With such a  busy year here in England, with various celebrations, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics this summer, I thought it would be great to celebrate too! So, with that in mind I bring to you ‘the best of British!’ Over the next few months I will be posting work from Designers, Artists and Photographers. So, watch this space, it could be you! (that’s if you live in Britain of course!)

So, got your mouth watering yet?  You can go to my blog to see more. There is more to come in the next few weeks!

James (Jim) Flora is best-known for his wild jazz and classical album covers for Columbia Records (late 1940s) and RCA Victor (1950s). He authored and illustrated 17 popular children’s books and flourished for decades as a magazine illustrator. Few realize, however, that Flora (1914-1998) was also a prolific fine artist with a devilish sense of humor and a flair for juxtaposing playfulness, absurdity and violence.  

Jim Flora once said that all he wanted to do was “create a little piece of excitement.” He overshot his goal with much of his work.

13 Wives is a series of posters designed for an opening party for a cocktail bar by Foreign Policy Design, a design company based in Singapore.  I think they would make fab book covers!

These are fun. Blogger and designer Spacesick  has turned cult films into paper backs with clever iconic graphics.

Two first time novelists and titles from four independent publishers make up this year’s Man Booker Prize shortlist and, encouragingly, in a sign that printed book design continues to up its game, the covers are in rude
health too…
