Milk Teeth is a collection of illustrations by Vancouver artist Julie Morstad. Morstad spins fairy tales infused with dreamlike innocence and a touch of the macabre. Milk Teeth's universe, populated by animals, flowers, peculiar objects and disembodied heads, has a sensibility reminiscent of Marcel Dzama's surreal drawings, Jeffrey Eugenides' haunting novel The Virgin Suicides, and Peter Weir's classic film Picnic at Hanging Rock. See a preview at the D+Q site here.
Morstad is a 2004 graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design. She has done illustrations for The Globe & Mail, Warner Brothers Records, Bust, and The Walrus. Her work has been shown in galleries, featured on the cover of Neko Case's 2006 album Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, and developed into a line of patterned wallpapers with a distinctive nostalgic quality. Morstad lives and works in Vancouver and divides her time between drawing, illustration, animation and design.
