‘A Little Mole Before the Start’ (1965) by Zdeněk Miler(1921–2011)
Born on this day in 1921, Miler is best known for being the creator of Krtek the Mole. For more than 60 years, this animated character has entertained cartoon lovers all around the world, especially in Central Europe. The character made its debut at the Venice Film Festival in 1957, where it was awarded two Golden Lions. Since then many more animations have followed – as well as countless books, toys, puzzles and other merchandise. Miler began his career in animation studying under the celebrated Czech puppet-maker and animator Jiří Trnka (1912–1969). It was while working at the famous Barrandov Studios that Miler was commissioned by the Communist controlled Czechoslovakian government to produce a cartoon that taught children how trousers are made. Despite this initially uninspiring subject-matter, Miler hatched on the idea of a mole who could make trousers and the rest, as they say, ishistory.
Miler decided that his film’s would have broader appeal if his little mole didn’t speak, and so all further films did not feature any language. Instead, all interactions are made from unintelligible utterances that Miler recorded of his two young daughters, Kateřinaand Barbora.

Danish national hero Niels Ebbesen (1308–1340) rides away after the killing of Gerhard III (1292–1340) in a wall-chart illustration from 1898 by Rasmus Christiansen (1863–1940) Christiansen, who was born on this day in 1863, was a Danish painter and printmaker. He was born in the small town of Hørning in central Denmark and studied first at the technical school in Aarhus. He later moved to Copenhagen where he first studied at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and later at the Artists’ Study School (Kunstnernes Studieskole). It was there that he studied under the famous Skagen painters P. S. Krøyer (1851–1909) and Laurits Tuxen (1853–1927). A friend of painter Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916), the pair traveled to several European cities after completing their studies. In 1897, Christiansen assisted Tuxen in painting his celebrated picture of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee Garden Party. As an artist, Christiansen was adept at working in a variety of genres, painting everything from portraits and genre works to animal paintings and landscapes. In his later years, he started to work more as an illustrator — creating posters and contributing cartoons to booklets and weekly magazines such as Punch and Politiken. He passed away in Copenhagen in 1940 at the age of 77.Feb 2nd, 2020

Jack Bechdolt’s “Little Boy With A Big Horn“ (1950), illustrated by Aurelius Battaglia (1910–1984) Battaglia was born in Washington DC on this day in 1910. A student of the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, he began working for the Walt Disney Studio in 1937 where he contributed to films such as “Pinocchio“ (1940), “Fantasia“ (1940), and “Dumbo“ (1941). In 1934 he was commissioned by the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) to paint a number of murals at the the children’s section of the library in Washington’s Mount Pleasant. Featuring a playful collection of anthropomorphized animals, the work was a triumph, with some describing it as the Sistine chapel of children’s illustrations. Restored in 2019, it can still be seen on the walls ofthe library today.
His first illustrated book came with “Pat-a-cake” in 1947, and several more followed through the 1950s and 1960s. In the mid-1950s he returned to animation where he joined the prestegious United Productions of America studio. Here, he directed the short film “The Invisible Moustache of Raoul Dufy“. This was an animated short about French painter Raoul Duffy (1877–1953) that was commissioned by MOMA and won Battaglia a BAFTA for his direction. Battaglia spent his later years in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he continued to work until his death in May of 1984.Jan 16th, 2020

US Navy Girl tattoo design by Sailor Jerry (1911–1973) Jerry was a prominent American tattoo artist, who was born Norman Keith Collins on this day in 1911. He spent his teen years riding the rails and hitch-hiking through the country. It was at this time that he was first introduced to the art of tattooing. Initially, it was simply a curiosity, but when he arrived in Chicago in the 1920s he learnt the craft of electric tattooing through his mentor; veteran tattooer Gib “Tatts” Thomas. Many of Jerry’s first customers were Navy cadets from the Great Lakes Navel Training Academy and, after a few years, he himself enlisted. Through the ‘20s and '30s he visited many ports and eventually landed in Hawaii where he decided to settle. Widely recognized for his influence on the art of tattoos, Jerry created many iconic designs in his day and a lot of them continue to be reproduced around the world to this day. In addition to his designs, he is also responsible for many other innovations in tattooing including creating the purple pigment and introducing the sterilization of needles. In addition to tattooing, he continued his maritime interests and captained a three-masted schooner that toured the islands of Hawaii. He played in a jazz band and also hosted his own radio show where he talked politics and shared his poetry. He passed away in 1973 and left his shop and art to his protégés Mike Malone (1942–2007) and EdHardy (b.1945).

‘Courtesan’ (1790) by Utamaro (1753–1806) One of the most highly regarded ukiyo-e artists of all time, Utamaro is best known for his woodblock portraits of beautiful women. Portraits produced in the ukiyo-e genre are known as 'ōkubi-e’, and it was Utamaro who designed the first of these to feature women. First made in the early 1790s, these prints are called 'bijin-ga ōkubi-e’ (loosely: 'large headed beauties’). Little is known about his the artist’s life, but we do know that his work first stated to appear in the 1770s when he began to illustrate books and produce paintings. In the 1790s he gained great recognition for his bijin-ga ōkubi-e and he even became one of the first ukiyo-e artists to be known in Europe. Between 1797 and 1802 he adapted the Ehon Taikōki. This was a work that detailed the life of the 16th-century military ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537–1598). The work depicted the ruler with his wife and a number of courtesans and when the work was seen by members of the country’s military government (the Tokugawa Shogunate) they deemed it disrespectful and sentenced Utamaro to imprisonment. This was arguably the most famous case of censorship in the Edo period, and many believe that this strong reaction broke Utamaro’s spirit. Two years after the ordeal, the artist passed away. Recognized as a master in his own age, his work spawned many imitators and helped to bring about the Japonism movement in the West.Jan 13th, 2020

Poster for Pirelli (1959) by Lora Lamm Born in Switzerland on this day in 1928, Lamm moved to Milan at the age of 25 to work as a graphic designer. Post-war Milan was filled with optimism and regeneration with progressive companies eager to use good design to bring the country into the modern age. A student of Zürich’s prestigious Kunstgewerbeschule (today the Zürich University of the Arts), Lamm had a strong training in Swiss Design. In Italy, she was able to combine this formal training with the vibrancy of Italian life and she did so with excellent results. In Milan, she gained employment at Studio Boggeri. This was one of the most important studios in the history of graphic design, running for many decades and spring-boarding the careers of a number of influential Italian, Swiss and German designers. After working at the studio for a year, she worked at the graphic offices of La Rinascente where she illustrated numerous posters, catalogs, advertisements and product promotions. La Rinascente was (and is) a high-end Italian department store and, at the time, they were quickly became a symbol of post-war progress. There Lamm worked beside influential Swiss designer Max Huber (1919–1992), while the store held exhibitions by people like architect Gio Ponti (1891–1979); had interior fittings designed by Bruno Munari (1907–1998); and had Roberto Sambonet (1924–1995) designing windowdisplays.
In 1958 she became the director of the store’s graphic department. Her charming illustrative style appealed to many during this era and attracted a number of independent clients including the likes of Necchi, Olivetti and Pirelli. She also often incorporated elements of photography and collage in her work – such as the playful exampleseen here.
Influenced by the pop-art of America, she returned to Zürich in 1963 in the hopes of getting a US visa. When it was rejected she stayed in the city and joined the Swiss advertising office of Frank Thiessing. Sadly, as the 60s faded, so too did her popularity, and her work was mostly all-but-forgotten until a 2015 exhibition at Zürich’s Museum für Gestaltung brought about a renewed interest in her amazing work.Jan 11th, 2020
