RIP Martin Parr. Here are two of my favourite photos of all time. I get such a Proustian rush looking at them that I can hear the β€œfzzt” of a can of Quatro being opened.

He had been diagnosed with cancer in May 2021. Known for his acute observations of the English class system, Parr’s images covered sunbathers and Conservative clubs, village fetes and coffee mornings, often in vivid colour and with more than a dash of humour. His iconic 1986 photobook The Last Resort: Photographs of New Brighton captured working-class holidaymakers in the Wirral, Liverpool and helped mark a sea change in British documentary photography, from the gritty, black and white style of the past towards a cheekier and more colourful style.

Thank you! It’s quite an area. So close to the museums too. I love that contrast.

Carry on Screaming is on TV at the moment. Back in 2017 I was asked to design a small logo for Fenella Fielding’s autobiography. She invited us to her 90th birthday party but we were away on holiday at the time. Sadly she never made it to 91. What a joy it would have been to meet her.

It’s completely fabricated. I had an exhibition last year called Neighbourhood and I did 4 large paintings of imaginary shops - a florist, noodle shop, a record shop and a cafe. Not many people notice the Talking Heads reference!

I can’t tell whether Hope & Keen are even stage names or not!

Of course he did! Amazing. They look like they’ve rubbed shoulders with Graham Lister.

All the names make it sound like it’s set in a local council office.

That’s what I’m hoping. Love Lewis’s aviator frames. Like an avian Frank Butcher.

I saw this in the Walker on my 13th birthday. Still got the exhibition poster framed in our hallway.
