Fred Perry x Sir Peter Blake Blank Canvas polo shirts now available
Not sure if this is being pitched as a piece of art or as a wearable piece of everyday clothing. Whatever way you look at it, the Fred Perry x Sir Peter Blake Blank Canvas polo shirts are now available in limited numbers.
The iconic British pop artist has teamed up with Fred Perry for three shirt styles that have been made and printed in England in a numbered run of 1000. The styles feature rainbow and union jack patches alongside screen printed icons such as stars, hearts and targets. Peter Blake’s signature sign-off sits on each hem and back neck label. There's also some Peter Blake packaging for each one.
A collector's release with a collector's price at £125. Perhaps something to pick up and store way for a rainy day. See the other designs over the page.
New Sir Peter Blake prints launch: Homage to Damien Hirst – Butterfly Man series
It still has that distinctive, vintage-esque collage style, but Sir Peter Blake also gives a nod to the contemporary art scene with the launch of his new set of prints, Homage to Damien Hirst – Butterfly Man.
According to the man himself: 'Damien Hirst has used butterflies in a lot in his work, and it was pointed out that 'the butterfly man' owes more than a little to his work, so I was happy to dedicate him in homage to Damien. I am an enormous admirer of Damien’s work.'

Sir Peter will be there for that to open the exhibition, as will the double decker CCA Art Bus with Blake exterior.
