A different kind of Wild Walker...

Just been to see this clever-without-being-smug, moving-without-being-sentimental and utterly- engaging-while-still-hilarious film that aims to get kids to go outside and enjoy nature by - if nothing else - raising awareness that the Great Outdoors is not only good for you but really great fun!
So much to think about - loved every minute of it - didn't want it to end...

OKIDO 26 SPACE

From the new issue...

"A small step for man (sic) a giant leap for mankind..."

Yes, the new OKIDO space issue has landed...

BROKEN

"...I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption 

I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway 

And more, much more than this, I did it my way..." 

It's finally over and - SPOILER ALERT - never was so much invested for such rich reward.

The joyful relief of seeing Jesse free; that broken, beautiful, moral compass and the final release and redemption of Walter White. Walt, rooted for, loved, respected, hated, despised and finally, finally surely had to be admired once again, if only for his sheer chemical genius, resilience, brilliant planning capacity and ultimate honesty. 

I will miss them yet don't want to see them again any time soon....the goodbye was too perfect.

This is an extraordinary and magical book by illustrator Charlie Sutcliffe. The artwork is surreal and almost hypnotic at times, full of obscure references and hidden treasures. There is a strong sense of almost-past or of the world seen through a looking glass. It just might be the book your child doesn't want to put down...and surely Spinglefranks will be entering the dictionary of folklore soon?

I'm proud to say I was asked by Tate to do some work on the text, which I hope helped to give it a shape and rhythm that only enhanced the fabulous graphics. So good luck Charlie - and looking forward to seeing the further adventures of Zubert sometime soonish..!
