If you’ve not seen the video for David Bowie’s new song ‘Blackstar’ yet, here it is. I like how Bowie’s gift for appropriation has now extended to The Frug, turning it into The Frug For Really, Really Depressed People. But then, I know nothing about choreography.

Proofs are back from the printers… These new prints are a bit niche. Well, a lot niche really. But I know clever people like you will get them. #print #silkscreen #notactuallysilkscreen #typography #Paris #may #1968 #homedecor

The neighbours have gone crazy for fireworks this year so the sky round our way currently looks just like this back cover of a 1958 Penguin Poets volume on William Blake. #fireworks #williamblake #penguin #penguinbooks #poetry #poet #blake

“Captain, have you noticed the hastily blocked-in yellow area on the horizon?” “Actually, Ginger, I did it myself - I’m thinking of applying for art college. What do you think?” “Er… yeah?” #ladybirdbooks #ladybird #books #illustration #artcollege #artschool
