Today’s new piece - with its palette inspired by the bonanza of earth colours seen in the Postwar Modern show at @barbicancentre gallery - started off as a ‘Souvenir Picture Edition’ badge from the masthead of the 11 March 1961 edition of the Reading Evening News, before my process walked it into a pea-souper of toner fog. (Thanks to @oliverwoodsphoto for the newspaper)

Walking round The Barbican yesterday, such a fantastic place - always something new to discover/some other way to get lost.

Super-cute halftone-tastic character work in these illustrations for a guide to the Caves of Han in Belgium (although the chap with the peaked cap looks like he might have slightly authoritarian tendencies). I’m guessing it’s mid- to late-60s? Kindly donated by the wonderful @oliverwoodsphoto

‘We’. So good they cut it out of the sign twice (although they did the second one backwards, which is showing off a bit). #linguistics #language #we #ew #signage #metalsigns #london #park #parksoflondon #countrypark #stencil #typography #design #spring (at London, United Kingdom)

Another secondhand bookshop find: ‘The Spirit of London’, first published 1935, this edn. 1950. Full of fascinating period sights (and a few trim-looking chaps).

Today’s score at the local secondhand bookshop was this fine and authoritative tome, first published in 1958 and on its *10th* edition in 1974. I used to tell students there were no right or wrong answers in art - well, as this book *clearly* demonstrates, that was a load of old hogwash (though I’d suggest - if you look at the final image - that the greater ‘Beginners mistake’ was missing out the bleedin’ apostrophe 🤪). #art #painting #oilpainting #artschool #teaching #teachingart #howtopaint #howtodraw #pedant #grammar #grammarpolice #punctuation #pedagogy #secondhand #secondhandbookshop #bookshopping #bookstagram #bookcovers #1970s (at London, United Kingdom)

Tonight’s photocopier-based foolery features the word PHILOSOPHY set in the extraordinary font Chevauchantes and the phrase IT’S WHERE THE BIG BUCKS ARE set in Fantasie Haut. Because I’ve been on the superyacht Jean-Paul Sartre (registered in Panama) and it’s mahoosive. #philosophy #superstardom #rich #bigbucks #philosopher #fortune #superrich #jeanpaulsartre #art #print #printmaking #design #typography #adobe #adobeillustrator #photoshop #adobephotoshop #typeface #vintage #vintagetype
