#3 on my list of creative influences is Roald Dahl. And the web site for his museum has a virtual look at his writing hut. 

Thoughts, in order: I want a writing hut. I want an armchair/desk hybrid. I want wireless connectivity (which I’m sure he didn’t have). I wish I had written the BFG. When is Wes Anderson’s The Fantastic Mr. Fox coming out? I need to leave the office. Why is his granddaughter so hot (probably NSFW)?

Anyway. Enjoy. (via BoingBoing)

Illustrator M. S. Corley reimagines the covers of the Harry Potter books. Instant nostalgiafication.
