Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

Due to popular demand, Madame Mitchell created a set of perfectly pretty prints like the illustrations on our Mitchell & Dent website. Inspired by high tea and spring time, they would be a welcome addition to anyone’s mantle. Doesn’t your cat drink from vintage teacups too?

Harry Rogers illustrated these screen-printed posters for the Australian airline Qantas in the 1950′s and they are ridiculously wonderful. Even more wonderful is that they are now available again, this time as limited edition giclee prints. I want the Singapore tiger, no – the Australian kangaroo, noooo – the Canadian moose, noooooo – the Pacific Islands sea turtle.

We have tittle tattled about Miss Gem here before, but oh my, it was so nice to spend some time with her in Melbourne. We don’t know how Gemma Jones can possibly be just the one person, given all the creative wonderfulness she does. See her art here, her blogs here and here, her shop here, her day job here and her writing here. I suspect she doesn’t sleep. She can’t possibly. Or maybe her work-a-day has an extra hour in it?!

So, where did our guide Gem take us for the most perfect of days out in Melbourne? The Camberwell Sunday Market (be sure to ask Madame Mitchell just how many vintage dresses she bought), lunch at Seven Seeds, a cup of tea with Pip and Cam from Meet Me at Mike’s, a mooch about Gertrude Street and a dip into Lost and Found (former home of Ray Cook ramekins – more – later). Could life be any sweeter?

Thank you Gemma.

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.

Milwaukee’s Erin Paisley is quite possibly the sweetest, most self-effacing illustrator I have ever come across. Describing her work, she says “I’m terrible at planning things out”, “when I sit down to draw, I have a big eraser by my side”, “I usually don’t know what my drawings will be” and “I pretty much just belly flop into everything I do and hope for the best (I was never very good at diving either…)”. And then she makes works like these!

Mrs Gust, Mr Flurry, Ms Drizzle, Dr Rainbow and Miss Sunny. This Whether the Weather small print series by Mademoiselle Michelle is so sweet it might give you cavities. Titchy tiny limited edition artworks for little nooks and light pockets – available individually or with a sweet little discount if you buy all five. Either way, I want to know which university Rainbow got his doctorate at?

I have no idea how John James Audubon managed to get his subject matter to stay still. Maybe his past profession as a taxidermist helped matters along. Prints of his beautiful paintings are available for purchase here.

On the other side of the world to us, but clearly Madame Mitchell is not ready to let the warm weather go and face autumn. She has made these wonderful prints of her original ink and graphite artworks on tea-stained paper available through our little online shop Mitchell & Dent. Mind you, Madame Dent is just a little concerned about what kind of shampoo Madame Mitchell uses.

A little bit of shameless self promotion here. Folks are getting excited about our affordable art for little nooks and light pockets. Even the lovely Earl and Jan from Poppytalk wrote a brilliant blog post on plagiarism and illustrated their case with a Copy Cat. Once sold, these limited edition letterpressed works will never be available again. Never. Ever. Not even if you ask nicely. Bunnies and ducks make a great alternative for chocolate this Easter.

We’re feeling a little dented and soggy after the wild wild weather yesterday but are happy to see the sun starting to peep out from behind the rain clouds. Hope the rest of you Perthonalities are ok. Here’s a little extra sunshine in the form of cute artworks to help brighten your day.
