Kitchen Cupboards print by Anti Graphic

Posted on | Leave a comment

Kitchen-cuboard

Collectors of vintage ceramics and fans of retro cooking wares may have a cupboard that looks something like the Kitchen Cupboards print by Anti Graphic. 

It's hand-screen printed and is a colourful depiction of 'lotus' patterned pans and Hornsea-esque pots, shown alongside classic looking sugar shakers and tubes of mustards. The image would be ideal for brightening up a dull kitchen. 

Anti Graphic is the work of Patrick Edgeley who has produced this print in a limited edition of just 60. Each print costs £37.50.

Little Chav print by Flood The Valley

Posted on | 1 Comment

Chav

Over 50 years since it was first seen, the Little Chef logo is the subject of a tribute – of sorts – by Flood The Valley, going by the name of Little Chav.

Yes, the Brighton duo has brought the classic design into the modern era with a very modern twist, converting the 1950s-designed chef into a that icon of the noughties, the Chav in Burberry and sportswear.

The print is probably a limited edition (although that's not been made clear) and sized at 42cm x 59.4cm. Price? It's yours for £49.

Dr Romanelli x Fraggle Rock x Colette psychedelic poster by Nathan Cabrera

Fraggle_poster

If you're a fan of fraggle Rock, you'll be well advised to check out the Colette website right no, which plays host to a range of all-new Dr Romanelli x Fraggle Rock designs – everything from clothing and tote bags through to toys of the characters themselves. But be quick – we suspect much of it is limited, especially this superb Dr Romanelli x Fraggle Rock x Colette psychedelic poster by Nathan Cabrera.

Yes, an 80s revival using a late 1960s psychedelic theme – this superb artwork could be straight out of a San Francisco wall at the height of the hippy era, if you didn't look at the words and images too closely that is.

If you do look closely at the image, you'll notice that this poster is limited to just 10 units, which probably explains the 155 Euros price tag. The rest of the collection isn't so limited, so comes in much, much cheaper. If you're in the US, check out the same items at the Dr Doozer site.
