This is a really good piece, which touches on why graphic novels are doing well (& has a excellent observation about celebrity books).

I keep staring at the newly released photo of Kate Phillips as Jane Seymour from season 2 of 'Wolf Hall'. I can't get over how beautiful her dress is, and how much it looks like the famous Holbein portrait, even down to the blackwork. This is historical costuming done right.

Spring is springing! 💕

Drawings from Discover. Best request was a tennis racket! 😆

The exhibition of the original artwork from Adoette is on at Discover until May. 🌳💚
