Vintage record covers

Just a few little vintage record cover illustrations I found.

Everyone enjoying the Olympics?

Am hoarse from shouting!

Hello!

Well it's been a while!

My operation has really taken it out of me.

Recovery has been tainted with infection, paramedics and A&E.

I have had to take things very slowly and haven't so much 

as sat in the sun :(

These amazing prints by inflated/deflated are available here inflateddeflated.etsy

and seem to sum up everything.  

Fabulous!

I'll be catching up on your lives in blogland.

Hope it's sunny where you are.

Downton Abbey cut-outs

These little gems can be printed out and you can have 

yourself your very own little Downton Abbey drama 

on your kitchen table.

Brilliant!

Tiny city of skyscrapers

I'm in awe of this wonderful creation. A tiny metropolis made entirely out of staples. Artist Peter Root carefully placed 100,000 pieces of the tiny metal staples into tall building-like blocks. Absolutely amazing!

mini trend - circus

Trawling the internet for some typography and images I discovered a mini trend for all things 'Circus'. I love the faded colours and serifed typefaces. Bring on the clowns.......
