Keith Haring’s art adorns a huge array of products, many of which we’ve featured here before, however, beyond his anti-elitist ethos, I for one know hardly anything about the artist. That could change with the ICA’s screening of “The Universe of Keith Haring”.

The documentary directed by Chistina Clausen features archive footage and interviews with many of his contemporaries and admirers including Grace Jones, Madonna, Yoko Ono, David LaChapelle and Andy Warhol.

It is showing on 28 February at 8.30 at the ICA. For further details and bookings visit the ICA website.

If you're a fan of the wrestler prints by Sir Peter Blake, you'll want to get your hands on the latest instalment – Billy Rainbow.

And things are still running in the family. You see, Billy Rainbow is the son of Babe Rainbow, which means he's also the brother of Bobby Rainbow, long lost twin brother by all accounts. And the print itself is part eight of twelve of the Sir Peter Blake portfolio box set (if you're collecting) – but note that the entire collection of those will be released separately, so get saving.

All of the Billy Rainbow silkscreen prints have the CCA Gallery stamp embossed in the corner and are sold with a certificate of authenticity. Just 175 available in total, priced at £795 unframed.

The latest Andy Warhol-related work by Charles Lutz is something very much out of the ordinary – the Andrew Warhola skateboard deck.

Following on from the previous 'Warhol Denied', 'Sold' and 'Stacked' series, this latest limited edition features an old sepia-toned school photo of Warhol. And if you believe the hype, the photo was actually given to the artist by Warhol from beyond the grave.

A couple of years back, we featured one of Terry Pastor's most iconic works – a print of the sleeve art from David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. And he's still producing interesting art – like these Ray Gun prints.

Take your pick from Ray Gun I and Ray Gun II, both sized around 58.5cm x 80cm, printed on Hahnemuhle 308 gms acid free paper with archival inks and limited to runs of 195. Of course, both also feature the same subject matter of vintage tin toy ray guns, printed 'as accurately as possible, so lovers of these toys can appreciate their authenticity as well as the art', according to Pastor himself.

Available exclusively from Burp Boutique, they retail for £150 each.

Back in 1969, Simboli Design was commissioned to create a 'graphically strong and colourful' range of posters representing the signs on the Zodiac. And 40 years later, you can buy them once more.

The posters were unearthed once again by Paul Smith and used to promote a range of clothing in the recent past – but the daughter of the original designers (Joe and Gerry Simboli) still has some original stock and is selling the last of these stylish posters online, all signed by the designers to give them extra appeal.

Take your pick from all of the Zodiac signs (except Gemini), all very limited, all original and all featuring bold colours and distinctly psychedelic-style 60s designs that scream the era. Sized at 24 x 36 inches, you can buy then online via Etsy for $175 (around £125) each.
