Hilary Knight's Eloise (and skipperdee too)


Hilary Knight

Quentin Blake

some things are tremendously significant, some things are moot.
i do want to be an artist, and a poet, and sometimes i want to be an illustrator. i want to work in a library, or in a museum, or for a publishing company, but mostly i want to be a continuity announcer, just like Kathy Clugston. 
i adore Hilary Knight, Lugwig Bemelmans and Quentin Blake, and the sinister motivation of Joe Orton's defacement of sacristy. the pelicans i lay my hands on have led me to become a little obsessive and i found such a website that seems to be filled with gems.




ive got a notebook and its black and red on the corners and when im done with it it will be properly filled (again) and be colourful and have lots of profound words in it. maybe ill have pictures ive not decided. i just want pretty things and proper words with meaning.
i think i want to work for Faber. i am fairly certain that is what i want to do out of all the choices i could make. 



i went and saw midnight in paris the other day, and my goodness it was wonderful, it made me dream of everything nice.  this is the best note to leave this illustration/feline inspiration post/traveling mind of mine. au revoir until i get it together
