In some cultures there are gods of fertility, others call it a miracle from god, but all were fascinated by this seemingly magical event, with all of its sensuality, passion and emotion. Perhaps, this was best described in humankind's history by its art and verse. Now then, let's discuss the Asian arts, specifically Pan Asian arts of sensuality, sexuality and passion, elements of the divine, magic and intrigue. Indeed, no book has better explained the universal truth of past periods and their emotional connection than a art pictorial book, which I have on my shelf. One which I bought after the Pan Asian exhibit; "The Sensuous Immortals" and to that note, let me recommend that you pick one up to read, educate yourself and entertain friends and family by displaying the copy in your own family room: "The Sensuous Immortals - a Selection of the Pan Asia

As mentioned in the inside flap of the book, "3D cartoons are becoming the hottest thing in Hollywood, and they are also taking over TV."

My brother continues to be a great source for new story ideas. Just like he recently linked me up with Bruce Bell, one of Toronto's most well known experts and historians, he recently read about a German photographer by the name of Susanne Schleyer who had just published a new book, "Unterwegs" ("On the Road") with 100 photos and stories from 12 different cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem, London, Paris, Prague, Rom, San Francisco, Saint Petersburg, Venice and Vienna.
