Back in the halcyon days of October, I received an interesting package in the mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There were two things in the package. One was a book for my niece, then not quite two. The other was a print for my stairwell gallery.<\/p>\n

The artwork was by James Hance<\/a>. The book was “Wookie the Chew<\/a>,” a clever little book that reimagined a galaxy far, far away as the characters from A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The artwork for the book had garnered a fair little bit of buzz online, looking at it does like something E.H. Shepard would have done.<\/p>\n

I wanted one of the prints for my gallery, and I wanted the booklet for my niece.<\/p>\n

It was an easy purchase.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, I thought to look and see what other artwork Hance might have produced in the past six months. Hance has a particular fondness for taking things that should never go together — like, say, The Muppets and Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Man” — and making them work together. Really<\/i> work together.<\/p>\n

I looked at his page of prints<\/a>, and I saw one that really captivated me, “Amy & Doc.”<\/p>\n

It’s a Doctor Who<\/i> print, in a Calvin & Hobbes<\/i> style. Imagine young Amelia Pond and her much larger imaginary friend, the Raggedy Doctor, running off to have an adventure.<\/p>\n

It was cute. It made me smile. And so I bought it.<\/p>\n

Hance is also taking donations for the medical treatment for his young daughter<\/a>, and I thought it only appropriate to kick in twenty-five dollars there, too.<\/p>\n

My good deed for the day. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
