Camera print by Andrew Joyce

Camera

If you're a vintage camera enthusiast, there's plenty of artwork out there to cater to your taste, but I'm betting this camera print by Andrew Joyce is one of the most reasonably priced.

Like the work of Christine Berrie that we featured a little while back, this design is based around a range of cameras. The rolleicord, the polaroid,even the iPhone – they're all depicted by Bath-based Joyce in this A2 sized print. The single colour of the screen print that's been used helps enhance the vintage feel of the objects illustrated. 

If you like the print, you're advised to snap one up now. It's an edition of 25, priced at just £15.

An East London Companion – new retro-inspired map by Herb Lester Associates

Posted on | Leave a comment

East_london

We have featured the previous vintage-style maps by Herb Lester Associates and if you liked those, we're pretty sure you'll love the new one, An East London Companion.

According to the folk behind this, a lot of time has been put into this particular project, a guide to East London shops, cafés, bars, pubs, butchers, bakers and even a candlestick maker. There are 99 entries in total, from an area stretching from Old Street to Hackney Wick. Some of those will be unfamiliar even to locals. Boi Gordo, Casa Mexico and Mama Vic’s are apparently all 'real finds', and while Labour And Wait, Present and Pizza East may be better known, they’re certainly deserving of a mention on the map.

It was designed and illustrated in east London, litho printed on recycled paper.  £4 gets you one. See over the page for a brief glimpse inside.

Andy Warhol for Incase

Posted on | Leave a comment

Warhol-snap-cases
Everyone's favourite Pop artist is now available to add a touch of style to your favourite technology, thanks to the Andy Warhol for Incase range.

It's a range of cases, sleeves and bags for the iPhone, iPad and Mac Book featuring Warhol's artwork. The first few items of the range are based around the banana image produced for the Velvet Underground and Nico album in 1966 and his take on camouflage, with more designs to follow. The range has been authorized by the Andy Warhol Foundation who argue Warhol's fascination with technology means, if alive today, he would have been an avid fan and devourer of these products. 

With some products available now and some ready for pre-order, prices start at $49.95 for a snapcase for the iPhone 4.
