Sharpie Al

Charlotte Alice Overton-Hart, or just Sharpie Al.

Champion of ageing and the old, and the experience and wisdom of older people, inspired by my 92-year-old gran, Nancy.

People are my favourite vintage. Amazing greys.

Beautiful Brighton artwork by Alice Pattullo. I’m particularly glad to see The Duke of Yorks and Laste feature. And the starlings. Always the starlings, with not so much as a seagull or stick of rock in sight. Nice visual cliché avoidance.

Brighton Pier linocut by Colin Moore (sent to me by my dad as a notecard). Moore’s sketchbook ink work is also worth a peruse (especially the striking silhouette of St Paul’s and Battersea power station).

Extracts from The Englishman’s Country (1945).

I particularly like the colours in this image, the honesty of the sky, and the bracing copy. But why single out bath chair users? Everyone can do with a day at the seaside.
