Tonight = looking very closely at the 6 different versions of my new Radiohead print and going “Hmm” a lot. But I think I’ve also had an “Aha!” moment, so I’ve gone from a Maigret to a Scooby-Doo ending - which is as much as one can ever hope for with art. #Radiohead #printmaking #printing #art #penguinbooks #shelfie #poster #print
I always love the way in Ladybird books that recognisable brands are painted in a slightly agnostic way. As if the illustrator was unaware of the commercial nature of some of the things they were painting. #art #ladybird #books #bookstagram #illustration
Showtime for Jif. Wait - so Jif used to be a shaving foam before it was a bathroom cleaner (and before it became Cif)? I’m experiencing… brand-superconfusion.
Busy turning the sensible into the slightly-less-than-sensible.
When one good idea turns into “Actually, why don’t I make about twenty of those”.
Your New Playground Coming Soon. I’m particularly looking forward to ‘New Rotating Item’. #map #faded #weathered #photo
I like Flora’s new packaging. There’s something un peu Français about it (to me, at least). #flora #packaging #food
Released 35 years ago today, Kraftwerk’s superb ‘Computer World’. Check out standarddesigns.etsy.com for this print. #kraftwerk #computerworld #electronicmusic #print #homedecor #wallart #bookart #books #bookstagram
Reminder: Staff meeting, 10AM. #Lego #starwars #bureaucracy
Can’t beat a good bit of misregistered colour halftoning for unexpected prettiness. This is on the spine of a 1965 edition of Joseph Conrad’s ‘Lord Jim’ - a film tie-in, with darling Peter O'Toole on the cover. #penguinbooks #printing #colour #color #patterning #conrad #peterotoole #film #cinema #books
Literature, by Lego. #legoland #books #lego (Incidentally my iPhone tries to autocorrect ‘Legoland’ as 'leg plans’, which is strange as I haven’t even *made* any leg plans).
Busy tonight turning these books into Neil Young’s ‘After The Gold Rush’. And not by the obvious papier-maché-on-a-lathe method either. #print #penguin books #art #studio #neilyoung #afterthegoldrush
This was the other day, proofing my Rolling Stones Cancelled print - with a little help from R2-D2 and Jan Tschichold. #rollingstones #print #r2d2 #jantschichold #typography #design standarddesigns.etsy.com
