Sleep as long as you like, just be awake more.
New Year Revolutions is a thought provoking and visually stunning collaboration between:
Tony Walsh, aka Longfella "one of the UK's most renowned performance poets", and Four Design consultants.
The collaboration takes the text from Tony's poem "Repeat After Me", a favourite from his performances around the UK, re-launches it as "New Year Revolutions: 21 ideas for a better world" and adds stunning design for each of the poem's 21 lines.
Now for the very first time, these images are available as a series of high-quality, limited edition prints.

21 ideas for a better world.
Number one
Sleep as long as you like, just be awake more. Number two
See through their mirrors and truly reflect. Number three
Every day may end in Y but should begin with "why not?" Number four

Walk more and leave smaller footprints. Number ten
Don’t die of consumption. Number eleven
Don’t make poverty history, make it current affairs. Number twelve
Save seeds from flowers. Number thirteen
Grow flowers from seeds. Number fourteen

Learn the answers but teach the questions. Number sixteen
Give big dreams to small children. Number seventeen
