One For Sorrow. Two For Takeaway.
The old rhyme said silver. This version is more honest. Two chunky hand-drawn magpies stand side by side on a clean white ground — spiky little crests, round indignant eyes, stick legs splayed with the energy of birds who have been standing here since before you arrived and will be standing here after you leave. Above them: ONE FOR SORROW. Below them: TWO FOR TAKEAWAY. That’s it. That’s the piece. Executed in a loose, confident sketch style with the deadpan wit of the best British humor and the visual simplicity of art that knows exactly what it’s doing, this print is the kind of thing that gets photographed by every single person who walks into the room.
