Nearly 70 years ago, my grandfather carved his and my grandmothers initials on a tower in Portmeiron (the Welsh village The Prisoner is shot in). I designed a tattoo inspired by the surviving photos of the carving and tower:

Tattoo inspired by the Portmeirion Dovecote, a tower for raising doves much older than the rest of the town

Visited the new Chicago Brand Museum today. It's fascinating. (It's not a museum of just Chicago brands; it's a museum of lots of brand, which happens to be located in Chicago.) Fans of typography, graphic design, package design, and more will love it.

I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art: “Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”
