I’ve been waiting and waiting and WAITING (months, I say!) for the brand spankin’ newly-released book of my very favorite artist’s illustrations. And it’s HERE!
It doesn’t disappoint, either. It’s huge! Do you see that nickel to the left? HUGE, I tell you!
Look at it open.
That’s four full-sized water bottles! (My first measuring attempt was with steak knives. Not very child-friendly, mi amigos.)
This is the greatest day ever. I feel like Ralphie from A Christmas Story.
If you’ll excuse me, I think I shall spend some quality time with my sweet Charley Harper.

I love starting internet rumors.

August 15, 2007 at 12:06 pmYay Charley Harper! I just LOVE his work. And to Emily — I really have been considering incorporating a few of his illustrations into our new nursery — they’re just perfect for a child’s room. If you’re into all things modern, whoorl (as hubby and I are), I must send you some pics of the mid-century modern home we’re restoring right now….
