Flower Kat print by David Weidman

Flowerkat
If you think the use of colour and pattern in David Weidman's Flower Kat print screams the 1970s that's because it was created in the 70s – 1973 to be exact. 

It's one of three screen prints by Weidman currently for sale on the Elphicks website, all open editions of work created in the 60s and 70s. The artist began his career as an animator in 1950s L.A. before going on to produce his own work. His portfolio of work is vast but retains the distinctive look evident in this print.

If this has sparked your curiosity, more of his work can be seen in the retrospective book Whimsical Work of David Weidman.

This print costs £49.
