Stories & Pictures

Discussing image craft, wordcraft, and storytelling with comic artists and wordsmiths.

Abian van der Meijden

Barefoot dragon slayer, illustrator, designer, and rampant author

With Stories & Pictures I'm aiming to discuss storytelling elements with other storytellers in the hope of collectively learning more about stories, comics and wordcraft. Welcome. Sit down and join us as novelists and storytellers meet to discuss their loves.

The Lineup

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stories & Pictures: timing

Timing and pace, it seems, is a big deal in the story of Creation. The build and break of storms are there for us to learn from and enjoy. Today we aim to bring something home with us.

Sailing Sunward

There is something to the cheer of the Philistines, the emperor’s lowered scepter, and the growling of the lions that shows character more than anything else. We hope to learn from the greats that faced them.

The Art of Style

Peanut butter sandwiches, Creepy John, and discussing taste with Joelle Stone

Web of Truth

Webs, detective yarn, elves, and how symbolism works in story and life.

Frames & Lenses

Framing colours how we see a story. Ava and I will be discussing how to curate those elements
