While the first story line ( Seed of Destruction, 1994) was co-written by John Byrne, Mike has continued writing the series himself. In 1993, Mike moved to Dark Horse comics and created Hellboy, a half-demon occult detective who may or may not be the Beast of the Apocalypse. In 1992, he drew the comic book adaptation of the film Bram Stoker's Dracula for Topps Comics. By the late 80s he had begun to develop his signature style (thin lines, clunky shapes and lots of black) and moved onto higher profile commercial projects like Cosmic Odyssey (1988) and Gotham by Gaslight (1989) for DC Comics, and the not-so-commercial Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser (1990) for Marvel. In 1982, hoping to find a way to draw monsters for a living, he moved to New York City and began working for Marvel Comics, first as a (very terrible) inker and then as an artist on comics like Rocket Raccoon, Alpha Flight and The Hulk. His fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age (he doesn't remember why) and reading Dracula at age 13 introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore from which he has never recovered. Mike Mignola was born Septemin Berkeley, California and grew up in nearby Oakland. Oudolf’s planting feels characteristically accidental, but is incredibly precise and intentional. ‘I found his approach fabulous, so when the theme of a garden on the Vitra Campus came up, I immediately thought of him.’ Fehlbaum had been impressed by Oudolf’s work for the 2010 Venice Biennale and the High Line in New York. ‘As we do not intend to construct new buildings in the foreseeable future, it seemed that a garden would be an interesting expansion of the campus’ concept,’ says Rolf Fehlbaum, Vitra’s chairman emeritus. The clean, exacting lines and modern fabrications of the architecture both contrast with and complement Oudolf’s landscaping – his complex planting techniques favour texture and structure over frothy blooms, creating year-round ambience so natural as to appear free of human intervention. VitraHaus – the flagship store that Oudolf’s garden surrounds – was designed and built by Herzog & de Meuron in 2010. Buildings on the campus include a fire station by Zaha Hadid, a Jasper Morrison bus stop, a viewing tower with a slide by Carsten Höller, a petrol station designed by Jean Prouvé, a conference pavilion by Tadao Ando, a geodesic dome by Richard Buckminster Fuller, a small cabin designed by Renzo Piano, and more. It’s a corner of Europe rich with art and design institutional muscle Fondation Beyeler, the Museum Tinguely, and Art Basel, when in session, are all less than a 15-minute drive away. The Vitra Campus is a stone’s throw from the Dreiländereck, where the borders of Germany, France and Switzerland meet. Seth meets two other "survivors" in the post-apocalyptic world – Regine, a sharp-tongued black girl, and Tomasz, a quirky Polish boy, their characters leaping off the page. He builds the story's plot steadily, parcelling out the elements of Seth's backstory in manageable chunks, ending each section with a revelation or a cliffhanger, solving some mysteries and setting up new ones. Or did he? The mystery deepens as he involuntarily slips back and forth between both worlds. In the other, he is a bewildered, post-apocalyptic Robinson Crusoe, trying to work out what happened and how he survived. One is a world in which his mother hates the fact that he's gay and blames him for something terrible that happened to his little brother, the circumstances around which led to him killing himself by walking into the sea. For the boy – Seth – is caught between two realities. He still holds out hope for a Village People revival and has set up a Google Alert in case it happens.Ī B- student throughout high school, Bill was voted Most Likely to Avoid Doing Any Real Work In His Life by a panel of his dismissive peers. None of these career paths worked out for him. Bill played alongside the likes of the kid who always showered alone, the chronic nosebleeder and the guy with recurrent poison ivy.Įarly in his life, Bill decided he wanted to be a disc jockey, a professional baseball player, or the Construction Worker from The Village People. As it turned out, the highlight of his soccer career was at Camp Greylock in 1978, when he was chosen for the Camp's "D" team. His parents figured he'd be a great soccer player, based on his spirited kicking from inside the womb. Expectations were high from birth - at least in terms of athletics. Bill Konigsberg was born in 1970 in New York City. However, nature's threatening the youth's beauty does not matter, for the poet confidently asserts that the youth will gain immortality as the subject of the sonnets. Note that the word "lines" in line 10 unquestionably means wrinkles in the previous sonnet, "lines" had at least three possible meanings.Īlthough the poet begs time not to ravish the young man's beauty, to leave it "untainted" as an example of perfection ("beauty's pattern") upon which all can gaze, the concluding couplet, especially line 13's beginning "Yet," underscores the poet's insecurity of what he asks for. Then, in line 8, the poet inserts the counter-statement, one line earlier than usual: "But I forbid thee one most heinous crime." The poet wants time to leave the young man's beauty untouched. The sonnet's first seven lines address the ravages of nature that "Devouring Time" can wreak. However uninspired the sonnet as a whole might seem, the imagery of animals is particularly vivid. The poet then commands Time not to age the young man and ends by boldly asserting that the poet's own creative talent will make the youth permanently young and beautiful. In Sonnet 19, the poet addresses Time and, using vivid animal imagery, comments on Time's normal effects on nature. Full Glossary for Shakespeare's Sonnets. Cervantes! Zane has always enjoyed exploring the dormant volcano near his home in New Mexico, even though hiking it is challenging. But how can he run when he can't even walk well without a cane?Ī contemporary adventure based on Maya mythology from Rick Riordan Presents and New York Times bestselling author J. To survive, Zane will have to become the Storm Runner.
