Description
Screenprinted poster, âFunday Sundayâ in red and white large text on a yellow background. An illustration shows a colorful clown holding white and red balloons beside a Beano illustration. Inside the white balloon is text â8 Juneâ. The other balloon includes âclowns, street theatre, puppets, omnibus, metronomes, inflatable, horse riding, cycle speedway, cricket, roller skating, fun for all.â
This poster was made by Paddington Printshop, a community graphic design and print workshop in West London, co-founded by John Phillips and Pippa Smith. Between 1975-1991, the centre printed over 400 designs for left-wing community organisations. These publicised local political campaigns such as housing rights and food co-ops, to social gatherings including play days, gardening clubs, gigs and festivals. Their do-it-yourself style was part of the proto-punk ethos.
