Blistering Barnacles!

Traced from the book and arranged sequentially, the beards chart the tumultuous ups and downs of the drunken sailor all the way through the story.

£40 plus £8 postage UK & worldwide.

30 Years of British Vogue Covers

I have recently been invited by CFPR Editions to produce a limited edition print at the Centre for Fine Print Research in Bristol, UK. The current edition is a 30 year colour visualisation of British Vogue magazine covers.

As the worlds most influential fashion magazine, Vogue acts as an ideal barometer for colour trends. Making use of British Vogue's own online online cover archive I use free software to extract the five commonest colours from each cover and chart them, in Illustrator, by percentage. Arranging these charts into a timeline we begin to see trends emerge - seasonal variations and also in the longer term, a gradual fashion for lighter hues.

In my 30 years of British Vogue covers visualisation each column is a year beginning with September (the start of the fashion year) at the top and working backwards to October at the bottom. 1981 is on the right and the timeline runs through to 2011 on the left.

How to buy prints... *updated 4*

Due to the fantastic response from my recent post on boing boing, The Independent, designboom, Fast Company, Flowing Data, Magculture (and more, I appreciate all the interest and am very much looking forward to seeing printed articles) a limited edition of 50 A1 Imperial (56cm x 76cm) size, UV archival ink digital prints on somerset paper is now available. *note: I have found that A1 size, white 170gsm coated paper works better - the colours are crisper and more defined so I'll be using that from now on*
