BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: THE ART OF SMALLFILMS - THE WORK OF OLIVER POSTGATE & PETER FIRMIN (2015) • Working from a cowshed on a farm in Kent, Oliver Postgate (1925–2008) and Peter Firmin (born 1928) produced some of the best-loved British children's animated television of the 1960s and 1970s. Their iconic productions include Bagpuss (originally aired in 1974), The Clangers (1969–74), Ivor The Engine (1975–77), Pogles' Wood (1966–68) and Noggin The Nog (1959–65). Postgate and Firmin worked together from 1959 through the 1980s, creating popular, beloved characters that appealed to children and their parents alike, like the whistling, mousy Clangers (knitted by Firmin's wife Joan in bright pink wool) in outer space, the saggy, baggy cloth cat Bagpuss and the mild-mannered Viking boy Prince Noggin. Firmin painted the backdrops and created the models, and Postgate wrote scripts, did the stop-motion filming and frequently recorded the kindly, avuncular narration. This book, which includes a preface by Postgate's son Daniel, presents the Smallfilms archive: the puppets and cutouts from these shows (including some of the characters who didn't quite make the cut), along with insights into how they were created. The emphatically handmade models and painstakingly drawn illustrations that came to life in the Smallfilms productions are captured here in attentive, detailed photographs. The archive is presented like "a collection of artifacts in an exhibition detailing some much-admired twentieth-century art movement, like Fluxus or Dada," as acclaimed English stand-up comedian Stewart Lee notes in his introduction. The Art of Smallfilms, full of pipe cleaners, cotton balls, wire and ping-pong balls, celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of two artists who shaped a generation's childhood. • Available via our website and in the bookshop. • #worldfoodbooks #smallfilms #oliverpostgate #peterfirmin #bagpuss #theclangers #pogleswood #ivortheengine #nogginthenog #fourcornersbooks #jonnytrunk #richardembray (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

Bookseller favorite 'A–Z of Record Shop Bags, 1940s to 1990s' from @jonnytrunk @fuelpublishing is out NOW and reviewed by Emily Gosling @creativereview ⁠ ⁠ "A new book from Jonny Trunk titled 'AZ Record Shop Bags' brings together gorgeous images of British record store bags from the 1940s to the 1990s, hailing from London, Manchester and other big cities, as well as Northampton, Scarborough, Chesterfield, Tunbridge Wells, Leicester, Loughborough and more. Taking in more than 500 examples, the book offers an insight into a strand of graphic design that’s previously been almost totally overlooked.⁠ ⁠ These square spaces proved the perfect site for graphics that ranged from practical typography to striking letterforms, cute mascots and illustrations that made the most of the fact that these spaces could be printed with one or two colors — three at most.…⁠ ⁠ Superb is a running theme throughout the book: since these bags served as adverts as well as carriers, the store names had to stand out, and often act as both branding element and decoration. Poring over the lettering today, it’s striking that the type is largely unfamiliar — before the days of system fonts and vast digital foundries, the designs feel far more wide-ranging, and frequently exhibit charming, slightly off-kilter little touches that modern typesetting irons out with uniformity."⁠ ⁠ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #jonnytrunk #a-zrecordshopbags @nalascarlett #recordshopbag #recordshopbags #shoppingbags #paperbags #plasticbags #vintagebags #rsd2022 #oldrecordshop #recordshops https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc5btf7shPu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

VINTAGE CANDY WRAPPERS from ‘Wrappers Delight,’ Jonny Trunk's edit (down to 500) out of thousands of British candy wrapper designs from the 1960s to the 80s, all hailing from the collection of Stockport, UK, hoarder / archivist John Townsend, who died in 2016, leaving a 5-bedroom house "full of boxes, with boxes on top of boxes, and more on top of those," according to Trunk. "And there were bags everywhere. And all the shelves were full. And there were some rooms you couldn't get into. And the attic was full. And the summerhouse outside was full. And the caravan outside was full too. And on every inch of everywhere there was something… Behind a series of boxes and running into a tall, thin chest of drawers was a set of blue folders. These were all labelled with Dymo tape and were arranged in alphabetical order. Filed by brand was a collection of sweet-related wrappers. But not the usual Mars, Marathon or Milky Way packets—no, these were far more obscure. And far more exciting. There were companies I'd never heard of, chews I'd not seen for four decades — Dad's Army sweet cigarettes, Punk gum, Lolly Gobble Choc Bomb… This had to become a book." #wrappersdelight #vintagecandywrapper #ukcandies @jonnytrunk #jonnytrunk #jarviscocker #fuelpublishing #fueldesign #graphic #graphicdesign #packaging #vintage #vintagepackaging #gumwrappers #popstars #tattoo #kungfuey #pop #starwars #sweetdreams #dentist @jarvisbransoncocker @fuelpublishing https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Te9R2pr8D/?igshid=hglx4b6fyxo3

“Basil Kirchin is a unique and fascinating soul. I confess I had never heard of him until I received this free sampler from Trunk Records because I’d ordered several other CDs from Jonny Trunk’s emporium of the weird and wonderful world of sound. This sampler was produced by Trunk as part of Hull’s City of Culture year in 2017, which organised a weekend celebration of the life and work of Kirchin, the city’s long-lost son. Lost, only in that his talents are not more widely known and celebrated. The track listing on the sampler is almost identical to Trunk’s follow up release Basil Kirchin Is My Friend. . Kirchin started his musical life in the 1950s playing drums in his father’s jazz band, but it was his own experimental compositions in the 1960s for which he is rightly lauded and unjustly not famous enough. He started producing electronic music for imaginary films, a soundtrack for the world inside his head perhaps. And from there started to record a whole range of what is known as library music for films, TV documentaries and theatre. Many of these early electro-jazz-field recordings were for De Wolfe Music, generally regarded as the oldest, largest and original producer of library or production music...” .
