If you’d like to give one of my album-as-books prints (like this Prince ‘Purple Rain’ one) as a Christmas gift there’s only a few days left. Order by Sunday for Western Europe and by Wednesday for the UK. (These are last-possible, best-case-scenario dates, so order soon and keep your fingers crossed that the Royal Mail have their Yuletide magic in full effect). #standarddesigns #christmas #christmasgift #giftideas #gifts #gifting #giftguide #giftsforher #giftsforhim #music #poster #print #artprint #prince #purplerain #books #bookstagram #royalmail #yuletidemagic

Peter Blake’s ‘Self Portrait With Badges’ (1961) is a masterclass in when to leave a painting unfinished for maximum effect. And this is just a detail.

A close-up if the John Bratby painting that’s on display at Tate Britain at the moment (Still Life With Chip Frier, 1954).

Really looking forward to the new film by Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck (who directed The Lives Of Others), apparently a 3 hr movie kinda based on the life of the great Gerhard Richter.
