Inspiration is Everything: September 2007

http://inspirationiseverything.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Fuel for the imagination. Tuesday, 25 September 2007. Czech and Polish posters. The four smaller ones are a mixture of Czech and Polish film posters, and finally the large one is from another poster shop, this time in Krakow. It's for a '70s literary festival, and the quality of the screened overprint is best appreciated close up. I also bought some fantastic stuff from a market in Krakow, of which more when I get around to scanning it. Posted by Paul Pensom. Friday, 21 September 2007. All built around t...

Inspiration is Everything: Intriguing calligraphy

Fuel for the imagination. Wednesday, 15 September 2010. Beautiful flowing script found in an antique shop in Bromyard, which reminds me of the work of the great Marian Bantjes. Posted by Paul Pensom.

Inspiration is Everything: May 2009

http://inspirationiseverything.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Fuel for the imagination. Friday, 1 May 2009. They're not design classics but I love pulp fiction sleeves. They transport me back to the days when you used to get big wire baskets of these exotic items outside Woolworths, yellow-edged and notched, like some initiation mark commemorating their long journey to these shores. Posted by Paul Pensom. Germano Facetti Penguin cover. In a West country charity shop last week. Great integration of the front and back covers. Posted by Paul Pensom. Things to look at.

Inspiration is Everything: February 2008

http://inspirationiseverything.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Fuel for the imagination. Monday, 25 February 2008. This is a collection of artwork from assorted 1970s matchboxes. I got them from a flea market in Krakow along with some amazing Russian cigarette cards which I'll be posting shortly. The playfulness, the confidence, the cheeky appropriation (spot the nod to A Clockwork Orange) all make you remember why you wanted to become a designer in the first place. These little sleeves exude the sheer joy of mark making. Posted by Paul Pensom. Posted by Paul Pensom.

Inspiration is Everything: March 2011

http://inspirationiseverything.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Fuel for the imagination. Thursday, 3 March 2011. Beautiful gold-leaf lettering on a green background in Fitzrovia. Rather spoiled by the tacky plastic sign stuck beneath it. Posted by Paul Pensom. The Ascent of Man. Three screenshots from Dr Jacob Bronowski's 1974 BBC documentary 'The Ascent Of Man'. The sculpture is used to illustrate the different methods of perception, but I was struck by the hints of Symbolism and proto-Surrealism in the composition. Posted by Paul Pensom. Wednesday, 2 March 2011.

Inspiration is Everything: March 2008

http://inspirationiseverything.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Fuel for the imagination. Sunday, 30 March 2008. Guinness Book of Records 1972. As I get older I find myself increasingly drawn to the re-investigation of fondly remembered books and objects. Often the actuality falls far short of the memory, but I was delighted to find the 1972 Guinness Book of Records in a car boot sale last summer, for it is every bit as beguiling as I remember it. You do it with exquisite Illustration, sensitive layout skills and wonderful draughtsmanship. A book which is to my mind ...

Reverend Glass and the Sunshine Band (. Reverend Glass and the Sunshine Band. The smashing p's - tales of a scorched earth. A Song to Keep Us Warm Through the Winter of Our Hearts. The Wise and Immortal Patty's profile says thusly:. America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.".

... puro tiatro: March 2005

http://ennele.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 29, 2005. 2731997 13.12.1998. Potsdamer Platz, Berlin. En su último gran trabajo, Wesely repite su exitoso sistema de captura, en la reconstrucción del nuevo MoMa del ponja Taniguchi, la sombra que me mira rayado en la obscuridad, registrando en su máquina de tiempo, todo el proceso de reconstrucción del nuevo contenedor de las luces contemporáneas. Ahora esta en exposición en el nuevo MoMa.Un delicioso feedback que desgraciadamente no podré ver. Una lástima. Tarare re reo. m83. Una era po...
