Simple painted sign on a wall with one layer very easily readable, while an older layer below that consists only of very faint traces of paint.
Can anyone make out the long word/phrase in the second layer of this palimpsest?
Layer 1 (rust lettering): "Whitebread, Earl Russell Inn"
Layer 2 (black lettering): "The Earl Russell, West _______ try"
The location is 143 Lawrence Hill, Bristol BS5 0BT (corner […]

Brick gable end with a medley of fading painted signs visible as layers on top of each other. The effect leads to confusion as to which letters, words, and slogans belong to which signs/brands, but there is an intrinsic beauty in the onion-like layers of history that they represent.
Wow, check out this monster palimpsest from Poughkeepsie, New York. In addition to the dominant Uneeda Biscuit layer, there is at least one other for what looks like Liberty Tobacco.
Running across the top are two lines that seem to be "Biggest and Best ... On […]

Tall gable-end wall with chimney stacks on top. The bricks are covered in a medley of overlapping fading painted signs, with "Save Money, Gillette" being most prominent.
I'm working with @RoyReed on a reissue of our book, Ghost Signs: A London Story. Sadly this is having to report on some signs lost since it was first published in 2021.
This is one of them, now time-capsuled beneath the new, taller, structure that has been […]

Today the worlds will end. Not only this, the actual, the hateful one, but all those more-or-less untruthful shadows teeming in the mind. The pasts, the presents, and the futures (oh, especially the futures) all refracted through nostalgia or the ideologies of infinite revenge. The fictions, the romances, every happy-ever-after, every kitchen sink and Aga, every six-gun-toting outlaw, every starship, every god. Today the hopes and fears will end. The real ones and the promises of politicians in their manifestoes; the projects and defences, the contingency arrangements, the architects’ impressions, and the plans for winter wheat. For with this little pile of pills washed down with single malt, I shall become Death, Destroyer of Worlds.
"Destroyer of Worlds".

Mixed-media abstract with tea-stained receipts, ghostly handprints, and a sketched eye partly wiped away under a low raking lamp; colors of parchment white, umber, bottle green, and oxidized copper layered and scratched so the traces refuse to disappear.

Palimpsest
to scrape away old text, layer over it with something new, but traces of the old still peek through
It feels like metaphor
For life
For recovery
For trauma
Someone may try to change you to your core
But deep down
Who you are can never be erased

An old, dilapidated building in Morocco. It's a fondouk, a sort of traditional cross between a motel and a trading post, where visiting tradesmen could stay upstairs and store/sell their wares downstairs. It's slowly falling apart and looks like it may crumble at any moment, but many occupants over the years have made adjustments which add a depth and richness to the overall impressions of the space. There are new walls, screens, roofs, railings, shades, canopies, cables, ladders... it's a visual hive of past activity.
A screen print based on the previous photo. It's just a line drawing with moments of shade. The only colour used is orange.
It's a shame that these accumulated, layered spaces often veer into the actually unsafe. Take this example of a fondouk in Marrakech, for instance.
It's clearly structurally unsound, and probably a huge fire risk. But I still find the obvious visual presence […]

The back wall of a building and some of its services. hatches, louvres, conduits, cables, meters, graffiti, peeling paint and rusting metalwork... There's order to it, but it wasn't derived by any kind of overall aesthetic intent.

Since I'm now thinking about them, a few more pictures of walls of crap, from the archives.
Honestly I absolutely adore these moments, but it's hard to describe exactly why.
I think it's something along the lines of how they express a history of absolutely […]
