Roger Hargreaves’ Mr. Men and Little Miss series was a childhood staple for many book nerds. The colorful characters are the stars of a new exhibition at iam8bit gallery in Los Angeles. Featuring over 50 artists, Everybody’s a Somebody brings the tiny storybooks to life with floor-to-ceiling installations, including a 14-foot apartment complex. The gallery will be donating a portion of all sales to charity. Non-profit 826LA supports young students and their writing pursuits. The show runs until September 8, but we have a preview of some of the work featured in the exhibit. See Little Miss and Mr. Men playfully modernized, below.
