These Golden Books Are Not For Children

designfetishcooleyinappropriategoldenbooksmovieillustrations5 These Golden Books Are Not For Childrendesignfetishcooleyinappropriategoldenbooksmovieillustrations1 These Golden Books Are Not For Children

We’ve all read a Golden Book when we were kids. They’re a line of illustrated children’s books.

These Golden Books here though, are not exactly suitable for children.
Josh Cooley, an artist at Pixar, has been whipping these up in his spare time for the past two years. Most are pretty self-explanatory. If I have to tell you the movie though, you won’t get the joke.

These are famous scenes from movies like The Godfather, The Graduate, Seven, Silence of the Lambs, The Terminator etc. All illustrated using the same style of the actual Golden Books.

Check out the rest of the illustrations here.

UK designer Duncan Shotton aims to relive the tradition of milk delivery with his Full-Fat Milk Doorstop.

This simple design is made from a glass bottle filled with solid white resin that looks like milk. The top is sealed with a re-enforced foil and the base is held in place with a transparent anti-slip disc. The whole piece weighs a hefty 1.2kg that keeps doors in their place.
