Following a recent stock take, I’m discounting all back issues in the BLAG shop to clear the few remaining copies of BLAG 03 and BLAG 05.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone, just like issues 01*, 02 and 04.

*BLAG 01 is now free for all to view on the dedicated back issues page, where paid members can also access digital copies of issues 02–06: https://bl.ag/blag-better-letters-magazine-back-issues/.

New at bl.ag online, ‘Brendan Mooney: Memories of a Signwriter’, with a charming short biopic about this retired signwriter from Birr, County Offaly, Ireland.

Support your local sign painter, and if you’re in Ottawa then that can be the lovely Pascal Arpin. She has usefully included a map on her website so that you can easily go check her work for other businesses before hiring her:

It’s a neat idea, which could only be improved by adding images of the signs directly to the map in case it’s not the weather for walking the streets sign spotting.

A couple of weeks ago I published my periodic ‘worldwide events roundup’ (get them in your inbox via https://bl.ag/join).

This little thread is to share some highlights, starting with next week’s @letterformarchive Salon with Morgane Côme, author of the new Lettres Décoratives book, and yours truly.

It’s free and online on Wednesday, 25 February.
