Sol

L'Affiche Moderne is always an interesting place to look for quirky and often retro artwork without spending a fortune, as this ABC is easy as 123 print by Sol Linero testifies.

Sol Linero is an Argentinian illustrator based in Buenos Aires and obviously inspired by the 1950s, as the alphabet print shows, not to mention his similar Ponch and Lupita print, which is also available on the site.

The print above is limited to 300, available as everything from a print to a canvas in varying sizes. As you can imagine, prices vary because of this, but start at just over 23 Euros.

Back in the day, there was only one man to call if you wanted an iconic rock image for your weekly or monthly magazine – Mick Rock, also known as the man who shot the '70s'. Now those classic images are available to buy as limited edition prints.

Take your pick from the likes of Bowie, Iggy or Debbie Harry, or you can opt for this classic 1969 image of Syd Barrett and his record player. THis particular image is sized at 28 x 35.5cm and is a limited edition of 90, signed by Mick and printed as an archival quality photographic print.

The downside is obviously the price at £825, which doesn't actually include the VAT.

1966 World Cup artwork from Wall Envy

Footy_close_1000

It's pretty hard to escape the rash of football inspired products at the moment. Here's an original piece of artwork that looks back to the 1966 World Cup, made by Wall Envy.

Wall Envy are the people behind the vintage French wall art we featured a while back. It uses the same idea: the words in this case being the names of the players in the 66 England World Cup squad. Like the other piece of artwork, the names are also illustrated onto a page from an old dictionary. However, in this piece – to help you recall that long forgotten taste of victory – the dictionary used is German. 

The piece costs £13.
