Let us now praise not-famous pulp 1972 book covers, with their super-simple graphics, clunking use of Univers and whatever the hell that font in green is. Wow. #refreshing #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #design #graphicdesign #type #typography #fonts #univers #illustration

A rare sighting of the Lesser-Spotted Floating Three in the park today. It hides in the bushes and only comes out for multiplication. #badoomtish #birdspotting #ornithology#park #london #londonparks #balloon #balloonnumbers #maths

It’s so, SO tempting to go colour halftone misregistration-crazy when making my new How They Did Pop Art prints. I guess I should rein this one in a little… #print #printing #artprint #popart #60sart #halftone #astutegraphics #astute #adobeillustrator #misregistration

“Mums! Dads! Kids! Do you have Massive Scissors? Well, you should, ‘cos they’re the only things that can clean away • DASHED LINES • DOTTED LINES • SOLID LINES. Buy Massive Scissors today and watch those line problems go away!” (NOTE: Do not give scissors to kids and/or pets). #diagram #scissors #footwear #printing #lines #design #graphicdesign #icon #icondesign #infographic

Since I started really looking into British Pop Art and its influences in the past few years I’ve had a complete about-face on Tuscans. I now love their pointy weirdness. Two spiffing examples here on this specimen from Harrild & Sons. #typography #popart #britishpopart #decorative #decoration #decorativetype #woodtype #tuscan #tuscanfont #typographical #dropshadow #vernacular #harrildandsons #typespecimen

Quick note of a poster that appeared in a dream last night. If I now make this as a poster, stick it on the same wall as it appeared in my dream and then dream about it, what will happen? Will I go back in time? #sketch #drawing #pencilcrayon #mounteverest #chomolungma #poster #dream #art #artist #artistsofinstagram #standarddesigns

Time machine investment really paying off. Just finished this poster for a local landlord back in 1977 (again). You can get one too on the Standard Designs website. #poster #gigposter #concertposter #livemusic #livemusicvenue #art #typography #design #graphicdesign #scandistyle #punk #punkrock #localband #gig #timemachine

Early stages of the corner of a new Pop Art print. Being 60 years late to the party is still ‘fashionably late’, right? #popart #lettering #stencil #print #printing #halftone #retrosupplyco #adobeillustrator #printmaking #art #artist #artistsoninstagram
