Manchester Bus Print

Il_570xN_186708822 
London’s transport is featured on plenty of things, but what of the North? Manchester has its own iconic transport in the old style orange bus that ran into the city, as is immortalised in this Manchester Bus Print.

The print is by Tea and Ceremony and features the 164 route which is the service that used to take the artist from their home into the city centre. The print is sold unframed but as it is A4 size it should be easy to frame yourself.

The Manchester Bus Print costs $18 (around £11.50) from Tea and Ceremony’s Etsy shop.

London Weekend print at Bodie and Fou

Londonweekend

Sadly not a large graphic of the old London Weekend Television image (there's an idea for all you graphic designers), the London Weekend print at Bodie and Fou is still a very unique and eye-catching piece of art.

Designed by Betsy Benn, it features what are described as 'London's most popular weekend destinations' in a vintage font against a matt black background that's probably going to be familiar to seasoned bus users in the capital.

It's printed on 305gm Hahnemuhle photo rag, ultra smooth paper and sixzed at A2, which is 42 x 59.4cm. Sold unframed, it sells for £45.

A tribute to an icon who has, perhaps, never been so hip, the Serge – Singer, Lover, Provocateur, Smoker limited edition print by Bonnie and Clyde.

Want one? You can order Serge online, priced at £250.

Festival of Britain print by Lizzie Allen

Festival of Britain

Wallpaper designer Lizzie Allen has been commissioned to produce this Festival of Britain print which ties in with the Royal Festival Hall's 60th anniversary next year.

Allen's work frequently draws inspiration from 1950s illustrations, such as with her City Gents wallpaper and this design – and subject matter – reflects that interest. The reduced colour palette of yellow, red and grey creates a period feel and draws attention to the gleaming new Festival Hall in the background. There's also an atmosphere of fun – from the aeroplane in the sky, to the brass band, to the 60th birthday balloon. 

The print is on a large scale, at 70 x 100cm and is limited to a run of 60 copies. Each print costs £250.
