This self portrait by George Hardie was originally made in 1973, when George had recently left the Royal College of Art. The artwork was produced as a first stage towards making a logo marque that George used for many years, in particular his time at Nicholas Thirkell Associates (NTA). The logo marque appears on page 16 of the limited edition book by Hardie, ‘Manual’.

The text at the bottom of the print reads “My wife drives me to the cottage and my work drives me back”.

Screen printed in two base layers, black a metallic and a final white representing the Tippex marks.
