POSTCARD FROM PARIS

I was really sad to hear yesterday about the loss of stone carver and graphic designer John Andrew (1933-2021). A brilliant artist and technician who gave much of Ian Hamilton Finlay’s Little Sparta its singular look and feel, and worked on many of Finlay's most iconic carvings

‘Designers must move away from this positive, optimistic attitude that denies the place of any negativity, an attitude that denies realism.’ So needed to read this! Am so sick of cultures of insidious compliance. Danah Abdulla from @DecolDesign : https://t.co/eLdgoYIes5

Sharing an article I've had published in WARC this month. It'll take about as long as reading a cereal box. In fact, that's what it's about.

Lettering on buildings should aim for some sort of material and proportional sympathy but othertimes it should just kick you square up the balls (eyeballs).

Nice to have this back up and running again. Thanks @LondiniumCamera for the great lens refurb

[Peter Lorimer @pighilltweets]

This is sparked by a conversation yesterday, but do you ever stop to reflect on the weird energy 1970s British ceramics and pottery had? I mean some REALLY weird stuff was going on.
