Vintage-inspired New York Photo

Il_570xN.157583092

This vintage-inspired print of a lomography photo of New York is shot with a Holga camera and gives a retro-looking soft finish to the picture.

You can buy a print of the photo, entitled "New York City looking downtown" which was shot with a Holga CFN toy camera. The camera creates a dreamy lense and was taken with a Delta 2300 film to enhance the grainy quality of the photo.

It can be shipped from America for $6 and is 8 x 8 inches and costs $35 (£22.38) from Etsy.

Tiki Lounge Sign

Il_570xN_221723823 
Wood lettering making proclamations of “Home”, “Eat” or “Love” are pretty common, but this is the first Tiki Lounge Sign I’ve seen.

It has been created by Etsy seller, Studio 724 using baltic birch, which has been distressed and given a blue finish, adding to its vintage look. It would look good hung above your home bar next to your Shag print. There is also a diner sign in a similar style. It costs around £30 plus extra for shipping, prices of which the seller will provide if you ask.

Buy it online at Etsy.

Retro Kitchen by Patrick Edgeley

Retro-kitchenFULL 
The Retro Kitchen print is another print by Patrick Edgeley, whose retro-influenced work we’ve mentioned previously.

This one has a decidedly mid-century feel to it, featuring coffeepots, teacups, bowls and canisters decorated with florals and leaf patterns that you would see on enamelware by Catherineholm. Needless to say, it would be great to hang in your kitchen.

The print measures 50cm by 70cm and costs £60 from Box Bird.

London-cockney-rhyming-slang-alphabet-print-5182-p

This new print from Rockett St George lists the cockney alphabet, starting with ' A for Horses' and including all the classics like 'T for Two' and 'U for Me'.

Also known as the surrealist alphabet, the alphabet has been presented in the style of an old-fashioned bus blind and is just under 183cm tall. Don't worry if some of the humour escapes you, as they've also put in the explanations in brackets. 

The print costs £65.
