🔐 Friday drops are for paid subscribers only. One thing from the world that’s captured my attention.
The Young Readers Press First Dictionary
If you’re at all interested in art, design, collage or any visually arresting form, Instagram is a treasure trove.
There is one artist in particular I follow (I’ll share below), whose art I’ve used for this newsletter, and whose posts I particularly savor. Not long ago, he posted this dictionary for kids, first published in 1967.

Then, he opened the dictionary and shared some of his favorite images.
Taking in each one individually seems to slow down time.
After scouring the internet, I managed to collect more images from that dictionary, and I’m sharing my favorites here.

Friday Drops are for paid readers. If you’d like to read the rest, and discover the name of the artist I follow, please consider supporting my work by upgrading today.
