Mervyn Peake’s Caterpillar<\/a> from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> finds itself used to promote High Society<\/em><\/a>, an exhibition at the Wellcome Collection devoted to the long history of human drug-taking.

A group of British drug experts gathered by the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (ISCD) rated alcohol higher than most or all of the other drugs for health damage, mortality, impairment of mental functioning, accidental injury, economic cost, loss of relationships, and negative impact on community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 Unless the magazine Man, Myth & Magic<\/em> was advertised on TV in 1970 (and I suspect it would have been) Austin Osman Spare’s work has never been seen on British television, certainly not in any detail or with a credit to the artist. This week the BBC finally paid him some attention with a brief spot on The Culture Show<\/em> as a result of the Fallen Visionary<\/em><\/a> exhibition which is still running (until November 14) in London. Alan Moore, Fulgur<\/a>‘s Robert Ansell and others attempt to summarise Spare’s career in seven minutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“By taking the \u201cG\u201d and extending it to the \u201cD,\u201d I created a house for \u201cGod.\u201d The way the word was designed was part of the logo and so was the type design. So when Paramount Pictures does a film version or Random House, which bought out the book from Putnam, does another Godfather<\/em> book, I still get a design credit. In fact, before the first Godfather<\/em> film opened in New York I saw a huge billboard going up in Times Square with my design on it. I actually got them to stop work on it until we were able to come to an agreement.” Waxing Chromatic: An Interview with S. Neil Fujita<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
