For Your Wall: 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' In Book Form

If you’re a book-lover, and you love Bob Dylan too - now there’s an art print just for you.

It shows Bob Dylan’s album ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ as it might have been if Dylan had decided to write novels full time instead of songs. And it’s available for you to buy now at the Standard Designs Etsy shop.

It was painstakingly created using vintage Penguin and Pelican books, selected and grouped together to echo the colours of the original album cover art. The books were photographed and then carefully changed so that they now show the titles of the songs on ‘Freewheelin’, all arranged in the original track order.

It’s a super-classy and unique way for you to show your appreciation of Bob Dylan’s music and your love of literature. It would look great on your wall. Take a look in the Standard Designs Etsy shop now.

New Sculpture at Tate Modern

A pretty big installation job happening at Tate Modern in London yesterday. Best not walk underneath it.

The Beatles vs. London vs. The Future

I love this photo of the Beatles’ final live performance, in 1969 on the roof of the Apple offices. I love it because of the London skyline at the top of the photo. Grey, grotty, dusty… quite the antithesis of the psychedelic Fab Four below (or perhaps a reflection of the state of the group at that point?) The 1970s are literally on the horizon, and things are about to get grim. OK - glam, then grim, but you take my point.

And in this day & age there can be no greater plaudit for a photograph than this: I have it as the lockscreen on my iPhone.
