We’re having some building work done to the Standard Designs Mansion, and on a quick gyrocopter survey of the site today it struck me how much of the area resembles ‘80s art music album covers, especially of the Vaughan Oliver/4AD/23 Envelope variety. So I dismissed the builders for the day (Sutherland and Caro Ltd - very dependable, and the portaloo hardly ever needs a saniclean) and knocked this up on the iPad in a minute or two. Take that, mechanical ‘80s processes! #vaughanoliver #23envelope #80smusic #artmusic #cocteautwins #albumcover #albumcoverdesign #photography #design #artphotography #landscape #graphicdesign #art #typography #mechanical #grahamsutherland #anthonycaro #building #mansion #standarddesigns

In the mid- to late-‘90s this would have been a passable dance album title. Imagine the kinds of block-rocking beats that might have appeared on Make Your Own Sundial. With track featuring appearances by Mike D, Jarvis Cocker and Noddy Holder, plus a ‘hidden’ ‘bonus’ track where Cilla Black raps about pollution. #makeyourownsundial #dancemusic #techno #album #albumtitle #sundial #science #experiment #textbook #illustration #typography #futura #noddyholder #miked #jarviscocker #cillablack #pollution #rap #90smusic #90sbands #1990s
