I’ve always loved Willie Rushton’s cartoons. Every line is full of chuckles - mid-1960s chuckles, which are some of the best. #cartoon #drawing #privateeye #rushton #60s #satire #comedy #art #caricature #politics #british #establishment

Now then, when it comes to author portraits Mr JP Dunleavy here has got it going on. The beard, the big fur coat, the thick, thick hair, the pensive pout - this man positively reeks of Mid-20th Century Writer.

This is a work in progress. I’ve worked in many TV studios over the years, and I’ve always wondered what it would have been like to do so in the sixties. Probably the same, except with fewer takeout sandwiches and more David Frost.

Look what the Google Translate app does to the cover of John Wyndham’s ‘The Midwich Cuckoos’ (it’s set to translate into German because I’ve been trying to learn the language for about a thousand years). Strange. It’s the future… kind of. Maybe all typography will be dodgy in the future.
