Children's Book Illustrations that Stayed with Me as a Little Girl (Part 1)

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn illustration for The Wind in the Willows by Mary Jane Begin

Mermaid's Lagoon from Peter Pan by Scott Gustafson

Jean Zallinger's Hook from a Bullseye Step into classics version of Peter Pan. He's certainly not as dashing as Jason Isaacs, and I loved his teeth which I imagined all yellowed and reminded me of a skull. I also imagined his eye gleaming red.

Michael Hague's take on Smaug

Freya's Hall illustration from D'aulaire's Book of Norse Myths. This illustration soothed me and I wanted to be in their company.

And more D'aulaire art, from their Book of Greek Myths, Gaea and Uranus. I LOVE Gaea in particular - the way the river flows through her neck, the way his stars are reflected in the pools of her eyes...

...the birth of Aphrodite... I LOVE the colors here, the oranges and golds that mingle with the blue-green of the sea.

...and Perseus and Medusa. I loved Medusa's design in this book because it felt so unique, not usual depiction I was familiar with and also not Harryhausen's take.

Arthur Rackham's illustration of the third sister's encounter with the human children. This one definitely encouraged my naturist tendencies when I was little lol.

the Asian Lung from Dragonology

Dora Curtis and Diana Stanley's illustrations for a 1964 edition of Jean Ingelow's Mospa the Fairy that I found in my elementary school library - ALL of them - the header for the first chapter always connected with me because it promised wonder just on the edges of our own world, even though it wasn't one of the fabulous color plates...

...an example of which I share here.

(I think I'll continue in Part 2 because this post is getting rather long.)

Instead of telling men to repress their emotions to appear stronger we should encourage them to sing incredibly dramatic ballads to process their emotions like in fictional movies. Maybe the world would heal faster. And also it would be very funny.

These are my personal favorites.

[angelltheninth]

Do people realize how amazing 2023 has been for entertainment? How much talent and passion there was so far?

We had: Barbie, Nimona, Oppenheimer, Super Mario, Elemental, Red, White and Royal Blue, Insidious: The Red Door, Across the Spider-verse, Scream VI, My Adventures with Superman, Heartstopper S2, The Little Mermaid, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Guardians of the Galaxy V3, Skinamarink, Miraculous: Awakening, John Wick: Chapter 4

And we still have Wish, The Creator, Ahsoka, Saw X, Wonka, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Rebel Moon, Loki S2, Five Nights at Freddy's, The Marvels, Dune Part 2, The Continental, A Haunting in Venice, Percy Jackson and the Olympians

2023 has been one of the best years in terms of quality entertainment recently. I don't ever remember being so hyped and amazed and surprised by so many things in a single year.

There are so many amazing things this year, have amazing people as their cast and crew. And those are the people Hollywood wants to fire and replace and not pay. I can't imagine being that fucking stupid.
