Part of a really, er, nice poster (quite small too) in the British Museum. Something to do with the black market apparently. Just lovely fluid lines. #poster #easterneurope #vintage #design #typography #lettering #handlettering #drawing #printmaking #ephemera #money #britishmuseum #london (at British Museum)
The new issue of Norman Life magazine (we’re up to 1058 AD) looks to be a doozy. #history #books #graphicdesign #illustration #france #england #medieval #middleages #norman #magazine
There’s a very impressive likeness of Bill Oddie in the @britishmuseum . Sadly the Ancient Greek Tim Brooke-Taylor isn’t quite as accurate, and the Etruscan Graeme Garden looks more like Noddy Holder, but you know, that’s civilisation for you. #britishmuseum #antiquities #thegoodies #goodies #tv #bbc #seventies #70s #comedy #sculpture #billoddie #london #museum #lookalike #birdwatching #portrait (at British Museum)

Much though I love Albertus (below), the Transport font (above) says The Barbican to me much more, especially when layered with London grime #typography #london #barbican #signage #signs #jockkinneir #margaretcalvert #albertus #wolpe #city #concrete #photography #1970s #1980s (at Barbican Centre)
Pay attention, these are your art orders. In wondrous Helvetica. #barbican #80stypography #typography #signage #sign #helvetica (at Barbican Centre)
The Basquiat show at the Barbican right now: the upstairs is good, the early stuff is great, but it kind of loses focus downstairs with the later stuff. Still there are plenty of gems down there (‘Young Picasso … Old Picasso’ is pretty chucklesome). The catalogue is a real late ‘70s throwback though, all gruesome typography and smeary ink on china-clay-shiny paper. Maybe that’s deliberate. Anyway, ignore the bookshop, go and see the show, it’s FUN. #basquiat #jeanmichelbasquiat #exhibition #art #london #newyork #nyc #barbican #barbicancentre #show #painting #artist #80sart #newwave (at Barbican Centre)

I’ve Jean-Michel-Basquiat-ized our salt and pepper mills.
