Dear Lew.
I hope you are having a happy holiday season.
I received a neat volume about this artist. I thought this plate in particular was fun and that I might share a photo.

A New Bookplate by Andy English
Dear Lew,
Thank you so much for letting me know! It’s my honor to share this bookplate on your blog.
This bookplate is a fairy theme bookplate, its
size is 90mm in height by 60mm in width. The content is a man on
the grassland, looking up at the flying island Laputa. Laputa was
adapted from the book Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. The bottom
of the island is flat from Swift's original book,
but I think it is too drab, so I advised Andy to design a huge propeller
instead of the flat bottom. The Laputa's buildings were adapted from
Russian's traditional Church buildings which I like it very much.
There
is a lovely classic pooh beside the man who is looking at the Laputa,
and a reindeer on the right side, because in the concept of role design,
the
man is my avatar. I like Children's illustrated books very much, both
E.H. Shepard's pooh and the reindeer in the "Snow Queen" from Edmund
Dulac's Andersen Fairy are my favorites. I also placed a fairy
blowing the wind in the sky and a windmill on the right
of the grassland so as to make the content richer.
Kind regards，
ShunXiang
