The Retro Kitchen print is another print by Patrick Edgeley, whose retro-influenced work we’ve mentioned previously.
This one has a decidedly mid-century feel to it, featuring coffeepots, teacups, bowls and canisters decorated with florals and leaf patterns that you would see on enamelware by Catherineholm. Needless to say, it would be great to hang in your kitchen.
The print measures 50cm by 70cm and costs £60 from Box Bird.
This new print from Rockett St George lists the cockney alphabet, starting with ' A for Horses' and including all the classics like 'T for Two' and 'U for Me'.
Also known as the surrealist alphabet, the alphabet has been presented in the style of an old-fashioned bus blind and is just under 183cm tall. Don't worry if some of the humour escapes you, as they've also put in the explanations in brackets.
The print costs £65.

Czech Republic-based graphic designer Jan Skácelík has created this great Retro Scandinavian Style Star Wars Poster.
He has taken elements of the original film, Episode IV: A New Hope such as R2D2, a Stormtrooper helmet and a lightsaber, and recreated them in a midcentury style. The poster is available in either yellow or red and in A3 or A2 size. There is also an Empire Strikes Back poster in a similar style, but no Return of the Jedi or tributes to the more recent trilogy, which Ewok-haters and purists might approve of.
The A3 size poster costs approximately £12 from Etsy.
Claudia Varosio’s best known work are her illustrated film posters, but she also has a small collection of paper doll prints, including this Elvis Paper Doll Print.
The print features a cartoon Elvis in his pants and vest surrounded by a selection of his most famous costumes (including a white jumpsuit), all with little tabs on them like paper doll outfits. The print measures 18 by 12 inches and costs about £12. Other prints in the range include David Bowie, Edie Beale (from the classic documentary Grey Gardens) and Clint Eastwood.
Buy them online from Claudio Varosio’s Etsy store.
Recently, we featured an article on the best vintage camera apps for the iPhone. But what about photos you've already taken on a camera? Well, now there's Lo-Fi.
It follows a similar principle to the mobile apps, but operates on your PC or Mac to offer retro effects for existing photos. You can mix a wide range of effects from the film world, such as grain, colourful cross processing, lens blur, light leaks and frames. Combine more than one to create something unique. You can even hit a button for random effects, if you can't be bothered tweaking.
Along with editing, there's also easy sharing via Flickr and Facebook and if you want to try it out, there's also the option to try for free. If you like, the full download sells for $29.
