Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

…and here’s another little sneaky peek from the SODA Gift 2010 exhibition, a tea stained ink and pencil painting by Angela Mitchell. If you are looking for that extra special Christmas gift, pop in to Gift.

In the Mitchell & Dent studio, we discuss important things while we are working. Things like, “which muppet do you most resemble?”, being sure to make the important distinction between The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. Our SS conclusions? Mademoiselle Michelle is as sweet and smart as Prairie Dawn, Little Miss Fliss is organised and particular and a lover of purple like Telly Monster, Madame Dent is a klutz and a bumbler and a ditherer so Grover it is, Madame Mitchell could only be Big Bird (tee hee) and Mister Clifford, printer extraordinaire, is the voice of all reason – Kermit. We may buy him this artwork by Castle in Sydney, makers of embroidered artworks and brilliant bed linen. So, which muppet are you?

These exquisite illustrations are the work of Martine Johanna. With a solo exhibition coming up in Amsterdam (*sigh*) and works featured in a ridiculous amount of publications, this girl has talent in bucket loads. I am very curious to know which illustrations featured in Playboy.

We recently met design student Miss Megan Isabella and had a nice cup of tea together, chitchatting about terribly important things like cats and Frankie magazine and paper dolls and, oh yes of course, design. We do get sidetracked at Mitchell & Dent. You however, you can cut straight to the point and see Megan’s winter portrait project by clicking here. There is no better way to support your up-and-coming illustrators.

Let us preface this post with a Mitchell & Dent design disclaimer… in our other lives as brand boffins Studio Bomba, we are so fortunate to work with energiser bunny Clara Jane. Not only is she the mother of a one year old, but she has single-handedly established not one, but two, brand new businesses.

Lad & Lass creates artworks and interiors products as shown above, wholly designed and manufactured in Western Australia. Ball and Skittle is an online emporium that carefully sources children’s play, gift and home wares that are good for imaginations, good for growing bodies, good for the environment and good for the future happiness of the world. Good for Christmas too, I’d say.

We have more than a weakness for woodgrain, so you can imagine our delight when woodgrain meets art. Audrey Kawasaki, Amy Sol and Tiffany Bozic are three very talented ladies who bring wooden surfaces to life with their exquisite paintings. Each artist creates their own whimsical worlds where seductive goddesses float in a dreamlike state (Audrey Kawasaki), cute girls befriend magical woodland creatures (Amy Sol) and haunting animals inhabit surreal landscapes (Tiffany Bozic). Swoon.
