Doodle Stamps
Sketchbook page of latest "Daily Doodles" on Facecrack. Collage and pen perforations. Images from old adverts in american Mechanics Illustrated magazine. I have a pile of these - very handy over the years for snippings for collages.

Collaborative 8 page 'zine - 1985
One page from a 'zine I made with Hazel Jones when we were courting back in 1985. Folded A4 sheet. Photo copy and rubber stamped. Dedicated to the late Michael Scott which was weird because he didn't pass away until 1988.

A Tap On The Head

Anyway, we gathered the tools and washers etc. and took the tap apart in a similar manner to the Will's cigarette card depiction here. They are old taps - probably…

It's Coming Home!
Yes, the big chunk of our mail art archive that was the "CURIOUS THINGS" exhibition in Manchester is eventually coming home soon. After many months in lockdown - mothballed in the Special Collections it is being packed up by the lovely people who work there and will soon be back in the coal hole - if we can find room for it! I suspect we'll have to go…
