My Favourite Things limited edition print by Swifty

Fave

A nice bit of modern-day pop art by Swifty, this particular print going by the name of My Favourite Things.

It doesn't say specifically, but we can second guess that these are indeed a selection of the artist's favourite things from his childhood, brought together in a collage-style print on 190gsm archival paper, sized at 300 x 420mm (perfect for an Ikea Ribba frame apparently).

A limited edition of 20, all signed and numbered by the artist, you can pick one up for £35.

Lomo LC-A+ White limited edition camera set

Lomo1

We have featured the Lomo LC-A+, not least when it celebrated 25 years last year. Well, it’s 26 this year and the camera that started the whole Lomography thing off is back as the Lomo LC-A+ White.

It’s quite a package too. This Soviet-era 35mm camera still has that Russian Minitar 1 f/2.8 32mm lens, but this time comes with a white camera body with white leather detailing that’s ‘inspired by a Japanese garden’. There’s also a multiple exposure switch for easy, real-time double-exposure, expanded film ISO settings from 100 to 1600, a cable release thread for shake-free night-time and indoor shooting and a hot shoe for external flash.

Oh yes, there’s also a cool matching white case and the option to upgrade to allsorts of extras, some of which are pictured over the page. Only 1,000 worldwide, it’s priced at £379.
