P&O Matchbook
When my grandmother moved house, I found some great pieces of graphic ephemera tucked away. By far my favourite is this matchbook, printed in high-vis orange and blue on the outside (I’m a sucker for complimentary colours). Inside a tangy combination of deep indigo and a cool magenta for the sulphur tips.
Having the destinations the company serviced individually printed on to the matchsticks – wow.
Boozy Design
A couple of years ago I went to Prague for a few days. On the way up to the castle I stumbled across a cool little shop that was packed full of old posters, postcards, magazines, matchboxes and suchlike. These labels from alcohol bottles caught my eye.
Martial Art Postcards
In amongst the previously mentioned postcards was a great set of martial art poses. Here are some of the best ones.
Cosmic Postcards
We bought a load of old postcards recently. They vary from tediously bland to outright weird. Some of the landscape scenes have great colours in them. I find them quite curious, its a bit like peering in to another world. A world of heightened colours and bleak but strangely beautiful vistas.
