pls elaborate on your last post. exactly how many dreams about welcome home have you had
in hindsight?? not that many, actually. there was just like a solid 3-4 months where it was All i would dream about. i actually posted the freaky rpgmaker dream a while back as a tangent on an unrelated ask, but other highlights include:
the one where a new page got added to the site that i think was called "tattle doodles"? they were in a different style than the guestbook drawings - some were in clown's regular style while others looked more like raw pencil sketches. a few i remember included julie looking into a house at nighttime with this blank-eyed stare, and another one where frank was like venting to wally. there was a speech bubble from him that read "i just don't know what to do!" while wally looks back at him like a dog who swallowed the remote. but for some reason frank's wearing julie's dress and there's like an x-ray view of what's inside wally (it's a hand holding an apple) and i remember it being a kind of viscerally terrifying shot. also the entire time this is happening there's this absolutely feverish country song playing over it that only had a single verse repeated over and over again. i think it was something like "and you ain't never gonna lose what you never could've found."
the one where the website itself got like, hijacked? the art style shifted to something a lot more quentin-blake esque, and the neighborhood map in particular was a lot more crude, like crayon/color pencil sketches over a dark background. the blurbs for each character all got like Absurdly long and weirdly personal and accusatory and were very clearly not referring to the characters alone anymore. at some point i find a bunch of links to like, various webpages and fake news articles talking about this guy named thomas stone who i think knew ronald dorelaine somehow?or worked with him? and they had a falling out of Some Sort. either way my brain somehow made the connection that he was responsible for the art shift, and that was his art style. i don't remember anything else.
the one where the homepage got all gunked up. there was some writing in the background behind wally and every time i refreshed the page there was more of it. i don't remember what any of it said, except that it was very disparaging and the handwriting didn't match any of the characters'. it was written in like, black mspaint pencil, i would say. also at some point there were like, very simple drawings of the WH characters getting hanged at the fuckin gallows? like it started with poppy and after a couple of refreshes a new character got added. for some reason poppy had this color scheme from some older concept art.
the one where there was a cd single from wally, somehow. i don't remember anything about it except that he was a shockingly good singer, which is probably how i knew it was a dream.

Inktober 52 2023 - Week 2 - ‘Puppet’
(I like this sketch. Was just quick but it came out a bit Quentin Blake !)
Sooooo a while back I had a dream about a bee character who was a sad clown, and she looked like one of those ‘cartoon bee with a dog nose’ sort. I doodled her, but didn’t really have much to add (plus I already have a ‘pierrot’ clown character called Perri).
But when this prompt ‘puppet’ came up, I was thinking of doing fan art of Guillermo del Toro‘s Pinocchio (which is awesome, and you must watch it if you haven’t) and looking at Sebastian cricket made me think of this bee clown again. So instead, I re-vamped her look and made her a sort of puppet. Whether she is a puppet or her act is pretending to be a puppet, I haven't decided yet.
I’m still toying with looks and colours. I’ll have to come back to her at some point!

I’m a fan of Quentin Blake’s art from his Roald Dahl book covers 📚 but wasn’t familiar with this story book or this animated short which brings to life the organic, unapologetic pen lines & watercolors of Blake’s beautiful illustration style. I enjoyed how the subdued animation pairs with Helena Bonham Carter’s narration to deliver a charming Christmas classic 🎄

In Biblioteca puoi scoprire autori e opere che non conoscevi o di cui avevi sentito parlare ma che ancora non avevi avuto modo di leggere. Ed è per questo che abbiamo deciso di dedicare un angolo alla scoperta di questi "tesori nascosti".
Oggi l'opera e l'autore prescelti sono: "Clown" di Quentin Blake.
Un piccolo clown di pezza viene buttato nell’immondizia insieme ad altri giocattoli. Lui, però, ha troppa voglia di vivere e di salvare i suoi amici e, tra rischiose peripezie, bambini gentili e adulti arrabbiati, passerà di mano in mano, fino ad atterrare in una casa dove c'era bisogno di lui per ritrovare il sorriso. Una commovente "odissea" che il maestro Quentin Blake racconta senza il ricorso ad alcuna parola: si tratta, infatti, di un silent book, l'unico di questo autore noto in Italia grazie alla casa editrice Camelozampa (che ne ha reso possibile la pubblicazione in Italia).
Una delle cose più interessanti dei silent book è la possibilità di letture multiple rappresentate da una varietà di storie, partendo da quella principale pensata dall’autore. Ogni lettore, pagina dopo pagina, può raccontarsi e raccontare ciò che vede, sente, immagina, proprio come il pupazzetto protagonista che, una volta "rialzato da terra", si tufferà nel mondo, anche se non sarà facile farsi accettare per quel che si è. Il nostro clown dovrà affrontare ostacoli, cattiverie e brutte esperienze e lo farà senza perdersi d'animo. Una volta riemerso dal secchio dell'immondizia dove era stato gettato senza ripensamenti, il clown si mette a rovistare in giro e trova un paio di scarpe azzurre: con queste inizia il suo lungo viaggio, con la volontà di aiutare anche gli altri pupazzi gettati via insieme a lui. Una bambina, vedendolo, decide di portarlo a casa, per poi essere nuovamente gettato via, stavolta scagliato giù dalla finestra. Gli toccherà scappare da un cane dispettoso e da un uomo forzuto che lo lancerà per aria così forte da farlo finire direttamente dentro la stanza di un bambino in culla. Ma non tutti i mali vengono per nuocere...Il bambino, a modo suo, si affeziona a Clown, così come la sua giovanissima babysitter. Comincia così un dialogo immaginario fatto di gioco, aiuto reciproco e collaborazione, un dialogo che porta alla serenità e alla volontà di darsi da fare per rimettere a posto la situazione. Clown dimostra come siano le piccole cose a fare la differenza e quanto sia importante non perdere la speranza.
Quentin Blake dimostra in questo albo come i valori universali di generosità, onestà, amore, amicizia, aiuto nei confronti del prossimo in difficoltà possano essere compresi da chiunque, specie dai più piccoli. Infatti è con i più piccini che Blake instaura il suo muto dialogo: sono loro a vivere l’affetto per un pupazzo e a intristirsi nel vederlo maltrattato; sempre loro mostrano di non stupirsi della sua vivacità, avendo gli occhi ben aperti alla magia del quotidiano. Gli adulti, ci fa intuire chiaramente Blake, non scorgono più questa magia, dal momento che per loro il clown è solo un pupazzo vecchio, rovinato, inanimato, maleodorante e sporco.La straordinarietà di Blake sta nel trascinare, letteralmente, il lettore al fianco del piccolo eroe in questa corsa contro il tempo (immaginiamo che il bidone prima o poi sarà vuotato!), contro i pericoli e le ingiustizie, in cerca di aiuto e ascolto verso la salvezza. I bambini partecipano all’avventura, meglio sarebbe dire condividono, perché l’aspetto emotivo ed empatico di questa storia è potente e immediato.
Occorre un po’ di attenzione nel leggere le sequenze narrative e seguire i movimenti. È un libro che va gustato senza fretta e più volte, per cogliere i passaggi logici, i dettagli, le interazioni tra i personaggi. Apparentemente semplice, come ogni silent book, racchiude una complessità tutta da indagare. Per questo lo consiglio a bambini grandicelli in lettura autonoma, oppure a bambini più piccoli ma in lettura condivisa e accompagnata.
Sir Quentin Saxby Blake (nato nel 1932) è un disegnatore, illustratore e scrittore britannico. Il suo nome è una garanzia per quanto riguarda il mondo dell’illustrazione per bambini e ragazzi; ha disegnato più di 300 libri, e ha ottenuto un successo internazionale grazie alle illustrazioni presenti nei libri di Roald Dahl. In Italia lo ricordiamo anche per le sue collaborazioni con la scrittrice Bianca Pitzorno, confermando nel tempo uno stile dal tratto gentile, leggero e umoristico, sempre pronto a lasciare spazio alla fantasia dei lettori. Nel 2002 ha vinto il premio Hans Christian Andersen per il suo contributo alla letteratura per l'infanzia.

I’m looking for a children’s Christmas book about an elf. Would have been from the 80s or early 90s. The illustration was similar to the old cartoon Red Bull commercial. I am always reminded of it when i catch a glimpse of Buddy reading his book to the kids at the end of Elf. That book looks very similar.
Hi! I can definitely look into this for you and see what I can find but it also makes me think of 'Clown' by Quentin Blake, a picture book from 1980 set at Christmas with art similar to Red Bull (pic below). Does this match what you're thinking of?
