The Smiths' 'Hatful Of Hollow' As A Set Of Books


Here’s my final new print of 2014 (I’m busy preparing lots of new things for 2015). One of my favourite albums ever - The Smiths’ ‘Hatful of Hollow’, depicted as if Morrissey and Johnny Marr had written it as a collection of books instead of songs. It’s available now in the Standard Designs Etsy Shop.



As much as the songs, I’ve always loved this album’s artwork - the photo of the band in the gatefold, and especially the front cover with its gorgeously flat blue, and the black & white typography. Very 1950s (maybe a bit early 1960s too).



So it was pretty clear this would work well translated into a set of Penguin and especially Pelican Books. And so here we are.



You can see more at the Standard Designs Etsy Shop.
