Children make terrible pets
A fun and innocent story where the roles of man and mascot have been reversed. The illustrations are by the author Peter Brown. What i like about this is not only the sotyr and illustrations, the bubbles and the font used when the bear or the kid talk, are handmade. Construction paper and handmade type complete the well illustrated story of the bear and it's pet.

I’ve always kept this dirty little secret locked away in the gates of hell, but hiding it like that is making my stomach growl more often. So a treat for you all, I present you with my wedd photography site. I don’t go to the dark side of weddings, the 80s-posing-lotsa-lace-exploding-flash-in-your face-extravaganza is a nono. I like it simple.

infinite pages
A store-closing-borders is the cause of the many up and coming book posts on the blog. So I didn't waste time, bucked up on the sale and took home as many kids books as I could. What I love about children's book is the illustrations, the designers and authors really let the story come across the style of illustration the book has. The ones i've bought, even began to use them as references to practice my own drawing skills.

boneface
His stirred up the internet a bit this month with his awesome ly made illustrations of beat up super heaors. Although those are greatly executed and it's rich in color, Boneface has a colletion of drawings a bit more sober or mysterious from past years that made me want to post his work here. children and innocent themes are recurring in his earlier work, something I'm a sucker for.

Arándanos para sal
The first thing that cought my eye with this book, where the illustrations. A simple palette of dark blue and pages with rich texture in a pale creme. Beautifully put together, the author Robert McCloskey has left a mark in time because of his stories for children. To my surprise, he is also the person who draws al the amazingly detailed illustrations for his books. This story is a simple tale of a child who get's lost from his mother and ends up following a mother bear. I won't go into detail, so you guys can enjoy it on your own.

After hell
Dorothy is a "collective of like-minded people working on unlike-minded ideas." Their message may be simple but brilliantly effective. Toy soldiers that take on a narrative that innocence protects you from. This soldiers have return from combat and are frozen each in there own fogotten state. .We always hear about the wars and combats but never the aftermath of a personal battle this people have to face on there own.
"The hell of war comes home. In July 2009 Colorado Springs Gazettea published a two-part series entitled “Casualties of War”. The articles focused on a single battalion based at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, who since returning from duty in Iraq had been involved in brawls, beatings, rapes, drunk driving, drug deals, domestic violence, shootings, stabbings, kidnapping and suicides. Returning soldiers were committing murder at a rate 20 times greater than other young American males. A seperate investiagtion into the high suicide rate among veterans published in the New York Times in October 2010 revealed that three times as many California veterans and active service members were dying soon after returning home than those being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. We hear little about the personal hell soldiers live through after returning home."

ya heard?
“Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adults themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence…. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
