I’m a huge fan of the Vintage Illustration Pool and the Vintage Children’s Books Pool at Flickr. It’s a great resource when you’re stumped for a fresh colorway, or just a place to look at good old vintage illustrations and be inspired.

Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you again next week!

Dawn recently cleared her art drawer, and found 60 of her art in there. Her beautiful pieces are placed side by side in this picture here, and all of them are so beautiful.
Once she’s settled in (about three months from now), she’s going to clear some of her stock, so you better watch out when she does. They might end up at her shop. 🙂
