Waiting for proofs of my 6th print in a set of 5 (go figure) then getting this new album-as-books print sorted after that. The Blofeld-style hydro-electric power plant at the Standard Designs Mansion has been on over-paddle recently. #workinghard #hardlyworking #standarddesigns #penguinbooks #pelicanbooks #bookspines #bookcover #design #print #printing #printmaking #art #artistsoninstagram #literature #shelfie

Seen at the London Transport Museum today: I love an ad with a brushed expanse of flat colour as its background. It’s so *then*. #londontransportmuseum #london #underground #poster #ad #advertising #history #transport #graphicdesign #colour #brush #retro #paintings (at London Transport Museum)

The catalogue for the Eduardo Paolozzi show at the Whitechapel right now is a handsome tome, but the decision to display his print portfolios against a black background and eye-wateringly small (these are very detailed prints) is a real head-scratcher. #whitechapelartgallery #exhibition #art #paolozzi #british #print #painting #collage #sculpture #london #bookdesign #typography #illustration #photography #1940s #1950s #1960s
