Everyone wants the best for their offspring, so if you are lucky enough to have bred recently – treat your children to some of these publications by Montreal’s Gabrielle Lamontagne. Having cracked the technique of making incredibly cute graphic design without being in the least bit saccharine (Yes it’s cats, yes it’s nice bright colours) Gabrielle is experimenting with a range of print methods and mediums to create some absolutely beautiful pieces of work both for children and adults (phewf!). Part of the incredibly cool Charmant & Courtois collective, we hope to see some fantastic design collaborations very soon!
