Bodie and Fou ABC Love poster

Loveposter
I’m very much liking this new piece of artwork from Bodie and Fou – the ABC Love poster.

Pop art in looks and sixties in sentiment, the poster uses typography for impact, with a consistent font broken up with the word LOVE in colour. Whether you use it as interior design or in your kid’s room as a learning aid, it’s still a great way to break up a plain wall.

Printed on 50# stock with a satin finish, it’s available in two sizes with prices starting at £45. You can pre-order now, with the item shipping from late March.

V&A’s limited edition t-shirt range

Va_pencils
London’s V&A has what is describes as a ‘unique’ archive of 19th and 20th century design and artwork. And rather than leave it hidden away, the museum is releasing interesting and prominent examples as t-shirts in strictly limited numbers.

The one pictured here is Pencils by Joseph Scorsone, dating back to the ‘mid 20th century’ (so we can guess 1950s or 60s), printed onto a slim-fitting 100 per cent cotton t-shirt and limited to just 150 units.

You can pick it up for £25.

Barack Obama vintage revolution-style posters

Barack_poster
If the US election was being decided on art and design, Barack Obama would be streets ahead. And still the artwork comes, the latest of which is this Barack Obama campaign poster by Date Farmers in association with Upper Playground.

The poster will be distributed heavily around Texas prior to the primary in that state. But this vintage revolution-style artwork is also being made available to buy in very limited quantities.

Just 300 of the screenprint will be available to buy, signed and numbered by the artists, with proceeds going towards the Obama campaign. They retail for $200 (£100) and are available now for pre-order.

Corinna Radcliffe’s Cuba products

Cuba_2

On the day that it was announced that Fidel Castro is stepping down as leader of Cuba after 49 years, it seems like a good time to feature Corinna Radcliffe’s Cuba products.

Corinna’s work combines photography with a range of products, including cushions, bags, clocks, purses and canvases. Her photography covers a wide range of topics, often with a retro influence, such as “Best of British”, “1950s”, “Brighton”, and of special interest to us today, “Cuba”.

It is not clear when the Cuba photographs were taken, but they feature vintage cars, old-fashioned cafes and street scenes. It may be that these were taken in the 1960s, but it could also be a testament to how Cuba has remained largely unchanged under Castro. Any of the designs can be printed onto any of the products. Canvases are available in a variety of sizes, with prices starting at £32.99 for A4. Purses and clocks cost £24.99, cushions and lampshades £32.99 and bags £58.99.

Visit the Corinna Radcliffe website to see the full choice of images and products.
