Alice and Martin Provensen

 We've been recently obsessed with amazing husband and wife illustration team, Alice and Martin Provensen (found on Black•Eiffel and Book by it's Cover): 3013180847_d832207dcb_b.jpg

Love the vintage style (they worked for the Walter Lantz Studio - of Woody Woodpecker fame, illustrated several Little Golden Books, and did work for Disney, back in the day, when they were creating genius films like Alice in Wonderland (worked on by the equally brilliant Mary Blair, but that's another post!)

No!

So cute and hilarious...

Dreamy Magical Surrealism + Tim Walker

bunnyears.jpg We spotted Tim Walker's Soldier, Soldier, Won't You Marry Me? spread in British Vogue a while ago and ran across him again on Decor8. We have long loved anything to do with Alice in Wonderland-style dreamy magical surrealism and are in awe of the beautiful dream-like quality of Tim Walker's photographs. So inspiring!

Love the almost chalky quality of the light and color...

Always fans of a little wink and a nod, we love the wit and quirky humor...
