Discovering Scarfolk: For Tourists & Other Trespassers

I was introduced to Scarfolk through the blog, particularly the fantastic Don’t Campaign “Whatever you do, don’t” and Brutalist Pornography.

The book has a lot more of the absurdist graphic design of Scarfolk, an alternative vision of 1970s England caught between Thatcher, Orwell, and dark satanic rites, but it wraps it all up in a profoundly bad story about a newcomer to Scarfolk searching for his lost sons. Absent of all restraint, the setting wears out its weirdness very quickly. The blog, with its posters and (de)contextualization, is superior in every way.

For more information, please reread.
