Blake

We mentioned these were on their way a short while back. Well, now you can buy the In the Long Run: 30 Years of the Great North Run series of prints, the work of Sir Peter Blake and also known as the Running Suite.

As we said before, the prints are part of a collaboration between Bupa Great North Run Culture and Opus Art, with Sir Peter Blake producing a portfolio of 10 limited edition prints which will celebrate 30 years of the Great North Run. Each image is a giclee print with silkscreen varnish, measuring 13.5 x 16.5 inches and from a signed edition of 75, all featuring objects or images from the Great North Run archives or sourced from the North East.

You can order either the full set (in a cloth-bound case with colophon page) or individual prints from Opus Art right now. The individual prints sell for £705 each.

Swifty does classic snack-based pop art

Swifty1

You might know Swifty for everything from Straight No Chaser magazine, Mo' Wax and Talkin' Loud through to our very own Modculture site design, but you really should check out his artwork, including this very eye-catching snack-based pop art.

Yes, taking a leaf out of Andy Warhol's book, Swifty has taken various foodstuffs and given them his own twist – like the Salt 'n' Shake above or a classic chocolate bar over the page.

The image above is a four-colour, 500mm x 650mm silkscreen print on Arches Rives paper, limited to just 28, signed and numbered and available online for £75. Check them all out on the site, they'll look great in the kitchen.
