Never tire of seeing this in St Anne’s Sq, central Manchester. 1901. #lettering #streetsign #letterdesign #typography #shopsigns #vernacular #signspotting
OMG My copy of ‘Raucous Invention’ just arrived! Stopped everything to delight in its pages. Better than I dared hoped. Particularly loved the Scrapbook pages. Fear I won’t get it back when I lend it out! Beautifully designed by another hero of mine, Nicola Bailey. Thanks to all for the obvious effort in making it.
Join me in a conversation with Mary Griffiths and Michael Schmidt for the opening of Rust:The Art Gallery. My book ‘Where Ferrous Metal Meets Air and Water’ will also be launched. Link for tickets in bio.
Today my Sir Walter Scott £2 coin is released. (Shame it won’t be a circulating coin as it seems there’s a glut of coins in a pandemic society that prefers plastic.) /our-coins/ranges/annual-sets/2021-annual-coin-sets/the-250th-anniversary-of-the-birth-of-sir-walter-scott/ #SirWalterScott #coins #abbotsford #edinburgh #mcrcityoflitconnects @MMUSpecial
