The Adventure...

We just got these beauties back from the picture framer, and don't they look sweet!? On the left is a print called 'Orange' - a 4x6" limited edition print by the awesome Gavin Potenza. It only cost £4 including shipping from the US! How mega ace is that! On the right is a print that I don't really know a great deal about. We bought it in April this year from a pop up gallery called Kin, which had opened for a couple of months in Kingly Court (just off Carnaby St. in London). It cost £30, and is called 'The Adventure Ends Here'. I think the artist is called Adam Gate, but that's all I know. Although the message is a bit sinister, it's so bright and cheery - a juxtaposition if ever there was one.

Dante's Tea Break

I found this amazing print via India Knight's Posterious and I couldn't help myself re-blogging about it! The print, by illustrative genius Jamie Wieck, charts the descent into hell for Dante - as originally described in the poem Inferno (the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy)... reinterpreted using the visual power of biscuits. The print is from a limited edition of 50 - so get one before they are all gobbled up!

Things I Like

I bought this super colourful print recently - it turned up, and it is even more awesome in the papery flesh! It's called 'Things I Like', and it literally contains all the things I like - what a coincidence! It was created by US graphic designer Richard Perez (aka Skinny Ships) in a limited edition of 100, and I can't wait to get it on the wall. You better snap one up before they all go!

Music Charts

The geek in me loves charts, so therefore I love this print by Jez Burrows featuring a graphical interpretation of Destroyer's 2006 album 'Destroyer's Rubies'. It's available as a limited edition of 200 from the wonderful Analogue Books. I love their shop (in Edinburgh) where I saw this earlier in the year, but I only just realised that you can buy it online - hooray!

Bright Week + Julia Pott

I feel super lucky this week to have been chosen by ace blogger Concrete and Honey to take part in Bright Week - a celebration of all things bright and colourful. I thought I would celebrate by posting this amazing print from illustrator / animator genius Julia Pott. You can buy Powerlifting Team as an A3 print currently for only $20 from her Etsy store. I know what you're thinking though... brighter? I'll see what I can do!

We Are Brainstorm

I'm loving the fact that there are lots of amazing illustrators and designers around at the moment that are selling wonderful prints of their work at affordable prices. I've just bought 'Henry the Hoot' from design wonder kids We Are Brainstorm. He is going to look grand in our house (once I finish painting the walls!). They have lots of different designs - in case Henry isn't your cup of tea. Go buy, and support amazing young talent!
