A ardvark Tea Room & Gallery is a fantastic little place in St Leonards-on-Sea. As well as serving up good food, they also use their space to showcase the work of artists and makers. But that’s not all – the Aardvark team have now moved into creating their own posters.

Pictured here is the Aardvark Manifesto print, which neatly sums up their ethos with slogans such as “Bake Cake Drink Tea” and “Love All the People”. This print is A3 size and is available either unframed (£20) or in a black aluminium frame for £40. There are two other inspirational prints which use the same black and red retro typefaces, but are A2 size and cost £25 unframed or £60 framed.

Buy the prints directly from Aardvark.

You may well be tired of vintage slogan prints after the overkill of the Keep Calm range, but I think Paul Flack’s Cup of Tea print is worth making an exception for,

I like the print itself with its wonderful retro fonts and any mention of cups of tea always go down well here, but what makes this print more interesting is the story behind it. Paul Flack was inspired by a photograph of Julie Christie sitting in a 1960s London cafe, where on the wall behind her is a poster like this one. So he created a replica of it, which you can now buy for yourself.

The print costs £80 from Bespoke Boutique.
