Introducing a perpetually adventurous muse, this modern-day legend fabricates the fantastic reality of a 21st Century, comic-book-style, cartoon character for the arts. The story narrates her fairy-tale life and tells the story of where she came from and how she got here; who she is today and why she landed in downtown Orlando.
Portraying its innovative entertainment value, the book takes the reader on a wild ride through the literary art of fantasy. Presto! The reader emerges back into reality with a treasure map to follow, leading directly to the legendary landing spot of “AngiArts”©, who had just traveled through time warps and millennia to land in downtown Orlando with her magic pet swan.
Beckoning the reader to embark on a unique interactive adventure, the book then takes the reader on trek around Lake Eola. The Fantasy Swan Monument offers viewers a quiet moment to ponder the treasures of their own dreams and artistic inspirations.
Engaging comical fantasy, the Inaugural “AngiArts”© Comic Strip rallies Orlando’s performing arts and events centers, currently under construction and projected to open in 2012.
As a master seamstress and costume designer, Angi Perretti contrived the character of “AngiArts”© in 2006, initially conceived as a caricature of herself, but created to rally and promote the arts and culture movement in downtown Orlando. This character became the 9th member of her "Walking~Works~of~Art” collection gallery of human identities, all whom display Angi’s elegant trademark designs and private label collections.
As an author on a mission to inspire the cultural history of the City Beautiful, and as an instrumental participant to join others in promoting Orlando to a world-class arts community, Angi Perretti makes her own cultural contribution to the community she endears by creating this laughter-inspiring, skyscape-hopping cartoon character … “AngiArts”©
CHAPTER ONE
King Melchior’s Kingdom
Once upon a time, a long time ago in a far, faraway land of Orient glory … A time when ancient royalty ruled kingdoms for thousands of years … A time when legends abound with the mystical mystery of magic potions and powerful genies … A time when folklore portrayed its fantasies through the storytelling of magicians and the prophecies of sorcerers … A time when following the stars and interpreting dreams as messages from God became a powerful world that existed beyond the senses, utterly defying the existence of reality … There lived a very famous king.
