That Girl magazine has my Jean-Paul Sartre print in their Dorm Room Posters feature. Très bien.

Barnett Newman/Penguin Plays

When they’re this sparse (and this contrasty) Penguin Plays paperbacks really remind me of Barnett Newman.

William Haggard: The Telemann Touch

From 1966: A radioactive green Penguin Books logo on the front cover (the main photograph is taken, I believe, from p.102 of ‘How Not to Take Photographs At Night’). What irks me most though are the blurb colours on the back cover. Crazy! (in a very low-key way).

Depeche Mode/Electronic Beats

My Depeche Mode ‘Music for the Masses’ print is Electronic Beats’ Picture of the Day today (Monday 12 August 2013). Nice.

Bookriot.com has some very complimentary things to say about my prints. I am suitably chuffed.

Literary Condiments

This caught my eye in one of our many local supermarkets today. How I wish this was some kind of celebrity sauce cash-in by Anthony Burgess. If it was, imagine how complex the recipe would be (and full of references too, although half of them would be to Beethoven).

Mentionings

It’s always a treat to find other people have picked up my work, liked it and told the world about it. Last week BuzzFeed ran an article entitled ‘32 Dorm Room Posters That Won’t Make You Feel Like A Living Cliché’, and my Smiths ‘The Queen Is Dead’ print was in with a bullet at no. 31:

Today Domestic Sluttery have mentioned my Stone Roses print in their article ‘Spine Thrillers: Beautiful Things for Bookworms’:

Consider my cockles well and truly warmed.

More Stone Roses

The Stone Roses blog ‘Spiral Through Another Day’ has posted a nice mention of my new Roses print here.

Gold Goldsmith Gold

There’s something about ornate 1870s-1910s book covers that’s just too… ornate. Too much going on, as if they’re trying to go one better than the (usually mountain of) words within. But I saw this one in Waterstones on Gower Street this lunchtime and was quite impressed. It’s relatively restrained… relatively.
