Jack Hurley has been working on some alternative tourist posters for seaside resorts.There's a flavour here of the Caravan Gallery's postcards 'Welcome to Britain', which have a more broad general target.
There was also a famous Viz comic variation on the famous 'Skegness: it's so bracing' poster, which I won't reproduce here as it's quite rude.
Thanks to David Jarratt, who is my go-to person for seaside related stuff for mentioning these on his excellent Twitter feed.
They have provoked some interesting responses from geographers who are interested in whether these perspectives are 'insider' or 'outsider' ones.
There's also an Etsy shop where prints and postcards can be bought.
Celebrating the coast's thin drizzle of disappointment.
