These reimagined Mr Men artworks are soothing my soul

I’m a sucker for a slice of nostalgia, and the Helm Gallery’s latest exhibition is the wholesome childhood revival that I never knew I needed. Behold, Mr. Men & Little Miss Reimagined – a Brighton-based exhibition exploring the iconic children’s book series as you’ve never seen it before. 

With a host of unique pieces from artists and designers, these inspired artworks offer a contemporary twist on Roger Hargreaves’ iconic character designs. If you’re feeling inspired, take a look at our guide to the best drawing tablets and best sketchbooks to get those ideas down, even when you’re out and about. 

Described as the “ultimate love-letter to a series whose enduring popularity has spanned generations, and introduced millions of children across the world to literature and art,” the pieces each take a unique spin on the original illustrations. Playing with texture, colour and artistic genre, the artworks each have their own delightful dose of personality, combining childhood nostalgia with contemporary style.
