Books Badges and T-shirts................................Badge Designs

From the archives (1990's) Collaged designs on a grid sent out by Mark. I posted them to him to make into 1 inch pin badges. He usually did 100 very quickly and cycled over from Hackney in East London to deliver them and collect payment and stop for lunch or dinner. Most of the badges were sent out with mail art works or for projects we did at the time. Some were for Hazel's "Lucky Bags" that were sold at the V&A shop and various other places.

    I read about Mark's badge making prowess. Wow! My art school friend, James, had a "Badge-A-Minute" machine (entirely hand operated) and he made buttons for everyone back in the early 1980s...he'd make them from magazine images and his drawings and would customize them for you as requested. I have some about and will dig them out.

    Nice assortment here!

    Eye-popping details & colours. I used to love poring over the badges at gigs and record shops.
