People looking to celebrate their love of vintage cameras in alternative medium to photography may appreciate this woodcut print of a twin lens reflex camera. The stylised camera combined with the vivid background colour makes for a striking piece of art. This work is hand printed by Jon Gregory who, along with Sarah Spooner, makes up the Lapwing Printworks. They are based out of Norwich and together experiment with all sorts of printmaking.

One of an edition of seven, this measures 6 x 9 inches and comes unframed.

Artist Stephen Barrett describes his work as “trash with a hint of sophistication” and is inspired by pop culture. He has created a series of pop art style portraits that differ from the norm in that they are made out from glitter.

The collection includes images of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Liza Minnelli and Marianne Faithfull, as well as Superman and Wonderwoman.

Prices range from £185 up to £550. View the collection and buy online from New Blood Art.

If you are looking for an alternative motivational message to keeping calm and carrying on, how about Britain can make it? This was a name of an exhibition that took place at the V&A in 1946 and the original poster design by Ashley Havinden has just been reissued by the museum. The exhibition was organised by the Council of Industrial Design to showcase and stimulate post-war British industry across a number of fields including those shown on the poster, like jewellery, toys, textiles plastics and 'labour savers'.

This A2 poster costs £10 and the slogan has also been used on a variety of other products including t-shirts and bags.

Ink Posters is a collaboration between British designers Joff & Ollie and Zoot (Oslo), offering interesting and quirky artwork with a retro angle – including this Nice To See You limited edition print.

As you've probably worked out, this is an image packed with just about every vintage catchphrase you can think of, from Dick Emery and Harold Steptoe through to Frankie Howard and Bruce Forsyth, all in varying fonts and compiled in the shape of an old theatre poster.

It's a one-colour screenprint printed on fine-quality uncoated paper in a limited run of 500. If you want one, it's yours for £45.

With all the current news of doom and gloom, what better way to celebrate the seemingly imminent apocalypse with this print by Matthew Rose entitled The End of the World? It's based on an original collage Rose did in 2008 which juxtaposes pop art style images found on the street or in junk stores to create a confusing and disturbing, but also fascinating, piece. 

Whilst the original collage sold for $5,500, this giclée print retails for £38. It's only available in a limited edition run of 85 prints, so grab one before the end is nigh.
