I love Sophie Blackall's beautiful and quirky illustrations.
'We Shared a Bear Suit' from Sophie's book
'Missed Connections' available at Amazon
Recently, I stumbled across an article at 'The Inside Source'

collection of inspirational objects and fantastical curiosities...
To quote the article...
"Blackall's Brooklyn home and studio are a window into her creative process.

she shares with her two children, is filled with carefully-curated, nearly-ghoulish
oddities that don’t necessarily creep you out, but just like her illustrations, instead
bring an odd smile to your face .... in Blackall’s own words, her dwelling is
something of a “Victorian Natural History Museum....” you can view more here
