    Ah, Su Blackwell's artwork. I love it so much that I developed a project for my 3D students to do where they alter PB books. It is so inspiring and beautifully rendered. Thank you!

    Heart-wrentchingly beautiful (is that a word? spell check thinks not) I can't imagine a more succinct portrayal of how an amazing book blossoms off the pages, I'd never put one of these down
