Not Quite Random Aesthetics of the Day: The Mighty Paul Bradshaw + My Perennial Hero Swifty Dazzling Again

Most of you know that I would most likely never have become a graphic designer if it weren't for the work of Swifty. Since the days of Straight No Chaser + his years art directing for Talkin' Loud his staggering brilliance has constantly inspired me + filled me with awe. In the past few years I've been honored to be in touch with his equally dazzling literary compatriot Paul Bradshaw on Facebook. Here they are again with another exhibition that shows their matchless range + sense of musical history. For more go to Paul's blog. x, B.
