets.

Member of darcylicious.com, a website dedicated to the actor Matthew Macfadyen. Being on the forum of this site led to me being able to meet fellow fans of his, and to actually meet him twice this year, while he was appearing in The Pain and the Itch in London. Reviewed the play in the September issue of Poetry Life & Times this year. We found Matthew to be every bit as charming as he seemed in interviews. Some fans also met his lovely actress wife, Keeley Hawes, and found her to be a very nice person too. I am currently working on a portrait of Keeley for the one and only male member of the forum at darcylicious.com.

I have three strikes of bad luck, breaking bones three times in six years... they say things happen in threes so hopefully that's it now.

I live in Sussex with a wonderful husband and an insane cat. Very happy with both. When not working part-time, I draw, watch TV, sing along with my karaoke program, and write fan fiction and poetry.

Watch this space for more multimedia poetry. I am now able to film outside as well as indoors with a web cam, so look out world....!

My sketch of Matthew Macfadyen for cubbie, a fan in America. This is from a photo by a fan, probably Karen Saunders, who was with cubbie when she met Matthew. Karen and cubbie run darcylicious.com, which is a major Matthew Macfadyen fan website. The original sketch is A4 size. I liked this expression, which is an amused half-smile with a lot of warmth in his eyes, so this look of his had to be drawn, for its subtlety and charm.


I often think that photos by fans are more natural, happy pictures of him, than photos by the paparazzi, probably because he knows that the interest of fans is more sincere than that of the press.


To Matthew's fans I would say, if you get the chance to see him in a play, don't miss the opportunity to approach him for an autograph. He is kind and easy to talk to.

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES




1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
