I’m sharing something very personal and beautiful here, so please don’t laugh.

This is my genuine home-made 1980s Alec Scudder mini-poster. And, yes, way back then he used to be on my bedroom wall.

Back in 1987, when I first saw Maurice at the cinema, we didn’t have DVDs, MP4s, scanners, Photoshop, art software or digital anything. But I did have work access to a black-and-white enlarger photocopier and a stock of sticky-backed plastic in Pantone colours, resulting in the style you see here.
