Trying to find an anthology of Alvin Lustig, in book form. Considering all his graphic design work, his typefaces, and to me, his textiles, its pretty amazing there seems to be no collection of his work, in book form anyway. There's a good website in his name though, www.alvinlustig.com. Better than Lucienne Day.........

Massif





Trying to find funding, and locations for some new textile prints in situ- on the hillsides, in the eco-hotel, and in the disused barns of the North. The glacial features of mountains, rock climbing clubs, "Clouds" by R+E Bouroullec, Grizedale Arts, Shirley Craven, and old-fashioned climbing gear all serve as influences. Textile designs hopefully done in the next month......
