David J Vanderpool - Pencil Drawing Graphic Artist

He obsessed with the subtle shading of his gradation through intricate line and movement of his pencils. "With time passing came change – My style in drawing has changed through the years, as a result of always trying to improve from the last attempt. Much like life in general, if you don’t learn from your mistakes you can’t move on and do better."

The Heart's Invisible Furies - John Boyne (Irish)

A delightful and sometimes tragic epic romp through the course of a man’s life.  It's main character, Cyril Avery, takes you on a literal journey of a lifetime, as his story unfolds in seven year increments, throughout eleven phases of his life.  A sort of coming of age, after realizing he is different, and the often painful repercussions of coming to terms with his sexual attraction to men.  [read review]

Free Fall (German)

Nothing really new here, but has a great soul with great performances by the actors, a good script and beautifully directed. Feels naturally filmed, about a thirtyish police officer who falls in love with a male co-officer and the repercussion of his indecision.  [read review]
