The " Australian Rationalist " magazine was a publication I contributed to between 1997 - 2010. ☆☆☆ It was excellent magazine under the editorship of : Ian Robinson ( Australian teacher of mathematics, author of theatrical plays and children books and a follower of Dalai Lama philosophy; Ian is still active in the tranquility of Victorian countryside ) Miss Elise Jones ( a brilliant editor currently the commissioning editor for Alan and Unvin publishers in Melbourne , Victoria, Australia) and Kevin Childs ( a great and fearless journalist/writer as well as a one of the New Zealand's Maori Chiefs ). ☆☆☆ " Authority and the Individual " ( 1949 ) by Bertrandt Russell was my main inspiration and for all those still (?) with working brains in " The Age of Global Cyber Circus" I would reccomend that book. ☆☆☆ Bertrand Russell - Born May 18, 1872, Trelleck, United Kingdom, Died: February 2, 1970 (age 97 years), Penrhyndeudraeth, United Kingdom; Influenced by: Ludwig Wittgenstein, Gottlob Frege, Immanuel Kant, Alfred North Whitehead, John Locke. ☆☆☆ Spouse: Edith Finch Russell (m. 1952–1970), Patricia Spence (m. 1936–1952) ☆☆☆ Awards: Nobel Prize in Literature, Kalinga Prize etc. ☆☆☆ Children: John Russell, 4th Earl Russell, Conrad Russell, 5th Earl Russell, Lady Katharine Tait. ☆☆☆ My front cover illustration was created with black " Conte " pencil and pen & ink on paper. ☆☆☆ The " Australian Rationalist " magazine is still (?) allegedly published (?) however I am 1000 % certain, that the late Bertrand Russell would not wish to have anything to do with it and it is quite possible, he would die of laughter after reading 3 minutes of " it ". ☆☆☆ The " Australian Rationalist " editions from the years 1997 - 2010 are not available on the " internet" and this is a very wise decision of the current " authorities " & " individuals". ☆☆☆ " Only the educated are free " ( as observed soberly by the ancient Greek stoik Epictetus ). ☆☆☆ Thinking is too dangerous, because it may lead to ...laughter... optimistically speaking. ☆☆☆ © 2000 Waldemar A.S.

" Cartoon” (1670s) first referred to the heavy paper on which preliminary sketches for artwork were made. While political cartoons and caricatures (literally “an overloading,” from caricare “to load; exaggerate”) are much older; “cartoon” was applied to them around 1843, then to animations c. 1916.

During 1997 - 1998 I was contributing my illustrations, cartoons and graphics to the Hobart's daily newspaper " The Mercury " in Tasmania. ☆☆☆ Unfortunately I've lost that job for quite absurd reason.

A " flier " advertising the " Independent Monthly " magazine's exhibition of published artworks. [ the Australian bird " Laughing Kookaburra " was not drawn by me ]. The event was organised by Mr Max Suitch in Sydney, New South Wales , Australia in 1991. It featured the best [ ? ] of illustrative talent the continent had to offer. I did not attend the opening in Sydney and perhaps it was " rude " [ ? ] since the first artist - Bruce Petty was known to me. He visited my studio at 4/69 Maystone Street, Hawthorn East, Victoria and sat for my portrait for the " Archibald Prize " in 1999 [?]. During his visit [ which was synchronised with him visiting his elderly father at the old people's home in Melbourne ] he did a small portrait of me with a instant marker pencil , gave it to me and said :" I always wanted to be like you ". That was very strange to hear, since Bruce was the only Australian Oscar winner in the " Animation " category at that time.

" Karen & Waldemar " . Photograph: © 2nd of July 2024; Alan Mitchell onwards. ☆☆☆ It is a single photographically documented scene from the making of a motion picture : " Belle de Noir " written & directed by Waldemar A.S. Buczynski. ☆☆☆ Alan Mitchell is a classic Australian photographer - the quiet achiver. His portrait of an " philosophical anarchist " [ as John Flaus describes himself ] - [https://www.melbournecinematheque.org/category/present-year/man-of-the-cinema-a-tribute-to-john-flaus-at-90 ] and [ https://portrait.gov.au/portraits/2022.54/portrait-of-john-flaus ] was recently selected by the Australian Portrait Gallery in Canberra and considering the fact the institution collects mainly paintings and practically every Australian has a camera and considers himself/herself a " photographer " - it's an honour for Alan Mitchell indeed. ☆☆☆ John Flaus spoke about the graduation motion picture made by Karen Buczynski - Lee [ than - Karen Von Bamberger ] " Anna's 27th Sense " on his ABC radio programme already in 1985. He said Karen's graduation film was " brilliant " and although he thought, he knew what was about to happen , Karen was always a " one step ahead of him " creating something totally unexpected. Flaus also met Waldemar Buczynski and told him, he is related to the American actor Charles Bronson. That is a factual information, however Waldemar never made any attempts to contact the legendary man. ☆☆☆ https://karenvitae.tripod.com/id2.htm [ Alan Mitchell ( in white overalls; photographs 1 and 3 ) while working as a still photographer on Karen's " Anna 27th Sense " .
