Mysterious Artwork

 Hullo! We have a bit of a mystery on our paws. You see... Mama need an 8.5x11" picture frame (yep, not metric on that yet)... and she found this one in a thrift store.


It is a super duper picture frame!! It's an A4 though (UK size) but... it'll work... The mystery though... is that it came with a picture.

See!!! It's a blue police box painted onto a page taken from a book (in this case, a French dictionary).

We all think this looks beary similar to some of Beanie Mouse's creations...

See... we have Greeting Card 2,466... and it's a linoprint on a vintage book page...

And this looks like it might be a linoprint... or is it a painting. And what's with the blue police box anyhow? And the red thing...

Hmmm... this is a linoprint... maybe that blue police box is a painting? 

Oh... and it's NOT a blue police box. Well... it is... but it's really the Tardis from Doctor Who. Having never seen Doctor Who (oh shush with the gasps...) we aren't quite sure what it is. A time travel device? An interdimensional portal? Is that why there is a red alien creeping out the side of the box?? And what is the significance of the French dictionary? Thoughts??? Should we keep the picture???

  2. Nope. Its complicated. Speed on highways is metric... grocery store items like meat and produce are mboth...with lbs often primary and kg prices in small print. Volumes of things like cans and milk are metric though. Lumber is in feet and inches.. and if you want photos printed... the are in inches. So is paper... confusing?!

  3. Did you know you can do a reverse image search on google? Or search for Tardis prints on ebay or etsy, might result in a few ideas.....
