Listening to the excellent @tim_bowness and @stevenwilsonhq podcast ‘The Album Years’ about albums released in 1986 and wondering if ‘Frankly Mr Shankly’ from ‘The Queen Is Dead’ is a Hit or a Miss. So this is the word ‘Frankly’ set in a typeface someone decided to name Romantiques. Mmmm. Sliced up politely like Kraftwerk helping themselves to a complementary cheese board and reorganised the same way Jackson Pollock made lasagne.

Fascinating looking through old encyclopaedias.

Tonight’s rearranged photocopy text shenanigans is ‘Mozart Bloody Mozart’, set in Calgary Script and then diddled around with on the irregular of the hypotenuse. That’s your actual maths, that is.

Listening to Miles Davis today so this evening’s rearranged photocopy text artwork is “Milestones”. Set in the wonderful Grotesque Nr. 95B Bold Condensed Italic - so good they named it once - and then printed, copied and etc., because it’s fun.

A brief assessment of artist signatures at @tate Modern today....

A brief assessment of artist signatures at @tate Modern today. (1) Piet Mondrian. Very neat, Piet, well done. (2) Yves Tanguy. Could you have made it any smaller, Yves? It’s not my cataracts marking your work, you know. (3) Barnett Newman. That’s nice, Barnett, now can you finish painting the rest of the fence before break time please? (4) Cy Twombly. Well Cy, you’ve always been a bit scrawly haven’t you, so we’ll let this one pass.
