sleeping with rabbits...

Another beautiful and strange Victorian postcard.
Not another montage, but a studio photograph.



I couldn't resist purchasing this one. It's pinned 
to the inspiration board above my beautiful old deco 
worktable. How I do love these old dream-like images.

Oh Mickey!



"I think of a child's mind as a blank book. During 
the first years of his life, much will be written on the pages. 
The quality of that writing will affect his life profoundly."

Walt Disney once said.


Following last weeks post I was reminded of this picture. 
It was a random moment. We happened to stop by this wall 
and Ari happened to be dressed just like a...  mouseketeer.  

Mickey, at all times?  No. 
We're not big on branding. 

Just another  'cute'  op shop find in my mind. 


I do like... stuff.  And, I confess, I do like... Mickey Mouse. 




Actually I like a lot of what Disney has made to offer,
I like Pixar and I like the early studio animation work. 

 But what is it exactly that appeals to me and so many 
about the 'Disney World'  and about THAT mouse? 



The mouse that roared is available here from Amazon
and this book puts forth some interesting ideas too.

Steven Meisel shot for Vogue Italia?!











These images have been kicking around on my computer

Sorry, not so sure about the original link or issue details.
If anyone else knows, please fill me in.

The Dollhouse #2

This lovely image has been doing the internet rounds lately.


Funny, I've had this National Geographic photo kicking around 
in my various studios for years and years... it's like an old friend.

The building's beautiful, but I also really love the colours and the 
composition of this photograph, and how the symmetry of the 
building is echoed by the two boys standing in the upper balcony
but in contrast to the flow of the kids playing ball at the bottom.  

It's wonderful, but I have no idea who the photographer is...
