Non-sequitur alert. Today’s Refreshers-esque photocopy piece is ‘You Probably Think You’re Buying A Chihuahua.’ Set in Sho-Card Caps before being gridded, griddled and diddled like a whiteboard that’s been used to plan one too many work events.

Today’s recombobulated photocopy piece is ‘Sun Rise Sun Set’ (a similar title to one of my book prints) because I decided to try out a circular division scheme for a change, and because miraculously The Earth is still spinning. It’s set in Rig Solid Halftone and then photocopied and rearranged like Titanics on a deckchair.

It’s always party time somewhere, it seems, and so it’s always time for… James Last. Today’s mucked-around-with photocopy text is ‘Non Stop Dancing 1973’ mixed with a spritz of ‘In The Mood For Trumpets’ (crackingly cheesy titles, those James Last discs), all set lovingly in - what else - Cooper Black. Ahhh, you can almost smell the polyester…

This delicious print isn’t a party food delivery order but a reimagining of great works of literature if their writers had been a bit peckish. Naturally it’s available on the Standard Designs website and would look fantastic in your official residence.

Listening to the excellent @tim_bowness and @stevenwilsonhq podcast ‘The Album Years’ about albums released in 1986 and wondering if ‘Frankly Mr Shankly’ from ‘The Queen Is Dead’ is a Hit or a Miss. So this is the word ‘Frankly’ set in a typeface someone decided to name Romantiques. Mmmm. Sliced up politely like Kraftwerk helping themselves to a complementary cheese board and reorganised the same way Jackson Pollock made lasagne.

Listening to Miles Davis today so this evening’s rearranged photocopy text artwork is “Milestones”. Set in the wonderful Grotesque Nr. 95B Bold Condensed Italic - so good they named it once - and then printed, copied and etc., because it’s fun.

A brief assessment of artist signatures at @tate Modern today. (1) Piet Mondrian. Very neat, Piet, well done. (2) Yves Tanguy. Could you have made it any smaller, Yves? It’s not my cataracts marking your work, you know. (3) Barnett Newman. That’s nice, Barnett, now can you finish painting the rest of the fence before break time please? (4) Cy Twombly. Well Cy, you’ve always been a bit scrawly haven’t you, so we’ll let this one pass.
