Rikka Sormunen, I wish I were half as good as you!

Phoebe Wahl

I have become a bit obsessed with Phoebe Wahl's work over the past couple days. It's all so charming and thoughtful. I'd really like to break out into making sewn dolls and creatures.

Also check out her tumblr. I went crazy reposting.

A Child's Garden of Verses

Illustration by Jessie Wilcox Smith for Robert Louis Stevenson's collection of poetry.

Nan Lawson Illustrations

Good morning!

It's currently raining in Seattle. I kind of want to shoot the city in the kneecap. It's summer, you fool!

Nan Lawson's I heart California illustration stirs up feelings of Golden State homesickness inside me.

I would like to frame her Best Friends illustration, because that's pretty much what every night is like for me and Dotty. SNUGGLE MUFFINS!!!!

Good old Lizzy and Darcy, AKA, every well-read girl's favorite couple. Forget Brangelina. It's all about "Fitzlizabeth." If only they could grace the cover, of US Weekly... More like Lake District Fortnightly. OMG, I'm hella clever.

In other news, I'm not seeing HP 7 p.II at midnight tonight. Kinda sad about that. If anyone wants to see it with me in the next week, let me know. Otherwise I'll go by myself and cry into my container of popcorn. To which, you should react like this.

Giveaway!

Would you like to win a free print from my Etsy shop, Zsu Zsu Illustrations? Simply leave a comment telling me which portrait is your favorite!

The contest closes Monday, May 9.

Eek, I'm so excited! Good luck!

Rachel Levit's Infographic

It's Hip to Be Square

Mister Hipp, you rock my world!!! My little nerdy heart is beating wildly for these awesome illustrations of Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Jem, my fav-or-ite cartoon when I was smallish.

Red Balloon

I really like this illustration series by Pyhai.
