Another new acquisition, in B-format, from 1965. Sumptuously illustrated in faded black and white. Great cover - I love those Stubbs paintings on monotone backgrounds. #pelicanbooks #penguinbooks #bookstagram #bookcover #painting #art #british #georgestubbs #horses #stubbs #bookshopping #secondhand #50p

The back cover of The Weirdstone Of Brisingamen, bought today for 50p: pleasantly Peter Doig-ish. #puffinbooks #penguinbooks #pelicanbooks #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #backcover #painting #blue #peterdoig #art #artist #childrensbooks #vintage #1960s #design

More drawing/painting this afternoon when rain forced us indoors to the Standard Designs Summer House (just a brisk half-mile walk from the Mansion, though usually I like to take the helicopter) #iamnotnoeledmonds #painting #drawing #watercolour #pencil #watercolor #aquarelle #pencil #sketch #umbrella #parasol #rain #summer #blackandwhite #artist #artistsoninstagram #etsy #etsyseller #weather #relax
I did a drawing of musique concrète pioneer Pierre Henry, who recently popped off to the big studio in the sky. #pierrehenry #music #musique #musiqueconcrete #french #electronicmusic #drawing #sketch #pencil #adobephotoshopsketch #studio #recording #1940s #1950s
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
Busy turning this stack of assorted wonderment into yer actual art today. #printmaking #print #art #typography #graphicdesign #books #bookshelf #shelfie #bookstagram #reading #penguinbooks #pelicanbooks #poetry #poetrycommunity #etsy #etsyseller #photography
