[ID: Detailed, stylized painting of a black wolf stalking through a field of snow and plants. Above the animal is hand-painted text that reads: She slowly made her way through the prairie as snow receded and gave way to the pale lavender of pasque flowers and she took in the sweet scent of the rich soil. End ID.]

super special find at the second hand bookstore today! a copy of the 2008 Folio Society edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight illustrated by Diana Sudyka and translated by Simon Armitage!

very glad to have this in my ever-growing collection of green knight editions. Only gripe is that it is too tall to put on even the biggest of my book shelves...

"What if nostalgia is not a fruitless dwelling on those irretrievable moments of the past, as we are taught, but an attempt by sweetness to reach you again?

What if nostalgia is really located in the present, like a scent or ambience which is gathering around you should you avail yourself to it.

As anyone who has been heartbroken knows, there comes a time when, long after loss has been well-lived with, a small melody of love always returns. And to your surprise, you may recognise the tone of that love as the very same love you believed you lost.

It's then that you know that your love was always your love. And if you let yourself be unguarded to it, nostalgia may find its way back into the generosity of your presence."

DIANA SUDYKA (pronounced soo-dee-kah, it’s Slavic) is a Chicago based illustrator. As a child she was the one always looking under logs for snails and bugs, and not much has changed since.  

Early in her career she created screenprinted posters for musicians including Andrew Bird, St. Vincent, and The Black Keys. She moved into the publishing world by illustrating several volumes of the best-selling series The Mysterious Benedict Society and The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart. 

Working mainly in gouache, watercolour, and ink, subject matter and aesthetic choices for her paintings are inspired by a passion for nature and science, as well as a love for various folk art traditions. When not working, she gets outdoors as much as possible with her family, and still sometimes volunteers in the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History bird lab.

Hey there anon who sent me an ask about McCracken! I tried to reply but tumblr literally just ate the ask 😭 so we're gonna try this again! Basically anon was wondering why people tend to draw McCracken a bite more like Garrotte instead of the slicked-back hair look like the art in Book 3.

I think this is the art you're referring to:

but of course, we have the other art of McCracken from the puzzle book (by the same illustrator as above, Diana Sudyka) and from Riddle of Ages (by Manuela Montoya Escobar) :

So both of these depictions are a bit different, but they're both canon! I'm not an artist, so I can't say for sure why most people draw him the second way, but I think it's simply a matter of personal preference. For me, I usually picture him the second way simply because it seems a bit closer to how he's described in the text of the book, but I love both options and the slicked-back hair does contribute to the "slimy evil businessman" look

It’s hard to truly understand the changes that Earth has gone through over the last 200 years, let alone the last 500,000,000. But “from the prehistoric past to the dramatic environmental change of right here and now, the land has countless stories to tell.“

A bit like the Virginia Lee Burton classic The Little House, Diana Sudyka’s Little Land takes children on a journey through time so they (and we) can 'experience’ the changes through reading. I love the illustrative transitions near the end; it's also fantastic book for class projects, nature field trips, back yards, and busy cities, too. (There are Teaching Tips!)
