INCLUDE ME OUT


There can never be enough collages for my liking, so, following the Joe Orton piece at the weekend, here’s another collage related post.

This Richard Hamiltonesque work was scissored and Pritt-sticked back in the 80s by the shadowy figure known as El Hombre Invisible, “reflecting my obsession with American imperialism, amongst other things, such as existentialism, which we all thought about between marching against The Bomb and listening to Jazz, you know...oh, it was the 50s all over again...”.

For more examples, and to peek into a hipster's musings on jazz, literature, film, plus random brain spills, click on Include Me Out.

JACK KEROUAC AND THE PLAYBOY BUNNY (1959)


My comrade over at Include Me Out featured his January 1965 issue of Playboy the other week. In a game of blogging Top Trumps I present my June 1959 edition. A Playmate and the Playboy Bunny riding Lambrettas on the beautifully designed front cover; a four page Vespa photo feature inside; plus a four page article by Jack Kerouac entitled The Origins of the Beat Generation. “Woe unto those who spit on the Beat Generation,” he warns, “the wind’ll blow it back.” Miss June enjoys hunting and water-skiing.
