Artist: One to know about.....CHARLEY HARPER

Green Jay, 1956.

As a designer, I am continually influenced by the world around me. A trip to a museum is the perfect way to escape the heat, rain or snow. Artists never cease to fascinate or inspire me!!

Charley Harper, the amazingly talented illustrator and designer is at the top of my list!

His wildlife images are uplifting, colorful, crisp and modern. There are an array of books available, featuring Charley's work.

http://www.ammobooks.com/, carries a limited edition series of silk screened books. Beautiful!

http://www.amazon.com/, carries a number of Children's items, including blocks that aren't available yet but, may be "pre-ordered"

This children's book cover would be the fabulous starting point for a nursery!!
