Where’s Wilbur?
Unplanned wee cycle to Largs, great sunny day, sunnier than the whole of August.

Licensed Dealer in Tea (for Cooper)
Squintina Tabby — Licensed dealer in Tea [detail]. (Pen and grisaille drawing heightened with gouache.) One of the three variations on this drawing known to exist.
[Beatrix] Potter’s aunt and uncle owned a cat called Squintina (Squinty). Dated to about 1895, as a publishing firm adapted the picture that year for a cover of their ‘Comical Customers‘.
Jandek’s reference to a BibliOdyssey post featuring ornamental typography prompted me to succumb to temptation and revisit BibliOdyssey (always a danger), where I found lovely Beatrix Potter rarities.
Including many bunnies.
Hendrix on Pixar et al.
John Hendrix just got back from an illustration conference with lectures and presentations from Pixar story artist Gary Panter, Blue Cube Studios, and Starbucks Visual Development Guru Stanley Hainsworth and he posted his “notes“.
Glimpsed in Passing
I have never cared for great expanses of glass aperture, such as the once-beloved ‘picture window’. The ‘picture’ is almost invariably unremarkable, devoid of focus. I prefer tighter views — gazes concentrated on things ordinarily glimpsed in passing, as it were — and so especially like Cooper Renner’s sketch of ‘divider tables’ at Mr. Blixenbloxen.

Naked Blokes on Post-It Notes
“Cakes, biscuits and tarts”
Wil Freeborn. Cakes, biscuits and tarts.
Cindy, you were wondering whether Wil Freeborn “draws food cases filled with pies or cakes”.
I’ll bet display cases are not beyond his artistic scope.
