Vintage UPA cartoon-style portraits by SkribblyKids

It's a portrait of you – but these vintage UPA cartoon-style portraits by SkribblyKids come with their very own retro twist.

As the title suggests, it's a personalised portrait on offer – you send over a photo, clothes you want to be wearing, colours etc, the artist will send back a rough drawing, changes are made and the final image is posts off to you. Yes, you and your family (or anyone to be honest) in vintage cartoon glory.

The image above is just one example, but more are available to view on the Etsy page. Want one? You're looking at around $100 (around £64).

London, Paris, New York prints by Bianca Gomez

A great take on three of the world's great cities, courtesy of Bianca Gomez and her prints of London, Paris and New York. 

Each print depicts a different city in the style of a classic travel poster. While the simple elements are the same in each image – a man in the city, the name of the place running across the print – she manages to inject a bit of personality into each scene. The New York print, for example, looks like its come straight off the cover of a vintage New Yorker magazine, while the London print cleverly uses the font traditionally used for the capital's transport system. The Paris print is suitably full of Gallic charm. 

Each print is A4 sized and you can buy them individually for $30 each, or $75 for a set of three. Alternatively you can get larger individual prints for $60 each.

London Skyline print by Kate McLelland

Posted on | Leave a comment

London SkylineLondon's landmarks have provided inspiration to artists over hundreds of years. Kate McLelland's London Skyline print offers another take on the capital. 

This striking design was recently awarded second placed in the London Transport design competition and the Edinburgh based illustrator has drawn on folk styles for her depiction, adding a fairytale quality to landmarks like the BT Tower and the Gherkin, as well as to traditional London sights like red phone boxes and double decker buses. The print is depicted in the patriotic colours of red, white and blue. 

The print is limited to 41 copies and costs $50.

Small Circles Coffee Table

Il_430xN_147056419 
The Small Circles Coffee Table is one for our readers in the USA, as it is made in Portland and shipping it further a field seems unlikely.

Michael Arras makes these one-of-a-kind cocktail/coffee tables by joining together small pieces of high-grade birch plywood into one whole table. The one shown here is stained a cinnamon colour, but there are another 16 colours if this doesn’t suit.

The table costs $399 and can be ordered online from Michael Arras’ Etsy Store.

Mid-century homewares print by MadebyAnna

Posted on | Leave a comment

Turquoise collection

This print from MadebyAnna is exactly what it claims to be: it's a collection of mid-century homewares, depicted in turquoise.

It's the work of Anna Betts, an illustration student and this is a digital print of an original collage. There's a sewing machine, scales, typewriter and other covetable goods, topped off by the retro type and – of course – the turquoise colouring. 

The print is A2 size and available for £30.

Alice Apple mini prints

It's always satisfying to get original art into your home. Even better if it's affordable too. Something of an artistic bargain then are these mini prints by Alice Apple. 

Alice Apple's name may sound familiar as we've featured some of her colourfully decorated mugs in the past. This print shows the same love of pattern, illustrating a kitchen scene surely worthy of Orla Kiely and a 60s/70s feel. The print is very small – just postcard sized – but as it comes in four different colour ways, you could invest in all four and make a larger feature of them. 

And you can afford to do that too, as the print costs just $5. That's approximately £3.29 using the handy new Etsy converter.
