The bottom image is a type design by Juliet Shen.

Incredible!

my husband-to-be’s fascination and respect for the British sub-culture

I received these beautiful Ben Watts pics from him today and they’ve got me remembering rainy nights at the Tractor Tavern filled up with oddball Rockabilly bands sporting extra-long sideburns and bright socks…
oh yeah — and London.
