I am forever grateful to map-tastic studio pals Herb Lester  for introducing me to Peter Kneebone, whose books I am now completely obsessed with.

I have just received one of Mr Kneebone’s gems, called Sexes and Sevens. Published in 1953, this book traces the progress from single life to married life. His portraits of the typical bachelors are poignant and hilarious in equal terms.
I love everything about it: its tone, the fact that, almost 60 years later, the stereotypes are the same (reassuringly or not!) and of course what I love most is Mr Kneebone’s exquisite illustration style. Gems, I tell thee.

Yes, we know, you are wondering when on earth this ‘Anorak for grown-ups’ magazine is going to be ready. Sometimes we do too.

Let’s not despair, it’s slowly getting there. We are barely three weeks away from getting it printed. Exciting, isn’t it? This is our cover. Rob could tell you how it is vaguely inspired by a Herb Lubalin cover complete with boobs, which stemmed from a flippant remark I made, which ended by: “... without resorting to putting boobs on the cover.”
So yes, these are boobs. Witty boobs. Hope you like it.
