TIMBA SMITS

Another Australian gem...Can’t believe I haven’t come across Timba Smits until now. Currently working in London, he combines the retro look with a modern twist to perfection. Humour runs throughout his work, and I especially love the way his clever illustrations read so playfully…check out the pregnancy ad below!

One of his growing projects is WOODEN TOY…an, as he calls; ‘booazine’ (half book, half magazine). They look like absolutely beautiful publications and I want to start collecting now! I’ve always been a fan of all things rustic, worn and old….so the edge of this particular issue makes me way more excited than any normal person, looking at the spine of a book should be!
