Serge Gainsbourg signed print by Stan Chow

Serge

Not the first Serge Gainsbourg print we've featured – you may remember Serge – Singer Lover, Provocateur, Smoker or Lord Dunsby's Serge-inspired Melody print. But we think Serge Gainsbourg by Stan Chow has its own unique charm.

This is a more of a caricature than a serious take on the man – and all the better for it. Love that plume of smoke rising up. It's printed on 100% Cotton Matte Archival 315gsm paper, sized is A3+ (13 x 19 inches) and signed by the artist.

Good value though, you can pick one up for £20.

We have previously mentioned Kevin Cummins’ postcards celebrating the music of Manchester and Liverpool, but even more of a treat is his Joy Division Postcard Box Set.

Cummins is viewed by many as the definitive chronicler of the Manchester music scene, beginning his career at around the time that Joy Division started. This special edition box set features 20 of his iconic Joy Division images, reproduced as postcards and presented in hand finished box. Appropriately, the set was made in Manchester.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Christmas by Charlotte Farmer at Found Bath

Noddy_says1
The store Found, Bath, have collaborated with local illustrator Charlotte Farmer to produce a fantastic range of items under the title Rock 'n' Roll Christmas

You may remember Charlotte's work from the Family Favourites design she did for for New House Textiles. Here her illustrations have been applied across a fifty piece set of plates and jewellery boxes and have been inspired by classic Christmas songs as well as now redundant technology. For example, the Noddy Says plate set pictured above features the famous opening line to Merry Xmas Everyone, alongside a 70s tape recorder. Other designs feature Elvis, Elton John and John and Yoko (there's an image of that one over the page). There's even a shopping bag based around the lyrics to Imagine. 

Individual plates are £18, while plate sets are £25. You can also get jewellery boxes for £18.

Vyconic Turntable Clocks

Il_570xN_192098712 
Vyconic specialises in refurbishing old record players to create Turntable Clocks.

The old pieces of equipment have been re-painted with bright colours, a classic piece of vinyl placed on the turntable and clock mechanism added, to create a truly distinctive piece. I’m presuming that the turntables were beyond repair and the vinyl scratched, otherwise it might be seen as a waste. Prices range from £50 to over £100 depending on the turntable used.

Buy them online from the Vyconic store on Etsy.
