Felix Doolittle Sketches

Wes Anderson’s new film Moonrise Kingdom has an all-star cast, a delightful concept centered around the summer camp AND personalized stationery. What’s not to love!

Summer camp is often such memorable period in a child’s life, and with sleep-away camps, it’s often the first time kids really develop a passion for writing notes and letters (OK, that’s because no electronic devices are allowed, but still!)

Felix created the Junior Camp Postcards with a blank front bordered by a bright color to cultivate the visual artist within each child. The other side features one of Felix’s illustrations of the camp experience and room for the camper to write a small note.  You’ll want to remember to pack color pencils or their small palette of watercolors along with their camp gear!

But they’re not just for kids, we use them too to write postcards from camping trips or even after a day trip through the woods.  You’ll be surprised how fun and inexplicably inspiring a small blank “canvas” is.  Give them a try – your inner artist will thank you!  They’re also 20% off today through Thursday, May 24th.

Send us photos of the works of art that are created by your campers (or you) and we’ll do a blog post about the best of the best of them at the end of August. Send your photos to us at felix@felixdoolittle.com and let us know the age of your camper or if it’s an adult rendition (just say adult, we don’t need the age!)

Will you see Moonrise Kingdom? What are your fondest memories of summer camp?
