The blue bear. Love him.
And introducing a BEAUTIFUL book, both in design and sentiment curated and designed by the lovely Samantha Hahn. Her gorgeous illustration adorns the cover.
"I asked 25 artists & writers—each with a distinct style and voice—to submit a piece inspired by their idea of love, and then I published them as a book on blurb, a print-on-demand website. The contributing artists hail from around the world. I knew that each one’s interpretation of love would be singular, but with some profound similarities.
Love is the ideal subject for artists to interpret. We all love, but everyone defines love differently in their minds and hearts. We all love differently and the same. We are connected through love and art.
Love is available through blurb for $16.95 for a softcover, $25.95 for a hardcover with a dust jacket, and $27.95 for hardcover with “image wrap.” It contains 40 pages of incredible art including a couple of pages of amazing writing." ~ Samantha
It’s always an honor to be invited in collaborations like this one. This book is truly a gift of love from Samantha and all of us who participated. Now more than ever I realize how community, especially connecting within this amazing creative community that we all share, is so important. We are the ones, together, who will keep our economy, or country, our world, moving forward regardless of what "times" we are in. It is up to us. And I couldn’t think of a better symbol of this "coming together" than a book that is LOVE.
