Elinkan - Kontakt: Feline Zegers Illustration Storybook Fantasies: 10 Classic Children’s Fairy Tale Illustrators In a world where it’s not uncommon for children to own electronic devices that are far superior to the phones the rest of us have been holding together with duct tape until our next paycheck, International Children’s Book Day is a beacon of hope. The celebration honors the import role reading plays in healthy child development, aiming to instill a lifelong love of printed works for young bookworms across the world. The event coincides with Hans Christian Andersen‘s birthday — the Danish author whose fairy tale gems like The Little Mermaid, Thumbelina, and The Snow Queen have delighted the minds and hearts of readers big and small. Children’s storybook illustrators have been bringing the tales of Andersen and other authors to life for eons, offering an imaginative entryway into each fable’s unique universe — many of the artworks now inseparable from the books.

colour comparisons i felt like these deserved a re-post! you see, i have been going through my archives and i rediscovered these Period Drama vs Street Style colour comparisons that I did way back in 2011 for Hila (you can see the original posts here and here). i never actually posted them all here so i thought i’d share. and, damn, i did pretty well if i do say so myself! Hila and I share a great appreciation for period dramas, she even wrote a book about screen adaptations of classic literature. she also wrote this marvellous post for me in 2012 about the locations of some of her favourite period films. i haven’t watched a really awesome period drama in a long time. i sort of dabbled in Mr. Selfridge which i found average at best, and completely gave up on Downton Abbey (they really should have stopped while they were ahead). i have also heard of The Paradise, but i haven’t watched it yet. any period movies / series you can recommend?

Fed up scrambling for my phone every time I want to know the time. Finding this watch strangely attractive. This week I'm loving Zaiba Jabbar's new music video featuring Jaime Winston: ART DEPARTMENT - We Call Love (feat. Soul Clap & Osunlade) Completely in awe of Elise Morin's artwork - this landscape is made from over 60,000 CDs. These glasses by Shwood are crafted from - you guessed it - wood, and make getting in touch with nature a stylish affair. I love when a simple activity like watching a film becomes an environmentally-aware adventure. How badly do I want this Junya Watanabe jacket/cardigan hybrid. Love this eerie portrait from Chad Wys' 'Nocturne' series. The untamed beauty of this Gisele Ganne's 'Bird of Prey' necklace makes me look forward to winter. Posted by Fashion156 team

E fissa quello che vede in camera, senza post produzione.L’incredibile di questi ritratti fotografici sta proprio nella non manipolazione delle immagini.

Shintaro Ohata just finished up a solo exhibition at the Yukari Art Contemprary in Tokyo, Japan. This Hiroshima, Japan-born artist is known for his ability to show us everyday life in a cinematic way. He captures light in his paintings, showering the world, as we know it, with carefully placed strokes of it. More than that, this artist has a unique style. Straight from the Yukari gallery, here's a sample of his stellar work. ' Photos courtesy of Yukari Art Contemporary.
