Mr. Hacker — 1990

This handmade journal was created from a 1990 printing of Mr. Hacker by beloved author-illustrator James Stevenson, with artwork by Frank Modell. A gentle, quietly humorous story, Mr. Hacker captures small moments of determination and curiosity as a man and his loyal dog set about solving a simple winter task beneath falling snow. The charm of Stevenson’s storytelling lies in its softness and warmth, pairing understated humor with tender, expressive illustrations that feel timeless and familiar.

Inside the journal, ALL pages from the original book appear throughout the blank writing paper, offering glimpses of snowy landscapes, cozy scenes, and expressive watercolor drawings as you turn the pages. The overall tone feels reflective, comforting, and quietly joyful — the kind of journal that invites slow writing, thoughtful notes, or everyday story-keeping.
