Dick Bruna ~ Zwarte Beertjes

via mieke willems
Zwarte Beertjes series, the illustrations and the covers are made by Dick Bruna.
Dick Bruna的 Miffy廣受歡迎, 但更多人喜歡他早期的插畫, 之前曾出版過他Zwarte Beertjes的專集, 好恨有不過好貴. 經mieke willems介紹, 在 flickr 可找得到部份"高清"版本, 五六十年代的創作, 到今時今日仍充滿現代感, 絕對歷久彌新的表表.

Terrible Yellow Eyes

That's why i often see works about Where the Wild Things by different artists from their blog. Let's visit Terrible Yellow Eyes and give tribute to the classic, you can also check out many artists' website and their blog.

對小王子的溺愛程度是每遇到不同版本的都想買下順道重看一次, 每次都會因應當時的生活體驗社會變異心情落差而有不同領悟.
可以的話.... 我...希望.......每人也會用心去看一次小王子.......
總好過去看那堆惱人擾人的主流傳媒頭條, 傳媒只會喧囂製造是非噪音, 其他人跟著走跟著回應, 社會扭曲至此, 讀者真的需要這些嗎? 為什麼沒有人走出來說不? 真的沒所謂嗎?

以公司之名而怱怱走訪深水埗, 僅夠時間順道買了幾個木吊飾, 本來有色彩繽紛的, 只是個人偏好啡色而已.

心癢癢到花墟走一趟, 又受不住肥嘟嘟的多肉植物所引誘, 買了好幾盆回家繼續作盆栽實驗.
為什麼會有小王子? 因為那堆仙人球令我聯想起小王子的行星(!!?)... 其實一見鍾情的是頭頂有一堆堆像松果的仙人掌, 但較貴, 故選了另一株也可愛的.

MOE 30周年特集, 又有專題關於愛畫大自然的繪本插畫家, 更有借口要買嚟睇睇.

11月號的裝苑大字標題"Stitch", 好吸引... 不過內裡的專題內容略為瑣碎.
(日元匯價高企, 難得還有裝苑賣$55, 說的是旺角MTR近銀行中心出口的報攤)
另外felissimo旗下的Couturier, 雖有免費的網上版, 但見到還是不能抗拒買下一本, 始終喜歡拿上手左揭右揭的感覺. (又再次俾佢d懷舊印仔吸引...)

Rifle - DIY wedding project

Mary Blair

10月號裝苑有兩版介紹Mary Blair, 因東京正有其展覽.
香港Disneyland 推廣"小小世界"時曾見過一列貼有"小小世界"裝飾的地鐵列車, 另我再次好奇那些熟悉的插畫是出自何人, 到現在才知道是她, Mary Blair.
Mary Blair 在Disney studios做了頗長時間的concept artist, 亦有畫兒童繪本, 她繪畫風格可愛討好, 但據說當年在Disney studios不是很多人喜歡她的畫, 卻深深影響著後來的插畫風格.

Amy Ross

動物x植物的cross over, 想像就如怪胎, 但經Amy Ross 形體化, 以輕巧柔和的筆觸表現出來又沒有太大突兀感. 是因為我喜愛的mushroom嗎?

換季

植物對天氣的轉變當然更敏感, 有些長多了黃葉, 有些開花(香港夏季太熱大多延遲了開花時間), 有些從休眠期甦醒, 亦有些相反進入停止生長狀態.
趁長假, 修剪了部份盆栽, 另外也組合/重組了一堆買買埋埋的多肉植物.
