Design Writing, Photography

Mark Spurgeon dropped us a line to tell us about a new project - entitled Preserve - he has undertaken. He tells us, “I have been making a visual record of old hand painted building signage, over time these old hand crafted signs are being replaced with computer cut logos, worn away by the weather, demolished and so on, soon they will be all but a distant memory.”
Mark is looking for contributions to the site so if you have any shots in your own collection, get ‘em sent to Preserve. Save the signs!

Illustration

Mike Dolan lives in a tiny village in Devon with nothing but digital pencils for friends. He creates work that is reminiscent of the great commercial illustrators of the 1950’s. His portfolio is a really pleasant browse, and I recommend spending a few minutes to enjoy his work.
Thanks to Matt for bringing Mike to my attention.
