'Τhe Wild Wood' from the Wind in the Willows by E. H. Shepard, early 80's

E.H. Shepard's illustrations seem to completely capture how I felt as a little girl. I can't wait for his illustrations to become inspiration for 1/3 of my final piece.

Winnie the Pooh quotes

Piglet: “How do you spell ‘love’?” Pooh: “You don’t spell it… you feel it.”

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have and one of the nicest things you can be.

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.

“We’ll be Friends Forever, won’t we, Pooh?” asked Piglet. “Even longer,” Pooh answered.

How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

What’s wrong with knowing what you know now and not knowing what you don’t know until later?

If it’s not Here, that means it’s out There.

If people are upset because you’ve forgotten something, console them by letting them know you didn’t forget—you just weren’t remembering.

I always get to where I'm going by walking away from where I have been.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

I wonder how many wishes a star can give.

Those who are clever, who have a Brain, never understand anything.

Because Poetry and Hums aren’t things which you get, they’re things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you.

“What day is it?” asked Pooh. “It's today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh.

'Handsome bell-rope, isn't it?' said Owl.

🎞️ When it was announced that Mickey Mouse’s design from “Steamboat Willie” would be entering public domain, I contemplated whether or not to do my own take on Mickey’s particular design from 1928. Last October, I had done a drawing of Mickey with Tigger on animation paper to commemorate the 100th birthday of the Walt Disney Company. As a character, Mickey Mouse is still protected by copyright and trademark laws. Plus, A.A. Milne’s version of Tigger is now in the public domain. Tigger did not make his debut until the second (and last) original “Winnie the Pooh” book, “The House at Pooh Corner”. 🐭🐯

Arthur Rackham's illustrations for The Wind in the Willows are very different from E.H. Shepard's, but there's something almost complementary about these two images. I wonder if Rackham took any inspiration from the original illustrations?

All 14 images of Christopher Robin's bedroom shown in the live action opening for the two Winnie the Pooh Holiday Specials A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving and Winnie the Pooh A Valentine For You and the ABC versions of Winnie the Pooh Boo To You Too and Winnie the Pooh And Christmas Too. And the 15th image is all the stuffed animals of Winnie the Pooh and his friends from the opening sequence that were made by the companies Gund and The Disney Store that resemble their original Ernest H. Shepard looks.

Tigger Tiber bouncing good

Through the Hundred Acre Wood;

What frivolous hand or eye

Could frame thy boundless energy?

Made these Winnie The Pooh photos a wile back by putting the original E. H. Shepard drawings and putting them on my photos in photo shop. Hopefully I'll get to sell these as note cards someday

Illustrator E. H. Shepard drew this for a limited edition book bag.

E.H. Shepard Winnie the Pooh

It was the 115th anniversary of The Wind in the Willows on the 8th of October.

I reread it earlier this year, possibly for the first time since I was a child, and it certainly struck me in a different way. There were large parts of the story, such as the chapter The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, that I didn't remember.

Another thing that struck me was how different England must have been 115 years ago. If there's a villain in the story then it must be the motor car, tearing through the countryside, upsetting the older, slower way of life like it upset the canary yellow caravan, and straining the friendship between Toad and the others.

Perhaps the thing that would destroy Grahame's England the most was waiting just over the horizon in 1908. A little over a decade later, the world would emerge from the worst conflict in history. I doubt if the River Bank and 'messing about in boats' could have survived this, or its equally destructive successor two decades later.

Sometimes I feel like the world described by Kenneth Grahame is more of a fantasy than Middle Earth.
