There is a certain uplift and elevation one feels while listening to Louis Armstrong's beautiful song
"What a Wonderful World".
This painting is dedicated to him and his song. Listen to his music here...

This weekend also saw me finishing the very fun Red Scared!: The Commie Menace in Propaganda and Popular Culture by Michael Barson and Steven Heller
This is not a history of communism (although it does offer plenty of that) nor is it pro- or anti- Commie. Instead, this is a light-hearted, but very well-researched, book about communism's role in American pop-culture.
It spends a lot of time looking the movies, books, news coverage, and pamphlets published and distributed during the twentieth century. Starting with reaction to the Russian revolution, and then moving to America's love affair with Russia during WWII and then the cold war proper and the COMMIE MENACE. It touches on the stories that took America by storm-- our love affair with J. Edgar Hoover, the McCarthy trials, and communism in Hollywood. It does not actually examine these issues in-depth but instead looks at how they American public perceived them and what type of news coverage they were getting at the time.
And that's the point of the book, how America perceived communism and what type of treatment it got in the news, as well as in our entertainment. It's a great look at these issues. Especially wonderful are the massive amounts of full-color illustrations of movie posters, book covers, comic books, trading cards and massive amounts of memorabilia and ephemera to illustrate everything...

....and its Spring when the world is mud luscious.
Oh e.e. cummings I love you.
And if you are the sort of genius who remembers this whole poem then to you I will say,
not all lame, queer goat-footed balloon men are ill- intentioned.
by the way, How has Spring found you? or has it found you yet?

The annual Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival is one of my favourite things about living in Oxford. So many wonderful speakers, so little time. OUP always has a few events lined up, and the first happened last night. To celebrate our soon-to-be-relaunched Oxford World’s Classics, we put together an event called Blogging the Classics, which pitted professional literary critics against literary bloggers in a debate about who offers the best kind of guide to books. It is, as you can imagine, a subject close to my heart - I couldn’t wait… and I wasn’t disappointed.

Did I go see Poison last night? Why yes, yes I did. I rocked out in an awesome way. And luckily I work in a library, because I have a very quiet voice today. Screaming loudly all night long will do that to you...
It was a great weekend. Poison just put a nice big bow on it. Friday was my golden birthday,* and I treated myself to a day at the salon (I'm rocking a new cut and color. I'll post some pictures later) and then Dan and I went to see the Simpsons movie before meeting up with friends for drinks and dinner.
*True midwesterners will know what this means and will therefore divine how old I now am.
My parents gave me a hammock and so I spent Saturday enjoying that while reading the ever-exciting, yet very insightful, Managing Archival & Manuscript Repositories. I was planning on doing much of the same on Sunday, but it was rainy rainy rainy rainy. Bad for hammocking, good for my dry dry dry lawn and flowers. So I instead hung out on the couch. After awhile, I turned on the TV and guess what was playing? Right on the channel that was on? This Is Spinal Tap! How fitting! Then we saw POISON. Rock on.
Anyway, shall I talk about some books? I think I shall.

Your beautiful drawings are blowing my mind!
Thank you for your kind comment on Happy Panda. It has made my day.

This is lovely, Amy! Yes, Spring has FINALLY arrived in the midwest! It has been a very long winter here. In fact I had just posted about it on my blog a few days ago.
I didn't realize that the weather in Japan was so similar to the US's seasons.
Had you asked yesterday, I would have said spring has arrived here in northern Canada. But we did see snow flurries this afternoon. All in good time.
Thanks Rachel!
ditto you made my day :)
thanks for the link- great line work there

Phyllis,
It seems like where we are, the seasons are hitting a little before the mid-west. Not that I mind because it was still a long time coming.
I am checking out your blog :)
amy
Well Tom,
I am sorry. I looked out my window this morning and it looked like it was snowing, but it turned out to be cherry blossoms.
all in good time :)

Hi Amy! My 9 year-old daughter and I are desperately in love with your work, and especially love The Dog Who Belonged to No One. She would love to share a illustration that she did based on that little guy. Would you be willing to share an email so that we can send it to you, or is there another way to do it? She is "selling" an assortment of cards and other crafts that she created at a fundraiser for the local SPCA (we are also in PA, in Chester County) in two weeks, and giving all proceeds to the SPCA. We'd love to share! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent - Maia and Katherine
