A TRIAL OF A LIAR (NOT ARIAL) It has been difficult getting to my studio over the past few weeks. So been working at home on a a publication based on a home made font (a corrupted/stencilled version of Helvetica - hence the title). There is clear textual and visual references to the lyrics of Swans and Crass, their iconic album covers as well as the work of David King. It is quite a meticulous piece of work so will take a few weeks/months to finish. #typography #punktypography #vernaculartypography #crass #swansband #swans #michaelgira #artistsbooks #punkzines #zine

A SHROUD OF ARIAL BLACK

A visual/typographic/long form poem set entirely in the font that I tell my students to avoid using, as it is only good for car boot sales and we-buy-any-car or lost cat flyers. It is also dedicated to my 5 metre paper tapestry “A Shroud of Arial Black”. Contains photos and illustrations. Printed and bound on an industrial estate in Tottenham. 136pp.
