When I first moved to Brighton 15 years ago, a friend pointed out to me the hilarious Argus headlines that appear on billboards outside shops. Ever since, I've been enjoying their quirkiness, so I was very pleased to read in The Leader recently that a local graphic designer, Will Blood, is using them as inspiration for his sketches.
The idea for his latest project came about when he saw the headline "Vomiting bug shuts hospital" - he is trying to do a sketch a day in less than 5 minutes, and started posting them on Instagram a couple of weeks ago.
Check out his illustrations on his Instagram page at william_blood or his website willblood.com
Other favourite attention-grabbing headlines from the Argus include:
"Beware the Death Brownie"
"Wifi is cooking our children"
and "Finger found in drain"....!
