Liver & Lights No. 60
The A202.
Vauxhall to New Cross Via Camberwell Green.
As some of you might know...
I recently made this book with the current
crop of talented Illustration students
on the Foundation course at Camberwell College of Art...
...unfortunately held in self isolated aspic currently
as we await the passing of the plague.....
The book is an illuminated version of
One Shoe Mickey's famous poem celebrating our magical road:
"South London's answer to Route 66"
cut up into 71
fragments and made into 71 block printed text-explorations,
reassembled into the finished paperback.
NB: OSMs poem was written in response to the
wonderful Alan Brownjohn's earlier poem (AKA A202)
written about this road,
(Check it out...and his other work..He is a wonderful and inspiring,
if shamefully ill-recognised English post war poet and Humanist)
which paints it in rather more unflattering light than
Mickey's more celebratory offering...
So... because the College is closed 'until further notice' we couldn't launch it
and I have 200 copies currently gathering spiders under my bed:
Which are for sale from me for £10.00 each,
plus £2.00 postage
Buy a copy for your sister's boyfriend's birthday?
Because if you order two copies
Postage is FREE !!
