Looks like that is his signature so possibly an original screenprint by the artist.

Looks like "Underground Highbury and Islington" by Gerd Winner from 1972. It's on the Tate site. Not sure about the signature then though...

Today has been one of those days where I haven’t sold anything in my online shop.

Naught but a leap to the left
And thanne a clockwyse tread;
Put thyne handes on thyne hippes,
And be thy knees yn-gatherΓ©d:
Lo, it ys the pelvique thruste
That maketh mirthe down to rayne -
Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!

How Much I Dislike the Daily MailΒ

eat Quavers that are six weeks stale,Β 
blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale,Β 
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,Β 
than read one page of the Daily Mail.Β

If I was boredΒ 
in a waiting room in Perivale,Β 
on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail,Β 
halfway through a circumnavigational sail,Β 
I would not read the Daily Mail.Β

I would happily readΒ

'Collecting accordions became my dad's obsession' A County Down family auctions off one of the biggest private collections of accordions in the world.

"750 of them are going under the hammer".

Seems a bit of an overreaction.

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged Β£9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but Β£17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

The real 500 Miles: how a smash hit was spun from lies, deceit and desperation 

Craig and Charlie Reid found fame and fortune with the story of their 1,000 mile walk. We can reveal that the truth behind it is very different.
