Posted on | Leave a comment

Ufo1

Very much in the same style as the recent Jason King print comes this limited edition UFO Mindbender print by Piper Gates Design.

Again, influenced by Giannetto Coppola’s work for Penguin, this is a tribute to the Mindbender episode of the cult live action Gerry Anderson show, as well as its lead character, Ed Straker.

The poster is sized at 30 x 40cm, printed on 170 gram paper and is limited to just 15 copies. If you want one, it is being sold via eBay at a 'buy it now' price of £9.99. See a shot of it in a frame over the page.

Charley Harper Greeting Cards

Charley-harper-octoberama-greeting-card 
Charley Harper is a name that should be familiar to anyone with a good knowledge of Modernist art (we've certainly mentioned him before).

For those who don’t know this work consists of stylized wildlife prints, posters and book illustrations, and now there is a range of greeting cards featuring his designs. Pictured here is the Octoberama card, an autumnal and decidedly midcentury style illustration on a 7 by 5 inches blank card.

The cards cost £2.25 each from Hus and Hem.

Mengsel Toucan Print

Birds often turn up in Scandinavian-inspired designs, be it folk-art style doves or owls, but the subject of this print is less common.

The Mengsel Toucan Print by Luzelle van der Westhuizen is inspired by geometric and hand-drawn patterns, particularly those found in African and Scandinavian design. The design is dominated by a bright orange colour, which adds to its retro look. The silkscreen print is available as a limited edition (although the number isn’t specified) and framed in white wood.

It costs £105 from Heal’s.

Town Colour It Yourself Poster from Summerville

You may remember the Scandi Poster from Summerville we featured a while ago – now the same company Summerville have produced a new design on the same idea.

Where the Scandi design featured flowers, the Town Colour It Yourself poster should appeal to anyone with a love of architecture as it features rows of houses in different styles, along with passing traffic of vintage-looking cars. It has been screenprinted, but with only a black outline; the rest being left for you to colour in with pencils, felt tips or crayons as you wish.

It costs about £10 from the Summerville Etsy store.

New limited edition Shag print: Purple Sun

Posted on | Leave a comment

Shag

It's predominantly purple and it features the sun, so calling it Purple Sun is probably a wise move by Shag.

His latest screenprint that is, which offers up a summer vibe and a mid-sixties feel, not to mention a surfboard, a seagull and a glamorous lady. It's an 11-colour serigraph, sized at 37 x 49cm and limited to 200, each signed and numbered by the artist.

$175 is the price, with stocks likely to sell through quickly.

So You Need a Typeface? Print

Posted on | Leave a comment

So-you-need-a-typeface_full_1200px 
If you share my endless fascination with fonts, then you’ll probably love the “So You Need a Typeface?” Print as much as I do.

The title question is printed in the centre of the page; from there you pick why you want a font and follow the Yes/No questions until you reach a font suggestion. Should you actually have a design project in need of a typeface, it could be quite useful, but for those of us with just an amateur interest in such things, it makes an interesting bit of decoration.

It costs $22 from the Felt and Wire Shop.
