Why current literature for children sucks

For those that know me, you're aware that I'm currently unemployed. I've been puttering around my Dad's storage shed (my Dad sells used books) and I came across a box. It could have been filled with another set of French encyclopedias - BUT NO. It was filled with something much better.

TURN OF THE CENTURY CHILDREN'S LITERATURE. Most of it is in rough shape but these are still amazing little bits of history. There are many qualities to these old books that I think we should bring back to current children's literature.

1: PIRATE KITTENS

2. VIOLENCE

Yes. You read it. Bunny on his way to execution. That holy cow better get to praying.

3. POLITICS POLITICS POLITICS. I was blown away by this little piece of paper I found in a decimated copy of Grimm's Fairytales. Hmm....pigs? Wait....let me fold this right here......



OH SNAP HITLER.

4. WEIRD PRODUCT PLACEMENT.

5. QUALITY ILLUSTRATIONS OR WHATEVER

Yes Abby. I scanned that dragon just for you.

Okay. I guess I should go get a job now.

It's now been a whole week back home. The weather report said it's going down to 8 degrees tonight. I'm drinking hot tea and listening to the radio. I was so frazzeled from the end of fall semester that I haven't done any real art, just sketches and prep work. Hopefully I'll start to work on some more finished pieces tomorrow. For now here are some photographs of what my life looks like. I hope everybody has been having a good break.
