Just found out the Dulwich Picture Gallery is going to hold a retrospective of Saul Steinberg starting November 26. Steinberg worked as an Illustrator for the New Yorker for 6 decades producing intellectually engaging yet raw satirical cartoons, editorial illustration and other pictures. A huge inspiration to many and widely ripped off. Just finished reading/looking at ’Steinberg at the New Yorker’ by Joel Smith, also recommended.

Here’s the first Typography post, there’s a few bits of type in the Work section of benishere, there are more experiments to come from the inside pockets of my computer wallet. i like this one, quite a labourious creation.

Here’s a couple of Book Covers by Alan Aldridge who has a major retrospective at the Design Museum til January, if you are anywhere near London you should check it out. He’s famous for his work for the Beatles, in which his use of airbrush and gouache is masterly. My favourite of his work is the stuff he did for Penguin as Art Director in the 60’s. He only stayed there for 2 years which is a shame
