Pierrot's Last Stand

One of the most facinating aspects to the story of Griffin & Sabine is the artwork of the envelopes and post cards. In the beginning of the book Sabine's artwork varies from Griffin's tremendously. Her artwork is more sketch like and obscure. Griffin's artwork however is surrealist and has defined lines and you know exactly wat you are looking at. When analyzing the details you see that Sabine doesn't adhere to typical standards such as placing the stamp in the upper right corner of envelopes, and where she puts the adresses. Griffin however at first always puts the stamp and address where they are suppose to go. Over the course of the story their artwork begins to become more and more simular, and Griffin and Sabine start to display simular tendancies of where they place the stamps and adresses. Finally, Griffin's last post card Pierrot's Last Stand shows no clear distinct lines and is completely unclear. This is more of Sabine's origional style. These details help prove the theory that Sabine is a figment of Griffin's imagination and that Griffin finally goes crazy once their personalities unite.

Art without borders

“Griffin&Sabine” is an interesting book with the mysterious and wear postcard in it.  First look at the post card, I had all different funny or goofy understanding of those post card. I am very impressed about the painting and art on the postcard. I did not get the moral from those arts,so I can have different way to explain them when I have different mood. Like the first postcard from Sabine, I felt the bird has a huge head and no wings on it.Maybe Sabine has rested her freedom on the bird.Or there is a secret that we will never know.

I think this book would not be as intriguing and exciting to read if it was not designed and layed out in the way that it is. A normal chapter book relaying the same story would probably be considered boring. The best part about this book for me was deciphering the post cards and reading into the characters through them. I think this book shows how much can be determined through the handwriting of a person and the way a person writes. I think that people who write in all capital letters are usually very confident and can even be seen as sometimes cocky. In all of Griffin's postcards, he writes in capital letters and is very direct and down to the point. This shows he is an accomplished and confident person. Whereas Sabine is more mysterious, indirect and I see her as shy and awkward in a sense. All of this information is determined through the characters handwriting their styles of writing. If this story was written in a different style of writing, none of these factors would have been able to be determined.

Phantom of Ghost

" Foolish man. you cannot turn me into a phantom......"
I used to doubt that SABINE was actually another personality of GRIFFIN. Since she knows so much about him that she probably was GRIFFIN's imagination because of his lonely heart. However, after i saw the last postcards that i realized there is no stamp and postmark on it! Griffin just wrote the postcards and the content were he started to think maybe SABINE is not a real person. Then he was missing! There was also a reply in the studio from SABINE! Let's think about that there was a ghost lived in GRIFFIN's studio, and she could watch every action he did throught her blood-red eyes. The island she live is just a phantom that never exist. She hided secretly in a corner and laughed at his helpless. At last, she was just tired of the torture on the letter and decided to kidnap him or kill me!

I really enjoyed this book and the fact that you could tell so much from the littlest things. I first thought that it was just a little story of post cards, but it ends up being so much more. I love that the artwork on each post card tells a story in itself and then the writing doesn't even need to say that much of a story or about the character. The most interesting thing to me was the fact that how as the story went on, Griffin's letters started becoming more like Sabine's and vice versa. At the end, I also noticed right away that the last two post cards had no addresses to them yet they're talking as if they received the letter. I believe that proved the theory of Griffin's insanity and the fact that he made up Sabine's existence to keep himself occupied in his lonely, miserable life.

Exotic postcard

Talk about a stalker! Could you imagine getting a letter from a complete stranger who is convinced they have an ability to see your every move? This could merely be a made up character of Griffin's imagination for his yearn to be known in the art world. But through this book it has become evident that the artwork of the postcards that Griffin is NOT normal. Not only is it likely that Sabine is a figment of Griffin's imagination but through the story of her life, Griffin's fantsy world from his boring life is able to come out.

Griffin and Sabine

I believe it is very interesting to see how Griffins attitude drastically changes between each letter. For instance in the letter sent by Griffin he uses language such as "please enlighten me" showing no signs of anxiousness or curiosity. However on March 15th his attitude shifts dramatically and he reviles just how intrigued he is by Sabine. Throughout this book I found it difficult to figure out whether or not Sabine actually is a real person or if Griffin is just crazy. The intriguing photos suggest greater details than the text in the book supplies for us. I went back and forth debating whether I think Griffin is nuts and this is just a call for help, or Sabine is a real person.
