My boyfriend recently bought me a book called “Milk Teeth” by Vancouver artist Julie Morstad.
I was immediately drawn to the simplicity of the white stock and the natural palette of the colors used on the cover. As I flipped through, I was transported into a warped like world like an Alice in Wonderland of sorts.
The book contains delicate line drawings and etchings of a girl getting lost in her fairytale like surroundings, mixed with a dreamlike state with a touch of distorted like images resembling nightmares.
You’d have to take a look for yourself and let me know what you think because I thought it was quite refreshing.
It’s published by Drawn & Quarterly and $12.95 CDN.
