Thank You Jonopen. Your bird in a book cover is great! I have fun to see this.

Servus Ernie

LOL - very good - thanks all :-)

As you all no doubt realised the design was 'borrowed' from an early style Penguin paperback from the days before they used imagery on their covers.

I expect only hd will get the alternative idea (below). It relates to a piece of 1960's graffiti from the docks at Hull, a northern UK coastal city.

If I remember well, You are the guy who switched to Apple?
Are You done the illustration with Affinity Designer? Looks so for me.

I personally only use AD when working in AP for magazines and/or books, flyers, logos, etc.

saved form oblivion and on dispaly in humber street so I understand

nice correlation jono

@Ernie, Nice graphics.

Yes it was done in Affinity Designer on a Mac. I switched over a few years ago, but my heart still belongs to Xara. I think it's a first love sort of thing! There are still quite a few techniques I only know how to do using P&GD.

@handrawn - nice find. I've just read the story behind its creation - a trawler captain nurtured an injured seagull back to health, only for it to be killed by the coxswain just before being released from the box it was kept in. When a crew member was asked, "what's inside the box?", he quickly said "a dead bod". I've seen it at the Humber Street gallery but didn't know the background story.

aye @ernie - sharp and to the point as usual

@jono - it is said he was drunk when he painted it - true or not there was an real kerfuffle when the sheds were due for demolition - it had become a fixture seen from boat on the estuary

not exactly a banksy, perhaps ahead of it's time
