Here’s an ampersand for World Ampersand Day, painted by Brian Walker (RIP), the subject of a short film I made last year with Irene Chirita.

I’ve now made the film, ‘When Better Letters Met Brian Walker’, and lots of Brian’s work free for all to enjoy via the @[email protected] site here:

Sounds like a challenging and competitive competition for the Stone Skimming World Championships in Easdale, over the weekend. One day I must try to go along to this brilliant event, but I can't imagine I'll ever be good enough to reliably compete!

I did visit the beautiful, hallowed island venue last spring and, since it's World Ampersand Day tomorrow, I think I'll post this again.

For World Ampersand Day, there's a little ampersand story towards the bottom of this 2017 Ghostsigns post:

September 8 is World Ampersand Day!

Now, I admit I only learned about the existence of this ever-so-important celebration last week, but you'd better believe we observe it in this house!

So here's an ampersand from yesterday, this time made at Skateraw Harbour in East Lothian.

The collection continues to grow:
