Bill Peet is a gem. You've probably read it, but 'Bill Peet an Autobiography' is fabulous. I have a soft spot for illustrator biographies and autobiographies. Congrats on the SOI Original Art Show!
Thank you, Denise! He's so good. His stuff is a little wordy by today's standards, but it really shows how much I was into it as a kid. I have that book - it's awesome!
The Whingdingdilly was ALSO my favorite! I'm about to go into my senior year of RISD and am required to bring in my favorite picture book. It was such a joy to find it in my dad's basement after all these years. Always a good one!
so nice to read your entry today. The Lynda Barry spots made me laugh…man, she is fun!…it’s kind and generous of you to share your insights/finds/inspirations. Thank you for being a Gem. Wump World and The Whingdingdilly are still with me after all these years. Congrats on LBBB i hope it will impact kids like Bill Peet did us all. i think its great!
The Wump World! Ahead of its time. I'm sure Mr. Peet would have some strong words on the environmental struggles of our time. You're welcome, Bob - thank you for reading and being a part of the community. I can only hope LBBB has even a fraction of the reach!
So thrilled that your amazing illustrations for BIKE were selected for the SOI Original Art Show!! Can't wait to hear which spread you choose...a tough call for sure! Happiest news of the week!

Bon Iver is one of my favourite artists! I think your interpretation is stunning💛 (also a bird is there, like a premonition on Milkwood's week)
Thanks, friend..I had not thought of that 🤩…

Ah…. The Wingdingdilly. It’s what dreams are made of. We sure did read that one a lot.
Congratulations on the “Big Bike Little Bike” honor

Thanks, Katie!
Congrats on the SOI show. I can't wait to see which spread you send to NYC.
Thanks, Diana! I'm leaning warthog, but still have the rainbow with the little girl in the running.
I'm partial to warthog myself. But I'm looking forward to seeing whatever you pick when I see the show.
