Where will my curiosity take me, you say? Down the road of some Curious George fan art this time around! Also, one way to honour another legend too with this here quote :-) “Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grown-up.” - Tim Curry (1946 - 2026).

About a year and a bit ago, I bought myself a copy of the very first Miffy book by Dick Bruna from Paper Tiger because as I often say, why not? And as many of you know I’m still a big kid at heart, hahaha. More to the point, the style’s similar to my own and naturally… inspiration intensified today!

It gets hot and muggy in the deep forest during summertime.
