Vintage

When I was younger old things were used to be called "second hand" and didn't cost anything. Now these things are called "Vintage" and cost twice the price the item did cost originally - wow, that's what I call a good incentive for recycling! :-)

I like things that combine old and something personal, that creates a third different level of meaning.
Wilhelm Staehle does exactly that, playing with our commen memory of old prints and paintings adding silhouettes and witty phrases and voilà: awesomeness!

Feeling inspired? See Operina, which offers old illustration books for free download.
I am already thinking about how to use these two beautiful illustrations this weekend!



And a piece from Alice in Wonderland:



Have a good Friday and a better weekend, Belle
