Philately Fridays: Belgium, 1983

Long Live Buddy Esquire, King of the Flyer
In late January 2014, the King of the Hip Hop flyers sadly passed away. Lemoin Thompson III, better known as Buddy Esquire, made his name known through his groundbreaking flyer designs, crafted by hand for early hip hop parties featuring Grandmaster Flash, The Cold Crush Brothers, Kurtis Blow, and other pioneers. Combining rub-on Letraset type, cut-out photographs, and hand-rendered art deco borders and frames, Buddy's style became iconic and, to this day, remains synonymous with old school hip hop.

There is a book of Buddy Esquire's flyer designs to be released this Summer! Keep your eyes peeled for that!

Just came back from a trip to the middle of nowhere, America and returned with this incredible book of drink recipes from 1967. Written by two wives of Washington DC political power players and illustrated by John Astrop and Eric Hill. One of coolest things I've ever found in a used book store. Here's just a taste of what's inside...
