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.

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.

eBay watch: 1950s Hans Gugelot-designed Braun G11 valve radio

Posted on | Leave a comment

Braun

Not just a cool piece of midcentury design, this Hans Gugelot-designed Braun G11 valve radio is still in working order as a radio too.

Best known for his work with Dieter Rams, this 'solo' design from Gugelot offers up LW, MW and FM reception, maple veneers, a contrasting white face for the controls and a set of vintage valves within for a rich, warm sound.

As we mentioned earlier, it's offered in full working order, with the veneers in 'fair' condition, with some minor damage and marking – see the close-up shots on the sales page for more on that. But lt.'s be honest – this is well over 50 years old, so hardly surprising. A rare design, with the bidding price right now at £21.
