Waiting for proofs of my 6th print in a set of 5 (go figure) then getting this new album-as-books print sorted after that.

Part of a drawing that started off as one thing and ended up totally different. So, to paraphrase Paul Klee, I took a line for a walk for a walk. #drawing #sketch #art #artistsoninstagram #watercolour #penandink #gouache #paulklee

The catalogue for the Eduardo Paolozzi show at the Whitechapel right now is a handsome tome, but the decision to display his print portfolios against a black background and eye-wateringly small (these are very detailed prints) is a real head-scratcher. #whitechapelartgallery #exhibition #art #paolozzi #british #print #painting #collage #sculpture #london #bookdesign #typography #illustration #photography #1940s #1950s #1960s
