Curl up with a book? More like curl up IN a book! 🛌 This Victorian collage album is a mansion in book form 🤩 Created in the 1880s or 90s, it would have been the ideal setting for some choice paper doll drama. It’s part of the Winterthur Library, and has been fully digitized! You can view the whole thing here.

Ah yes, it’s the monthly ‘I’m in the middle of four books but I desperately want to read some Herman Melville’ mood.

Oh, to travel back again North and haunt the aisles of the Providence Athenaeum with the shades of Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and H.P. Lovecraft.

Leigh Bardugo asked me to draw Darlington from Ninth House! (I dropped my phone. She’s one of my all-time favourite authors). The sequel to Ninth House, HELL BENT, came out this week :)

Every time I have a book voucher to spend, it ends up a tie between getting another Melville and getting another Woolf.

Marlene Dietrich reading. 1930’s.
In her films and record-breaking cabaret performances, Dietrich artfully projected cool sophistication, self-mockery and infinite experience. Her sexuality was audacious, her wit was insolent and her manner was ageless. With a world-weary charm and a diaphanous gown showing off her celebrated legs, she was the quintessential cabaret entertainer of Weimar-era Germany.
