Add a seasonal flavour to your wall with Marcus Walters' Autumn screenprint.

We've already shown you his take on the traditional children's alphabet and here he shows his style works for grown-ups too. The print plays with the bright silhouettes of leaves set against colourful abstracted shapes giving the artwork a very mid-century look. 

This is one of a first edition of 40 and costs £175.

Regular readers might recall we featured the Cover Version exhibition in Sheffield some weeks back, where artist Pete McKee asked various arty types to create a piece of art based around a favourite record sleeve. Well, one such piece was Melody by Lord Dunsby, which you can now buy online.

It's one image on the newly-launched Lord Dunsby site, along with many other cool and quirky ones with a retro and vintage twist that are available in the webstore.

The one above is signed and numbered, in a run of 100 and sized at 12 x 12 inches. You can secure it for £30.

Keep Calm and Scoot On Poster

Il_570xN_192052140 
For a while I was tired with the Keep Calm moto, but this Keep Calm and Scoot On poster has reignited my enthusiasm.

It is part of a series of designs aimed at encouraging people to keep doing the things they love, which the designer had noticed were being neglected during these tough times. Other words of encouragement include to “a eat a cupcake”, “sew on” “snap on” (with a vintage camera) and something we need no persuasion to do ,“drink tea”.

A 13 by 19 inches poster costs around £10 and is available in an array of colours from the Keep Calm Shop on Etsy.

New limited edition Shag print: Two Hours Past Bedtime

Shag

Probably cooler and less risque thna you might have been expecting, the original Two Hours Past Bedtime by Shag was originally part of the Playboy Redux: Contemporary Artists Interpret the Iconic Playboy Bunny exhibition earlier this year. If you likr it, you can now secure yourself a limited edition print of it.

It is pretty much what the above paragraph says, a tribute to the Playboy bunny by Shag (aka Josh Agle), which was originally exhibited at the Andy Warhol Museum. The print here is limited to 150 units (although only a limited number are available via Shag's site), an 18-colour serigraph of a party scene that's sized at 20.5 x 40 inches.

Signed and numbered as you would expect, you can pick one up online for $495. But be quick – these prints tend to sell through quickly.
