They say never meet your heroes, but today I got to see Bagpuss - yes, THE ACTUAL BAGPUSS - in real life. The animation/imagination equivalent of meeting the Dalai Lama. He’s part of the Smallfilms exhibit at the @museumchildhood along with many other wonderful things. Do go and see it if you can. #Smallfilms #bagpuss #animation #bbc #museum #british #exhibition #museumofchildhood #clangers #pink (at V&A Museum of Childhood)

Can’t resist an old notebook. This me belonged to the artist Ian Breakwell, and you can go all swipey-swipey on it on a big touchscreen in a subterranean alcove in Tate Britain, you can flip through every page, all very nicely done. They have about 8 or 9 different ones to look through. Reassuring to see that the one belonging to personal hero Graham Sutherland contained sketches as any in one’s own. Even the biggest artists are mortal & fallible too - hooray! #tatebritain #notebook #ianbreakwell #grahamsutherland #art #gallery #museum #technology (at Tate Britain)

To @Tate Modern today to see the Alexander Calder show and this mud ‘n’ weeds 'n’ scaffolding exhibit by Abraham Cruzvillegas. The Calder is full of lovely stuff though if you go don’t expect any of the mobiles to, er, move (presumably for conservation reasons). #Calder #tatemodern #art #abrahamcruzvillegas #london (at Tate Modern)

Best EDM/IDM artist name & album title ever. Thanks, local fly-tipper! (I particularly like track 493, ‘QgtNnNgvg’ - 0.3 seconds of white noise which, if you slow it down and load it into a ZX81, brings up a blocky photo of Donald Trump flipping the bird at a squirrel. Awesome). #IDM #EDM #flytipping #cardboard #photo

Very nice little collage c/o Renault. Anyone interested in the future of art should check out their work (he said, repeating devil’s advocate positions from 50, 100 and 150 years ago). #Renault #collage #art #industrialisation #walterbenjamin #arttheory

To Tate Britain today to have another look at the Frank Auerbach exhibition before it closes. Always loved the drawing in the painting, but looking closely at the works in the flesh it’s the colour ranges that one notices - they’re… quietly unrestrained #tate #frankauerbach #painting #art

Just like a lot of the architecture of the time, this early 1970s book’s illustrations are so terrifyingly heavy, blocky and headache-inducing that they become morbidly fascinating. Needless to say, many of the projects in it would require months of accumulating esoteric junk before embarking on them. #1970s #seventies #book #illustration
