Plump sound all a-round
Boos-ting Dees that year-ly frowned
--
Dreams keep Night-mare drowned.

Page 008 of the Kirby Art and Style Collection Artbook depicts a concert, held in front and on the Fountain of Dreams in Dreamland, Planet Popstar.

Many different frenemies line this page, Blade Knight, Waddle Doo, Chilly, Blipper, Bronto Burt, Scarfy, Gordo, Waddle Dee, Cappy, Bonkers, Mr. Frosty, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Kirby themselves!

But secretly, underneath it all, the dreaded Nightmare too.

(Although I think he was defeated at this point XD)

I love this piece, it encapsulates the joy of celebrating a Victory, and keeping the peace in Dreamland well.

This place is very nice, and cosy, but too many people come to disturb it from space.

I couldn't live with that!

Well.

Unless they're nice people.😊

Hot air ri-ses high
Soft pa-lettes of swee-ties fly

Joy shared in the sky.

Page 006 of the Kirby Art and Style Collection Artbook, depicting the 4 characters, King Dedede, Waddle Dee, Kirby and Meta Knight, in a hot air balloon celebrating Kirby's 25th Anniversary (it is now closer to the 34th anniversary, this artbook is a little old)

A better look at our soft coloured characters on Page 006 of the Kirby Art and Style Collection Artbook, I admire how well our dear @nanrait.bsky.social has been able to make the coloured lineart, that Kirby also uses, into their own personal style, and it gives me a newfound love for how kind it is to my eyes✨️

Welcome to Summer Shadows🖤
For the next 13 weeks, I’ll be releasing a new horror/supernatural-themed poetry chapbook each week.
Think sunlit dread, haunted heatwaves, and ghost stories told by firelight.
First one is here now! #poetry #horror #poetryseries #indieauthor #poetrycommunity #supernatural
