I really enjoyed the Giacometti show at @tate Modern - the first room is wow. Quite a bold move to print the catalogue in, er, purple. #printing #catalogue #exhibition #artist #modernart #giacometti #modernist #sculpture #painting #forties #fifties #tate #tatemodern #london
Re-watching James Burke’s 1980 TV series about perception ‘The Real Thing’, replete with v. Hipgnosis/Dali imagery. Watched it when I was a kid and loved it. It’s still great in that idiosyncratic 70s-early 80s BBC way. #jamesburke #therealthing #tv #dali #salvadordali #imagery #hipgnosis #pinkfloyd #recordcover #albumart #bbc #documentary #perception #mind #1980 #science

Art Prog Schedule Alert! The ‘Made In Chelsea’ version of David Hockney’s early '70s is on TV tonight on the tiny London Live channel. It’s great/weird (the film, that is). #davidhockney #tv #film #abiggersplash #abiggersplashmovie #art #painting #film #1970s #70s
Well that’s how I plan to start my 1961, anyway. #eaglecomic #annual #1961 #sixties #comics #british #graphicdesign #typography #vintage #dandare #eagle #theeagle #new
Shiny Pollocks. Found this in the West Wing of the Standard Designs Memorial Library today: a Jackson Pollock catalogue from NYC in 1964. Check out the very Pop Art cover. #jacksonpollock #catalogue #exhibition #newyork #nyc #1964 #sixties #silver #abstract #painting #gallery #art #popart #andywarhol #marlborough #books #bookcover
Not quite sure who this chap is or was - let’s call him Mr Early 1930s - but I drew him today in a effort to convince myself not to buy a iPad Pro & Apple Pencil at a cost of £gazillions, and instead enjoy the occasional randomness of my £25 Adobe Ink stylus with my iPad Mini. So far, so good. #portrait #sketch #drawing #pencil #ipad #ipadpro #ipadmini #applepencil #adobesketch #blackandwhite #1930s
Happy birthday to Franz Kafka, who would have been 134 today. (See the link in my bio for this print) #franzkafka #kafka #birthday #writer #czech #author #anniversary #portrait #drawing #penandink #inkwash #print #printmaking #etsy #etsyseller #etsysellersofinstagram
