  1. Today @royreed.bsky.social and I got our advance author copies of 'London's Ghost Signs', the reissue of our 2021 book, 'Ghost Signs: A London Story'.

    Our new publisher, Metro, has done a great job of reproducing all the original content (with updates) in the new compact format, and the book goes on general sale in October/November.

    There's more about the book at ghostsigns.co.uk/book and it'll be on sale in the BLAG shop (bl.ag/shop) when the time comes.

  6. The two 'Commit No Nuisance' #ghostsigns on the corner of Great Guildford Street and Doyce Street, Southwark just south of the River Thames in London. They are a euphemism for "don't urinate against this wall".

  11. #Ghostsigns of an enormous auto and truck garage from #AlbanyNY – shots I took back in 2010 but current StreetView shows it's pretty much the same today. #sign #signs #signage #ghostsign #UpstateNewYork #upstateNY

  12. I‘m convinced that my cat defended me from a demon or ghost or some other inter dimensional being tonight. When I got to bed shortly after 1 am I turned off the lights and he jumped onto my bed and after a while I felt his body shifting or he let himself fall over and suddenly hissed at something in the dark and was immediately quiet after and lied down beside me. Thanks Rune.

  13. The Horn & Hardart chain of ‘automat’ diners ceased to exist 35 years ago, yet this remnant of their advertising past clings on in Manhattan.

  14. @RickGaehl I was shocked to realise that my first (pre-graffiti) photo of this is almost 20 years old now!

    It's a rare example of a locally listed ghost sign in London:

  20. Can anyone confirm that this ghost sign is for the French Vabé brand, owned by Byrrh?

    caves-byrrh-boutique.fr/produi

    I can't make out all of the slogan in yellow, but the 'Catalan' line would fit with Rivesaltes, where Vabé originates from, which is just north of Perpignan, and therefore in French Catalonia.

    Here's the location on streetview, where the motion of the camera has created a new brand: Wabé
