Bob Gill & Print Club

Not long now until the Bob Gill & Print Club exhibition. Designer, illustrator, teacher and one of the founding partners of Pentagram (then called Fletcher/Forbes/Gill) Bob Gill has had a remarkable career honoured by both the London and New York Art Directors' Associations with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The exhibition will showcase 6 new silk screen prints in editions of 15. Each one has been lovingly hand coloured by Bob with watercolour in the Print Club studio making them all unique.

It opens with a preview on Friday 28th and runs until 11 April at the Print Club Gallery, 10-28 Millers Avenue, Dalston E8 2DS.

Gilbert Garcin






Gilbert Garcin is one of my favourite photographers. At the age of 65, when most people are thinking of retirement, Garcin gave up his lamp manufacturing business in Marseille and became a photographer.

Garcin's images are self portraits featuring himself, usually in a grey overcoat to represent the everyman and sometimes his wife. They're beautifully graphic, surreal and a little crazy - I love them!

You can find out more about Gilbert Garcin and view his full portfolio of work here.

Vintage Poster Resource

I stumbled across Free Vintage Posters today and what a great resource it is. Packed full of, well you guessed it - vintage posters! 








They're not 'free' to use, only to download as they don't own the copyrights to the posters or the images but none-the-less I think it's worth a bookmark. Enjoy...

World Book Day

Today is World Book Day so I thought I'd share with you my all time favourite book, Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals.

First published in 1956, it follows the life of a young Durrell when he & his family moved to Corfu (1934 - 39) - something he describes as, "like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas".

Packed with anecdotes of his eccentric family, his pets, the wildlife on the island and the characters he encounters along the way, it starts with a wonderful quote:

"There is a pleasure sure
In being mad, which none but madmen know."
DRYDEN, The Spanish Friar, II, i

Eyebombing


Eyebombing, Humanizing the world, one googly eye at a time - what could be more fun?! 

Googly eyes on inanimate objects always amuses me, it reminds me of wet camping holidays as a child. My sisters and I used to glue googly eyes onto shells to make little creatures - the hours used to fly by! 

The idea of Eyebombing was created by 2 danes. It's "the act of setting googly eyes on inanimate things in the public space. Ultimately the goal is to humanize the streets, and bring sunshine to people passing by".

The Rules
1. Only images of inanimate objects with wiggle eyes - NOT stickers.
2. Only images taken in the public space.
So order your starter pack and away you go...

Auto Type XXVIX



Auto Type XXVIX - we had a wonderful morning at yesterday's Goodwood Breakfast Club. It was the first of the year and the Pre-73 theme meant a vast turn out of quality motors from hotrods to historic racers - here are some of our favourite auto types.

You can see more of our Breakfast Club pics over on Super Ninety and view our full collection of Auto Type here and here.
