Great minds think alike, or fools rarely differ. Take your pick, but nevertheless odd when it happens. On the 21st July this year I commissioned Paul Ryding to create some pencil illustrations of After the News work for our as yet unfinished website. (Sneak preview above). The email read: “i’m putting together a new website and rather than grapple with the ‘how do i show my work in a way that doesn’t look like shit, and show up my shit photography skills, and which doesn’t involve holding up a big poster with my fingers and photographing it against an arty brick wall?’ connundrum, hit upon the idea of illustrating it. so was wondering if you fancied doing this for me?..
Today, to my horror when leafing through Grafik magazine, I come across this exhibition of hand rendered ICA flyers by David Osbaldeston.
Just thought I’d say.
