Where The Sidewalk Ends: How to find old New York vintage-style map by Herb Lester Associates

Newyork

Remember this really cool London Print by Jim Datz at Pedlars? Well, the same artist is behind the latest Herb Lester Associates vintage-style map, going by the name of Where The Sidewalk Ends: How to find old New York.

Yes, following on from the likes of the 1960s London, You Are Here and May We Help You? maps, this is the firsr trip outside the Uk, with Datz providing the vintage-style imagery for what's described as 'a guide to the New York you’ve always wanted to see but feared might have disappeared for good'.

Expect Edward Hopper diners and down-at-heel dive bars, overstocked grocery stores and mountainous pastrami sandwiches. From Patsy’s Pizzeria in Harlem, to the Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Chinatown, taking in along the way Katz's, the '21' Club and McSorley's Old Ale House to name just a few places. It is A3 (297x420mm) folded to A6 (105x148mm), and litho printed on recycled paper. Price? Just £3.

Aardvark 2011 Manifesto Print

2011web 
Last year, we featured their 2010 Manifesto, so it seems only right that we mention the 2011 Aardvark Manifesto Print.

Like their previous work, the manifesto is a letterpress print, made using traditional wood and metal type and consists of various slogans for better living such “value the commonplace”, “reclaim childhood” and my particular favourite “stay wonky”. The print costs £25 unframed or £50 in a black frame.

Order online directly from Aardvark.

Swedish Tea Time print featuring Stig Lindberg’s Bersa design

Swedish Tea Time

This Swedish Tea Time print honours the Stig Lindberg's distinctive Bersa porcelain design. Originally dating to the 1960s, it's still in production today and still is the ideal accompaniment to a cup of tea, as this design makes clear! 

The print is the work of Handz whose Etsy shop is full of prints inspired by classic kitchenware: other designs are based around Cathrineholm bowls or Marianne Westman's Picknick, for example. 

They are reasonably priced too: far cheaper than the actual objects. This A3 print costs $19.

Mai Tai Zombie by Jonny Hannah

Mai tai

It's not the first time we've featured the striking work of British artist Jonny Hannah. His most recent exhibition Burning Love is a heady wall-to-wall mix of jazz, blues & retro Americana with a twist of wit and wickedness that has become his trademark.

Mai Tai Zombie is a unique painting on a cut out board, resembling the signs that adorned the original tiki bars that swept across America in the 1930s. An appropriate finishing touch for those lucky enough to have a bar at home, or those who just wish they did.

Mai Tai Zombie is £95 from Castor & Pollux - you can catch Jonny Hannah's Burning Love exhibition at their Brighton gallery until 13th March.
