Book By Its Cover » Milk Teeth

Julie Morstad

I was so excited when this little book came in the mail. As you know, I’m a big fan of Julie’s work as you can see here or here and I’m so glad Drawn and Quarterly is too. This new book of her work is perfect. It’s small and simple and set on white- a good match for her delicate fine line drawings and etchings. The book contains many of the images which you can see on her site here plus a few I hadn’t seen before. I love looking at these and getting lost in her fairy-tale like world where rabbits dance upon a small boy’s head or little girl’s grow long fox tail looking arms. I just learned from Drawn and Quarterly’s press release for this book that Julie has a line of wallpaper (who doesn’t these days?- they are just working out the kinks on mine.) which you can see here- beautiful! You can pick up a copy of this book here- for only 12.95(!) a last minute holiday gift anyone would enjoy!

ps. I think Tiny Showcase should set up an automatic payment button so those of us who have a Tuesday nightlife don’t miss beauties like this.

I’ve been looking to see if this has popped up on amazon for the last month. It would be so much easier if i could just get this with the other stuff i’m planning on ordering. I think I’ll just keep checking!

So gorgeous! I particularly love that first image- it reminds me of my nieces when they’re at our house and bored to death.

I ordered this book and 4 days later it arrived in England and its just beautiful, I am an illustrator and sketchbook person. I am in awe of her imagination and the quality of her drawings.
And this amazing website as well, I go and have a look at all the books and things, it inspires me do do some more work.
Thanks
