Bredon: "Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?"

Walter Joseph Phillips (1884 - 1963) was an English born watercolour painter and illustrator who spent much of his career in Canada. He is remembered as a master and pioneer of woodblock prints and his works are displayed in galleries across Canada and the United States. Philips was born in Lincolnshire, England. He showed a talent for drawing at an early age, and at 14 years, Phillips attended Bourne College and the Municipal School of Art in Birmingham. At 18 years of age (1902), Phillips moved to South Africa with the intention of raising enough money to study art in Paris. However, he returned to England with little more money than he left with. Phillips then worked as a commercial artist for a few years and became art master at Bishop Woodworth School in Salisbury, England, serving between 1908 and 1911. Phillips married in 1910 and they immigrated to Winnipeg, Canada in 1913. He soon befriended another English artist, Cyril H. Barraud, who taught him etching technique and sold him his printing press and equipment. Phillips taught at St John's Technical High School, and then at the University of Wisconsin. In 1925, Phillips and his family spent a year in England developing his art skills, particularly his woodblock techniques. Starting in 1940, Phillips taught for two decades at the Banff School of Art and at the Institute of Technology and Art in Calgary. During this time, He focussed on painting watercolours.

Yeah—tbh I prefer Bredon is Master Ash. And that Cinder has nothing to do with Denna—though I say I prefer it, I enjoy the implications of Cinder being all three people. It’s excitingly dramatic.

For all you Kingkiller Chronicles fans out there: Captured in Words has a very interesting and thoughtful video on who Denna’s patron might be. He looks at the arguments for and against whether Denna’s Patron Master Ash is Cinder (a member of the Chandrian, who are the antagonists of the books), someone who is a member of Amyr (the Chandrian’s enemies) or Bredon (Kvothe’s nobleman friend who meets Kvothe at the Maer’s Court in the country Vintas). Trigger warning: the video does contain mentions of murder, emotional and physical abuse of fictional characters. Please note that his video contains spoilers for The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear. The third book Doors of Stone isn’t out yet. One of the things I like about his video is how he talks about Denna with kindness and respect. 🙂💕 The video also has beautiful fanart by other people of Patrick Rothfuss’ characters from the incredible King Killer Chronicles novels. Feel free to check it out. 🙂

I just finished the first part of Volume 1 and I feel death come for me. It consumes my soul but I can't stop fucking reading.
