I recently picked up this book at Green Apple earlier this week and it’s so beautiful I can’t stop looking at it! Some of you may have grown up seeing his illustrations in books like the The Golden Book of Biology. This compilation was assembled by Todd Oldham and is the most comprehensive book on Charley Harper right now. It’s GIGANTIC. You will not be able to fit it in your backpack or on your lap. Green Apple has one more boxed copy left for $49. This is an amazing deal given that this version of the book is $200 elsewhere and $125 on Amazon (hooray for Green Apple!) GO GET IT!! (If you don’t I will… although, if it happens to be gone, you can still get a smaller more manageable version of the book for a more manageable price).

Also, I haven’t really looked at this yet but apparently there is an iPad / iPhone game for kids based on illustrations by Charley Harper called Peekaboo Forest!

James Hance has reenvisioned Chewbacca, R2D2, and Han Solo as Winnie the Pooh characters in these super cute doodles. (I wonder though, if I think they’re cute because I’m old. A kid asked me the other day what Star Wars was and I was flabbergasted!)
