Victorian Collage Cards by Spotted Sparrow

Posted on | Leave a comment

Normal_playboy 
Spotted Sparrow has produced the great Victorian Collage Cards range, which combines Victorian imagery with 1980s pop references. An unusual combination, but it works well.

There are eight designs to pick from, some more credible than others. As well as the Last of the Famous International Playboys design pictured here, I like the designs based on Love Will Tear Us Apart, Lips Like Sugar and You Spin Me Round (featuring a Penny Farthing). The cards cost £3.50 each which includes the option of having your own personalised message printed inside.

Go to the Spotted Sparrow website to see the whole range.

Paul Smith cassette-style case for iPhone 4

Posted on | Leave a comment

Paul smith case

We've featured many products inspired by the humble tape in the past but this cassette-style case for the iPhone 4 has got to be the classiest yet – mainly because its got Paul Smith's name on the label.

Produced in collaboration with Apple, it uses a simple design of a cassette printed onto a leather case. Take a look at the label scribbled with 'Side A' and you'll see the Paul Smith name there, written out in simple type. 

As you might expect the use of the designer name adds to the price tag too: this case costs £89.95.

Buy it from the Apple Store

Music Business canvas print by Dale Edwin Murray

A striking piece of music-inspired art with this Music Business canvas print by Dale Edwin Murray.

The piece by this London-based illustrator has a clear 60s influence – it depicts the sleeve of a sharply suited man merging into the form of a vinyl record. The design is printed onto canvas which makes it even more of a statement piece – and no need to bother about framing either. 

The canvas is limited to 250 copies and costs £99.

Mixtape stamp activity kit from Yellow Owl Workshop

Mixtape

The humble cassette compilation once more provides inspiration for designers, this time in the form of a mixtape stamp activity kit. It's made by the Yellow Owl Workshop, who you may remember from their ceramic polaroid camera. 

The kit includes a rubber stamp representing an old fashioned mixtape mounted onto a marble block. You'll also get a blue ink pad and a red pencil, ready to dedicate your print. The music, however, you'll have to provide another way. 

The stamp kit costs $19.

Musical Bouquet print by Madamesange

This Musical Bouquet print by Madamesange is a joyful piece of retro-styled artwork. 

Madamesange is otherwise known as Helen Lang. This piece has something of a fifties/early sixties feel about it, from the boxy look of the musician to the sketchy style of the flowers. 

A lovely piece of artwork, if you like it we advise moving quickly – it's a limited edition of just twenty. 

The print costs £58.

Not quite up there with Yesterday or Hey Joe in the number of covers, but “Night Time is the Right Time” has certainly been covered by plenty of people, including Ray Charles, The Sonics and The Animals.

Now those lyrics have found their way onto this t-shirt by Adam Hayes. Adam is a graduate of the Royal College of Art and is particularly interested in typography as this design shows. The t-shirt is navy and available in small, medium or large, priced £30.
