Holy #$^%, you guys. THIS ILLUSTRATION of Cricket Bell by Simini Blocker.
I never, ever, ever show pictures of what my characters look like, because I don't want to spoil what's in *your* head, but . . . I had to break the rule for this one.
Because this is *my* Cricket.
Ohmystars, Simini. You have made me a deliriously happy author!
(I am dying. DYING.)

ReplyDeleteDid I tell you that Cricket is my favorite person ever? 'Cuz he totally is. This is sooooo cool!
I just this on tumblr and had to reblog, he is adorable and like you said the perfect Cricket!
ReplyDeleteThis is how I pictured him! Except less cartoon-y. :)
ReplyDeleteI FINALLY was able to get the book the other day and I finished it last night. I LOVED it. And I want to marry Cricket. :D <3
This is so adorable! I really want those pants, js.
ReplyDeleteAww, it's perfect! I love it; it's exactly what I imagined Cricket like. So adorable. <3
ReplyDeleteSimini was my roommate in college for YEARS! She's an amazing artist, and an avid reader. The perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteCricket is one of the greatest characters. I love him!
ReplyDeleteholy cow! she even draw the rubber bands in his wrist! and the socks!

The pants! The hair! Oh, I can't get enough.

ReplyDeleteTHAT'S PERFECT. I mean, you couldn't possibly resist posting this picture. Obviously.
ReplyDeleteI adore him. Plain and simple. This picture will definitely replace my mental image, and gladly!
ReplyDeletePS I picture Etienne as Alex Day from Youtube. FYI.
He's perfect!
ReplyDeleteAgain, wow, thank you Stephanie. You know that awesome feeling when someone who's work you really admire like something you did? Yeah. That. It's fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your books because the characters are so fully developed that they already feel like people I know. I can't help but want to draw them up.
(Also, umm, there's a higher res version I emailed you a couple weeks ago. I don't know when I'll get printing going, so, there's that.)
And his hair is so, so tall!
ReplyDeleteMy Cricket..
He.Is.Perfect.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Simini!
And lucky, lucky Steph!

He even has the shy smile like the real Cricket! He's spot on!
ReplyDeleteHaaaa, this is awesome! It's sorta how I pictured him. The boy on the cover kind of interferes with what I have pictured!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!!! :) :) :)

ReplyDeleteJust finished it last night, and this picture is perfect for Cricket, down to the littlest details. Its fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI adored Crickets character, he is perfect in all his imperfection.
Oh my goOoOoOoOsh, I love him! She's so talented. Love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm printing this out and hanging on my wall. Legit, this is amazingg. Amazing. It is exactly how I pictured Cricket. AHHHHHHH! *fangirl scream*
ReplyDeleteJust finished Lola for the second time! And, of course, it was still just as perfect as the first time through!
ReplyDelete*swwon*
Cricket!
Great very hard to post this keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI have homework. I have tons to read. I have chores to do. And yet, here I am, with Lola just finished reading. It was extraordinary. It made me feel like I don't deserve guys like Cricket. Because I just broke up with one. And I want not to care about it, but I can't. Lola is a wonderful book. I wish I met those extraordinary people who made you write this great book so I can make mine as close to awesome as yours is.
ReplyDeleteand also, I think you have just been upgraded as my favorite author.
cute!
ReplyDeleteI want to draw sparkly pink hearts around this picture!! It's amazing, it totally embodies Cricket! LOVE it!!
