Mutual Appreciation


So here's my other new print from this week: Oscar Wilde. But it's also a Morrissey piece too, and the connection is via The Smiths' song 'Cemetry Gates' from their album 'The Queen Is Dead' (2011 is somewhat gallingly the 25th anniversary of the album's release, fact fans!). "Keats and Yeats are on your side", Morrissey croons, "While Wilde is on mine". I thought it was a nice idea to imagine a co-endorsement from beyond the grave...

Come to think of it, it kind of reminds me of the Marshall McLuhan bit from 'Annie Hall':


The print is now available in the shop here.
