It’s layout and proofing time for the next issue, BLAG 09.
I’m now happy that I numbered them 01, 02, 03, etc, as issue 10 is already in the works, and the system will keep me going well into my 90s at the current rate of two per year.
If you’re not subscribed, then my profile has a special follower offer, or the Printer plan is a cheaper option for just the print magazine: https://bl.ag/join. New members get issue 08 (https://bl.ag/08) sent straight away.
For all back issues, visit https://bl.ag/backissues.

A rabbit hole today led me once again to Richard Gregory's useful website, which has been down the last few times I've tried.
Check out these two series of posts at the heart of it:
The English Signwriting Tradition: https://www.signpainting.co.uk/craft/
Letters Potent: https://www.signpainting.co.uk/lettering/
I've taken the liberty of downloading every page to my computer as the Wayback Machine copy doesn't look to be working as it should.

[Edit: Sold. Check out all the other back issues and books at https://bl.ag/shop.]
I'm down to my last 'BLAG Back Issues Bundle' which contains issues, 03, 05, 06, and 07, the Letterheads special. for £80 with shipping to anywhere in the world included:
https://shop.bl.ag/products/blag-back-issues-bundle
Issue 05 (https://bl.ag/05) is the one that's down to a single issue, so once this is gone, it's gone and I'll probably do another bundle with the other three which can all be bought individually.

Finally got to hang this fabulously flamboyant fairground piece by @jill_strong.
The guide to its creation is the limited edition poster insert in BLAG 08 (https://bl.ag/08), with a work-in-progress shot on the cover.
Thanks again Jill — I love it!
PS. The dripping white paint is a legacy from the previous owners who seem to have been completely unaware of the existence of masking tape.

Well, this is tantalising...
"In 2018, two art school students, Alessandro Latela and Gianluca Ciancaglini, published the first formal study of Mr. De Stefano and the numeraio tradition ... A third designer, Emilio La Mura, created a standardized, computer-made font named Pasquale in homage to the numeraio — a gesture that was 'misunderstood', Mr. Latela said. Mr. De Stefano's family contested the book and the font, fearing that they would be mistaken for his own work, and the projects were pulled from distribution."
