you might not know, but i am a big fan of swedish illustrator {camilla engman}. her drawings & paintings are always so different from what i usually see, and i think that they have some swedish mystique, which i love. she is also a dog person, and in these last months, she started a project dedicated to her dog morran. the dog is well-known to everyone who knows camilla, as morran was her friend for a long time, so it was no surprise that when she announced the project, asking for submissions with anything related to morran, illustrations, drawings, collages… hundreds of submissions were received.
finally, after a great jury decided upon the submissions, the book was brought to life this week! but the sad thing is that morran is no longer here to witness all this joy. i was so sad when i read the news… i could not believe, not knew that morran was actually sick. so, other than this sad news, the good news is that $4 of every book sold is going to be donated to wspa – world society for the protection of animals in sweden. and the rest of the money is for blurb, who is publishing it. and so far at leats $400 were donated! so if you love dogs, and if you knew morran… this could be an excellent christmas gift, knowing that you are also helping other animals with your gesture.
you can go {here} to sneak-peek and buy the book, as well as explore {studio morran} and camilla engman’s {blog}, {website} & {shop}.
