Framed one of my Rolling Stones Cancelled Gig playbill prints for @handfacevideo ’s birthday present. Gift decisions become so much easier/lazier when (a) you’re an artist and (b) you live within rioting distance of an IKEA. #rollingstones #stones #print #poster #playbill #1960s #sixties #retro #homedecor #shopping #birthday #frame #picture #photo #ikea #art #artist

Here’s a page from another book I bought yesterday. A full £1 for this one, but worth every penny for its freakiness. ‘Benny Bear, The Farmer’. Some slightly dodgy rhymes and photos of a life-sized bear milking cows somewhere in Europe in the 1960s (I’m guessing). Slightly reminds me of Kanye West’s Dropout Bear, but… totally weird. #photo #bear #kanyewest #childrensbook #strange #weird #books #literature #1960s #europe #countryside

Bought this today for 10p at our local secondhand book shop today. A French customs manual (I think) from 1973. I like to think that its lovely faded pink colour is due to it being stuck in the window of some tiny shack at the harbour in Marseille during many long Mediterranean summers in the 1970s. Ah, the hidden exoticism of the terribly, terribly boring. #France #books #documents #law #custom #douanes #pink #mediterranean #1970s #bookshop #bargain

Foretelling the future this morning by reading tea leaves (actually tea dust from the bottom of the caddy) it appears we’re going to be living in another galaxy quite soon. Now, where did I leave that spacesuit? #future #tea #trouble #photo #galaxy

On Planet MDF first they invented shelving, but then they needed something to put on it, so they next invented literature. Good call, MDF-ians! #books #shelfie #literature #design
