FOLK ART, WIDE SHOULDERS AND EXPANDING FACES

For many years now I have published books and therefore have a natural interest in type faces.

This morning when standing behind a young woman in an Asda queue I noticed that the type face on her tattoo was Helvetica Extra BOLD. Since if was fuzzy at the edges it occurred to me that it was probably applied when she was younger and thinner. Then It would have probably been Helvetica FINE.

I wonder if I can get an Arts Council grant or write a doctorate in Media Studies on how body change brought on by increases in fat affects someone's perception of themselves.

It is worth a shot. Afterall it is an aspect of community art.
