Gulliver’s Travels
by Caroline
After years and years of doodling, painting, collages, newspaper layout, graphic design, and generally obsessive aesthetic behavior, I have a very particular eye. The phrase “Don’t let perfect get in the way of good” should be tattooed on the inside of my eyelids because I spend a LOT of time letting perfect get in the way and have long given up on trying to make other people see things my way.
All that is to say: I am picky. Book covers are one of the major reasons I can’t get behind the Kindle and never will. And you know what? I LOVE this book cover made by one of Kelly’s art students. Not only in that “What great student work!” way — this is a really clever, well-thought-out design.
In fact, I like it better than any of these Amazon search results.

And you know, I love the sort of folk art approach he took. It reminds me of the paintings of the Rev. Howard Finster. http://cartophilia.com/blog/images/little_creatures.jpg
Thanks Caroline! I’m loving the new design here too. :)
