Has it been signed?


I tend to collect printed ephemera which never gets used but rots in a box somewhere. This collage is a rare instance of combining some of this stuff. I've always been influenced by Saul Steinberg who loved the art of petty officialdom. He also bore a striking resemblance to my Dad.
A dummy hardback book given to me by a publisher. 20cm x 27cm.

Ellis this piece is lovely! Hope you get around to using more of you rotting ephemera....I have an awful lot of that, too. I use a lot - but can never keep up with what i collect, it just keeps piling up.

Thanks for the link! I am adding a link here at this very moment....your blog is great.
