Two great finds at the local secondhand bookshop this weekend. The Hopkins on the left is from 1966 and has a detail of a painting by the wondrous Ivon Hitchens on the cover. The one on the right is from 1966, with a cover by Stephen Russ. The Hopkins has a good collection of his letters, diaries and notebook entries too. £1 each. Bargain! #penguinbooks #penguin #poetry #poet #gerardmanleyhopkins #english #verse #bookcover #design #typography #colourful #bookdesign #secondhand #bookshop #books #paperback

Yes, you’re right - I *will* be thrilled at ‘dust-proof bookcases’. Whatever next, a levitating hatstand? Surely such things are impossible! #carpentry #science #books #bookshelf #bookcase #retro #ad #advertisement #print #1940s #1950s #literature #reading #furniture #dust

Lovely bright crisp morning standing on the steps of Tate Britain. The police had maybe stopped off to look at the Paul Nash exhibition, which is restrained-palette-tastic. #tate #tatebritain #london #museum #exhibition #paulnash #painting #sunny #day #gallery #tategallery (at Tate Britain)

Geology. It completed its Graphic Design MA a while back. Then as part of the Work Experience scheme in the 1980s it helped out at 23 Envelope for 6 months, contributing to a couple of Cocteau Twins sleeves and something lovely for David Sylvian. #geology #23envelope #1980s #indie #albumcover #graphicdesign #artschool #cocteautwins #davidsylvian #japan #photography #rocks

I always liked those few Francis Bacon landscapes where he paints grass like he’s Zorro. This, on Streedagh beach in Co. Sligo recently , reminded me of them. #ireland #sligo #grange #beach #francisbacon #painter #painting #landscape #streedagh #zorro (at Streedagh Beach)
