About

50 Watts is a growing archive of weird and wonderful visual ephemera from around the world.


"Quite possibly the richest source of book-related design and illustration in the universe. Will displays the fervour of the most dedicated historian whilst time and again proving he has an eye for exceptional images." --David Pearson


50 Watts started out as A Journey Round My Skull in 2007.

50 Watts Books launched in March 2021 at a new website, 50wattsBooks.com. Please sign up there for news and book talk. Like 50 Watts, the new bookstore and small press will highlight strange and wonderful international books -- graphic design icons and odd vintage book covers, surrealism and underground comix, arcane literature and funky gift books, prints, and ephemera.

All of these wonderful and weird images are featured so long as no one objects.
