Welcome to the 18th edition of the 2023 Richard Murray Newsletter. Enjoy the Calligraphy of the Aevemor character, created by TheBootesArtVoid . Some more thoughts to Tituba of Salem. Do you have or had you in the past an imaginary friend... I made an imaginary spirit animal, his name is Phillipe Saddletear.

Calligraphy Commission for the Aevemor Character from TheBootesArtVoid

I enjoyed this alot, as I do all my Calligraphic work. It is my uncommon style. As a writer or drawer I like the ability to do both worlds and calligraphy is that. It is the border between said creative worlds and thus where I am very comfortable as a multimedia artist. I made quite a few sketches and other work, which I will not share. I am still trying to get to the place where I let the public in on my processes. It is not that I am afraid or think negatively of it, as much as , I like creating quietly or privately. I am not one who can draw or write online. Anyway, enjoy and if you color yourself, please do so, and I will like to see it.

Phillipe Saddletear

I admit he began more hawkish but I watched a hummingbird show, sequentially, things changed. The eye patch and mechanical talon was from the first sketch. Maybe he talks. I don't know. This character is young. I know the contest said imaginary friend, but I don't have that. And I believe that living beings: plants/fish/humans/the earth can connect to each other naturally. So... let me make up a imaginary spirit animal that isn't what in my heart my spirit animal looks like:)
Phillipe means lover of horses, but he is an avian. So at the last minute I gave him a last name.

Welcome to the 16th edition of the 2023 Richard Murray Newsletter. The Stellantis open invite is on for children between 10th and 12th grade. It closes on the 21st of April so they have a solid five days. I earned another Daily Deviation in Deviantart, The Construction of Holiday Rex. 

I saw an episode of a series called Now Hear This on P.B.S. concerning the art of the european  orchestral musician named Schumann. His open mindedness in approaching his music stemmed from his dealings with his own mind. 

If you know a child in the 10th to 12th grades, they have 5 solid days and it is free

The Construction of Holiday Rex

My Holiday Rex gif became a Daily Deviation. The poem was the focus, but like most of my poetic works it comes attached to an illustration.  You only get a daily deviation every six months which means two a year is maximum. That makes it a rare label.

Welcome to the 15th edition of the 2023 Richard Murray Newsletter. Enjoy the early Spring which is what Easter represents. Anyone paint eggs? I placed two Easter Illustrated Stories from my Good News Calendar. The 191st street streetart invitation will be due the coming 14th. And, I learned recently of a 3d art contest. Enjoy the sun folks. 

   The following is a link to April dates. https://rmnewsletter.over-blog.com/2023/03/04/02/2023-rmnewsletter.html

HAPPY EASTER 

The following are two quick illustrated tales for you

191st street

3D Art contest 

It is open to any form. I have to admit, with my crafting desires aside my inability to have a crafting shop. Not negative inability, merely honest. Having a physical laboratory requires a house , land, space. Urban life is not suited for most physical studies. Books/hand held crafting, nothing that is grander. And again, it isn't a problem. But I realize through 3D modeling I can make fictional forms to the various craft I am interested in. It is something. But, what to do for this contest? I have a contact page. If you don't want to leave a comment, contact me through there. https://rmnewsletter.over-blog.com/contact

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, wherever you are reading. 

Welcome to the 14th edition of the 2023 Richard Murray Newsletter . A closing thought on Women's history month in the U.S.A. from a heterosexual male.  Shani and the shadow in the Richard Murray Tip Jar. Some dates in April. In, IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, a question and answer from Jasmine Marie of Black Girls Breathing. South Side Home Movie Project 3/29/2023 webinar review. 

My Closing Thought on Women's History Month

I will start with the unimportant line, women's history is all year round. Women's history proves, an individual woman, a sole woman, one woman alone, can achieve anything. I repeat, history prove a female individual, girl or woman, immature or mature, can achieve anything, even against any level of male dominance. But history displays the biggest challenge in the community of women is growing greater as a group aside the community of men. The female collective in the last three centuries hasn't been able to overcome male dominance. Comprehend, dominance isn't evil. Sometimes the older are stronger than the youth. Sometimes the muslim are stronger than the christian. Sometimes the farmers are greater than the soldiers. The point is, in humanity, some communities are on a positive upswing while others are on a downswing, all the time. This is humanity. Females, girls plus women, need to figure out how to have a collective upswing. As a heterosexual man, women's strength doesn't frighten me or lessen me. When any other is stronger than you, if you want to be stronger than you have to become that. The challenge isn't a threat, it is merely a reality you make yourself. And, if you have no desire to be stronger than another, then you don't, and that is completely fine. But if you want to be stronger than any other by any measure, then the challenge is merely there.

Shani and the Shadow

A Upendi style poem. In my notes I have this as Shani and the Lion series. Where Shani goes from town to town. Facing a Lion that changes forms. If you like this story, maybe I will do another. The complete tale is linked as an audiobook below. An excerpt is available on Tiktok or youtube below.
