Who wants to see the tories new poster

The car is owned by a Canadian company, the ship is Swiss, the plane is 50 years old, the football team have never won anything, the king has cancer, and the prime minister was never elected hell he was his party’s second choice after Liz truss,

also we haven’t been the second most powerful country in almost a century but even if we were the pride in the mediocrity of coming second to the USA a country teetering on the brink of Fascism, actively supporting a genocide, and which will likely not exist in its current form by the end of my life

Bush Hollyhead (1949-2020), ''The English Difference'' by Paul Jennings, 1974 I think Hollyhead is probably most famous for the quick cover-up he did for the Hipgnosis cover for Led Zeppelin’s album 'Houses of the Holy' in 1973. The logotype that Hollyhead dashed off to cover up part of Hipgnosis' artwork became synonymous with Led Zeppelin. (I'm not a big Led Zeppelin fan so I didn't know until making this post that the cover of 'Houses of the Holy' was inspired by Arthur C. Clarke’s novel 'Childhood’s End', an idea from the mind of the designer Aubrey Powell and that the kids in that album cover are climbing Giant’s Causeway in Ireland. Or that it's just two kids, siblings, who "were photographed over the course of ten days at dawn and at dusk." Also, another related tidbit, one of Hollyhead's colleagues, George Hardie, who was part of the same artistic studio, did Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' with Hollyhead adding an airbrush glow to the design.

It's been 60 years since The Animals performed their first concert in the United States, their song "The House of the Rising Sun" beginning to top the American charts at the exact same time!! 🐾❤️✨️

Thought it would be fun to remake their Paramount Theatre poster, featuring a redraw of one of my favorite photos of the band! (inspiration under the cut) ✨️

Redraw!! 🐾✨️

The Airport Visitor : the annual guide to civil aviation : ed : S/Ldr. N. J. Freeman and G. D. H. Linton : Penman Enterprises : London : [1953] by mikeyashworth Via Flickr: An interesting booklet aimed at the civil aviation enthusiast in days when a trip to an official viewing area at one of Britain's civil airports was quite the day out. Several here are noted as having "broadcast commentaries and recorded music" to help set the scene. The booklet lists all Britain's civil Customs airports, those operated by the Ministry of Civil Aviation or by operators on their 'behalf' and many of which still had Ministry of Defence links, along with non-Customs licensed aerodromes. As well as this there are descriptions of the various airlines, the 'planes they operate and an aircraft log book along with information as to ground activities such as control and approach radar. The cover is by artist Lawrence Fish (1919 - 2009) a noted commercial and advertising illustrator and puts Silver City Airways firmly in the picture. Silver City, formed in 1948, were noted for their "air car ferry" services operated primarily from Lympne to France and from Southampton to Cherbourg. The fleet of Bristol 170 Mk.21 Freighters and Mk.32 'Superfreighter' seen loading here carred three cars and twenty passengers. The freighters also carried, as can be seen, bicycles. The helicopter seen above is how Silver City saw the future; the company put considerable effort into considering the adoption of a freight helicopter and detachable "pannier" system for moving freight at a time when Fairey Aviation were developing the Rotodyne and Blackburn Aircraft were developing the SP60. The project never came to fruition.
