I guess that college students can enjoy the life and relax, just because the research writing services would aid to accomplish the communication and media essays writing of supreme quality.

I think this print would introduce the idea that reading is an adventure and you can become anything just by picking up a book to my two young children. And it would look pretty classy in their room.

i just love it!

This reminds me of my childhood when I used to read for hours and my mother would have to nag me to turn my lights out! The shape surrounding the character reading suggests the stories wrapping themselves around her but for me it also suggests a force (my mother)trying to pull me away from the book and how I had to pull the duvet over my head to hide the light from her! (Also, my favourite colour is green, so this definitley belongs with me!)

Would love to put this in my office for myself!

This print can do the impossible: describes feelings!

In this print we can see how imagination is. We can see how beautiful our mind is when we are telling a story…

This print it’s the proof that there is life in our imaginary world.

Ana's work is always so fantastic and unique, I love her style!

[Maya]

Wow, what an amazing looking print! It would look good in my livingroom.

[roberta]

I love this print, every one..! I see them for the new bedroom of my girl, they should be fantastic.

I love how fun and fantastical this print is. It captures my desires for my children to both nurture their imaginations and to love stories.

[Katariina]

I'm a bookworm, so is my boyfriend, and most likely our little son will become one too (after he starts reading books rather than eating them). Ana's artwork captures how I imagine our story telling times will be, flights of imagination for the three of us.

[Kate]

The way these creatures are being nourished by reading and imagination is exquisite. And I always love the way Ana uses greens in her work.

I'm totally in love! Where do I start? Shades of olive green are totally my favorite color, timeless and would go with abolutely anything in the house. Leaves and flowers are a current inspiration for me that allows me to create, create and create more jewelry. Winning this will give me something to look at and admire while creating my nature inspired pieces.

I love the whimsy in this piece and the bold use of unconventional dark pea green color. Its something that you can ponder over and would bring delight to me as much as my four-year old daughter. I could definitely see this in her room or mine! Love it!

[zahra]

I've just moved to Melbourne and live in a rented house.Art and design is the only thing that keeps me happy and going. I cannot afford to buy any art and having this awesome print would make life worthwhile!!!!

[Stephanie]

I would be thrilled to hang this print in my son's room. The foliage sheltering the creature are a great metaphor for my son wrapped in the arms of his father during their nightime ritual of enjoying a good tale. Teige is 8 months old and his daddy reads to him every night before bed. My husband works long hours (like many people with young families) and bed, bath, and book time is a special time for him and my son to connect at the end of the day. I would hang this above the rocking chair where Teige enjoys storytime.

[Amber]

My little 6 month old boy has become enamoured with books in the most beautiful way of late. This print captures all the mystery and excitement I see in his eyes every time we pull out a new book to read. Beautiful!

[Lis]

This new print from Ana Ventura called "Tell Me a Story" tell me the storys that i read to my sister when we was a childs. We use to sleep in the same bed just to live the story togheter. I miss those days... my sister would like this print to.this would be for her if i get it.

Sorry for my english. I'm from Portugal.

[Beyssa Buil]

This print plays tricks on your eyes very well represented by lovely little gnome/creatures who normally are little tricksters themselves. lounging on the plants daydreaming. This is exactly what I would if I would win the print. Daydream all my cares away. Why should I request the honor of winning - this last year was no fun - gallbladder removed, my beloved dog of 11 years passed away, d i v o r c e :( and the latest malady lost my job. Three months and still looking. So hopefully this might help me daydream of tulips and rainbows.

[Michele Santos]

This print makes me think about how we enrich ourselves and become others while reading good books. I just love its peaceful and inspiring atmosphere.
Besides, it would go perfectly in my office!

[Kay]

if I don't win it , I buy it

[zsu]

I'd like this because it looks like me. And because it would match my little cabinet that has the animal tails hanging off it. It only has a metal suirrel sitting on top so this print would be perfect to be hung over it. Plus, it would be a great wedding gift for me and Hubbytobe. I'll send you a picture!

I love Ana's work: her dolls, prints, slippers and sneakers, etc. Very talented woman. I like the whimsicalness of this, the composition, the silhouette quality, the unusual colors. But I think what I enjoy most is what it says about books. Reading (being a favorite of mine) is such a wonderful avenue for the imagination. It can transport you into real and fantastic worlds in just a few sentences.

[Christine]

Love, love, love this print! It is perfect for our living room, which has many green and brown accents, but to be honest, I feel that I might have to give it to my little brother because I think the little creature reading the big book looks like a sweet monkey. My brother is 8 and has a modern/ antique monkey collection that this would fit into perfectly!!! Fingers crossed! Thanks for the chance to win- so fun!

[Tootie Maldonado]

I simply love Ana Ventura! I must say this print reminds me of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys....which as a child I LOOOOOVED! I even thought (as a child) that I would grow up and marry Peter Pan. I would make my little brother watch the movie with me over and over...and now he's a father with two children and I see him watching the movie with his kids and the funny thing is...he acts out the movie...word for word! It's hilarious!!! If I won this print, it would always remind of the child within.

[Suzy Shedd]

This is just one of the best visual depictions I've ever seen of what happens inside a reader's head -- and graphically awesome, to boot!

[mariana]

I'm also portuguese and me and my sister are Ana's fans for quite a while... And I've been wanting to give her one of these prints....
And this print it's just what books did for me.... opened great new worlds ever since I was a small child! (oh yeah, and most of the readings were actually in our garden!)

[rute]

I'm a nature lover... this print takes me into those moments, all by myself, when it´s only me and the sound of leves dancing with the wind, while i read!

[Aimee Kishell]

I love it! The colors, the creatures...it's perfect. This would go great in our study.

[lucia]

Reading we can fly away and be able to create new worlds...she tells exactly that!

[pinto sobral]

Ana has an unique way to bring magic to us all, through her drawings... Everything always so colorful balanced, and harmoniously sweet... I hope this print brings all that magic to someone... even if it's not me!!!
If your reading this, congratulations for the wonderful work Ana!

[lorena]

Es precioso! perfecto para el cuarto de mi niña!

[Zelia]

I just love it because it takes me away to a beautiful place called imagination!

[Geo]

This is delightful. My favorite part is the upper left corner. I love how the bird is so calmly riding away on the branch-foot of a magical sprout-guy. So much fun. I need some fun on my wall!

[michelle]

i love love love ana's work!

[q]

this print takes my breath away! i am moving soon, and leaving so many things behind or giving them away. but i am taking all of my books with me.

[alixkate]

Love the colours in this whimsical print!

[fert]

ooh... prettttyyy.

[Kristy]

It's the colours that do it for me, plus the whole whimsical idea of creativity coming out of your head! Love it!

[abe]

Great Print! As a reading teacher turned art teacher it combines my two loves!

[Cris]

I could look at this print for hours and hours just imagining what is going on, and more and more could be imagined - what each of the characters do and their relationships with each other, how you get absorbed in reading, relax, feed from others wise minds or lay on your back in a funny position.

[Vera]

I could read this story in portuguese, english even chinese or greek. These images are translatable into an universe of green poetry, an ethereal design where I could live and breath more clearly. Draw/write on my walls the green wisper 'once upon a time'...

[Yvette]

I'm an art librarian, so this print would be perfect for my office!

[Jen F]

This print is special because, like all thoughtful art, it means something unique to each person who views it; this makes it is not only beautiful to look at, but a fun discussion piece. But what resonates with me, personally, is that it reflects what the inside of my own mind looks like [on good days]…little creatures drifting about with all sorts of ideas, adventures + dreams sprouting from them.

[Janelle]

I'm an art student who'll be moving half way across the world to study at Central Saint Martins in London, having this print would help me to remember through all the competition and stress, that the most important part of an artist is the imagination.

[hannah]

i love how whimsical this print is. it reminds us how reading inspires the imagination. beautiful!

[Marsalive]
