Sorry i haven't posted for a bit ...been rather drunk *hic*

This image by Edward Wadsworth is one of the most exciting things i have found recently.


It's a print of a 'Dazzle' ship, Dazzle being an innovative form of camouflage used in both world wars. This image just looks so modern yet is from the mid 30's. I really would love to be able to get a print of this.

Wadsworth also did some black & white only pieces like this one:
 These B/W works remind me of the art of Mike Giant one of my favourite contemporary artists.

If you want to read more about 'Dazzle' there is a great piece Here .As well as the history, the article has some amazing photos of some of the Dazzle ships that were in service in WWI
