Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

I have no words for the loveliness of Londoner Gemma Milly‘s illustration. It is pretty and girly and sweet and sassy and just perfect for a sunshine-y day like today. Enjoy.

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.

Marisol Spoon are a mister and missus living in NYC. I’m surprised. With the fairytale sweetness of their wonderful work, I was certain they lived in a gingerbread cottage in the misty mountains, surrounded by frolicking foxes and cavorting kittens, dining on strawberries and drinking dandelion wine.

Sheffield lass Su Blackwell knows how to create pictures with words. These miniature dioramas are delicately formed from old books carefully sourced from second-hand bookstores. These sculptures are like pop-up picture books for adults. No touching.

Okinawan-born artist Yuken Terayu sees beauty in ordinary everyday items like toilet rolls. Don’t you wish you could take a peek at the world through his eyes for just a moment or two?

How exquisite are these? M&D knows we can’t compete. May as well not even finish this post, because you’ll be picking up your mouse and scooting on over to the oh-so-clever Perth photographer Angela Higgins‘ website right now, won’t you? Wait, wait, wait. Be sure to peek at her blog too. Are they distant squeals of delight I can hear?

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.

Miss Toni from Leederville’s Rohan Jewellery just lent us Lula, Girl of my Dreams and we’re not sure we’re going to give her back. This UK magazine is so so dreamy and not just because it has lashings of M&D fave font Kursivschrift. You might find it difficult to find the latest issue right here right now, but if you ask nicely, I’m sure Mag Nation will send you the next one for a fee. Off you pop, then.
