All-brown cover, minimal typography, landscape format. THE most *1973* exhibition catalogue ever. And it’s mostly conceptual art and b&w photos inside (and 95% verbiage), plus it’s for a show at the utter concrete monstrosity the Hayward Gallery. I totally love it! #1973 #exhibition #exhibitioncatalogue #art #conceptualart #british #haywardgallery #brown #typography #bookdesign #bookstagram #1970s #seventies
If you find an apostrophe anywhere today it’s probably fallen off this sign. Maybe plant it, and we’ll get a fresh and abundant crop next year. #pedantry #punctuation #sign #nationaltrust #shop #gardening #autumn #nature #apostrophe
Nice work if you can get it. I applied for the position once. The pay was awful, but when you retire you get a gold watch - melted of course. #paulnash #tatebritain #surrealism #surrealistinchief #british #painting #london #exhibition
So, happy birthday then Dylan Thomas, born today in 1914. In celebration of this fact I will be eating “eighteen straight biscuits, I think that’s the record” (I think that’s the quote). #dylanthomas #birthday #poet #poetry #welsh #wales #portrait #drawing #blackandwhite #standarddesigns Btw as ever this print is available at the Standard Designs Etsy shop #etsy

Back to 1980 for my new album-as-books print: The Jam’s ‘Sound Affects’, as if Paul Weller et al had decided to become novelists instead of musicians. It’s available from the Standard Designs Etsy shop here.
More of this sort of thing soon. This time round it’s 1980. #newprint #newwork #newart #new #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #books #penguinbooks #shelfie #pelicanbooks #music #1980s #1980
