I love illustrations. Quentin Blake's illustrations for Roald Dahl have always been my favourites and nothing has really come close to them since. They're comforting, like hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. They take me right back to childhood.
I stumbled across the blog Thistledown Spirits by chance, just bored (jobless) browsing other bloggers' links. I adore them. There is something hauntingly sad about them. The artist is KT Smail, a Scottish illustrator who says on her website "she makes and collects pictures like posies of paper flowers." Which is sweet.
They are for sale as well - so if anyone is still looking to get me a present for Christmas......
