About me

Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor (Heathrow 1970)

 Richard Burton carrying his Olivetti Valentine typewriter

Ad Break: Olivetti Valentine by Milton Glaser

Olivetti's 'Valentine' typewriter

One of THE design classics of the twentieth century. 

The typewriter was designed by Olivetti's Perry King and Ettore Sottsass (who later went on to form The Memphis Group)

Although not a commercial success at the time it has now a part of the design collection of such museums as New York's The Met and MOMA and Melbourne Museum

The typewriter was also featured in Alex's bedroom in the film of A Clockwork Orange

How Ettore Sottsass made the typewriter sexy

Be My (Blue) Valentine

How I got there...

Background is Be My Valentine Repeater 

(written horizontally and vertically producing abstract pattern)

A blue ink wash was a BIG mistake

Start over

Glass breaking due to miniscule difference in size of frame. 

Not once but twice

But...finally we arrived there

Valentime Competition

What becomes of the broken hearted 

Who had love that's now departed? 

A random meeting? 

Wonderful until... 

A Tinder hook up that went from awkward to awful very quickly 

A present that was seriously 'what the ****' ?

Make us laugh 

Make us cry 

Make us want to hear more

In Melbourne?

I've organised a competition to win one of my scribbles at Neighbourhood Books in Westgarth. 

In 25 words or less (because if it is good enough for Iggy Pop then it it it good enough for you too) tell us about the worst Valentine's day you ever had.

Send to hello@neighbourhoodbooks.com with the subject line "VALENTIME'

The entrants will be judged by Leni and Liam from the shop and the winner will receive my piece of art entitled 'Be My (Blue) Valentine'

Competition closes February 15th (just in case THIS year is the one you will remember forever more...)
