Due to my background in graphic design, I particularly enjoy an excellent poster. Add in a big girly crush on music in general and in particular, a band called the Arctic Monkeys and I'm staging a one-woman 90's rave. The Scotland-Foster collection is currently in almost obscene health following the festive period, and His vinyl selection is also bubbling under. Now all we need is a lottery grant to frame them and somewhere beautiful to hang them, like a big house in Primrose Hill or something. The BF could pop to the pub with Noel Gallagher and I could spend whole afternoons shooting dark looks at Gwyneth Paltrow's superior downward dog in our yoga class... until that sunny day, they'll hang out at the back of the wardrobe in cardboard tubes.
Now that I have this blog though, I can virtually display them for all our potential celebrity neighbours to marvel at!
That last one was a total steal. I was in Greenwich in November last year when, early for a beer and a burger and eager to finish off my Christmas shopping, I walked into The Flood Gallery in Greenwich Market. I had seen this poster on the internet and scoured ebay for one, to no joy. I had then seen it in The Flood Gallery earlier in the year, came back the next day and they'd sold their only copy (the poster is in a Limited Edition run of 500). Tonight though, I walked in and browsed the A section on the off chance and there it was! So my heart gave a flutter and the exact amount of money I had in my wallet did too and the poster and I have lived happily ever since.
They are all so beautiful, now I just need a few screen printed Kylie tour posters to compliment them!
