Tove Jansson

at some point over the winter I watched this documentary on Tove Jansson, who is probably one of my biggest influences. It really inspired me in how she led her life and how she treated being creative. It really showed how I could make books if I put the time in. It was the first time I have ever felt a desire to write, I had always half assumed I would have a writer and i would just illustrate but watching this really made me want to do it all myself and to be able to see the worlds that I create come alive. I'm really excited by the prospect of making my own children's book. This excitement also caused me to binge read her books and I started doing some really Tove style drawings for awhile.
