This is flippin’ fantastic.

I love images that make your mind flip. And this guy’s illustrations are full of mind flips. Not brain-hurting mind-numbing mental gymnastics… but a (probably deceptively) simple, rather whimsical wit-flip that I thoroughly enjoy.

He’s got a book out too… I know what I want for Christmas!

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
