A new map from Herb Lester is always a joy, but especially so when it features one of my favourite places as is the case with Distinctively San Francisco.

Visit London greeting cards by Hello! Lucky
Okay, we've featured a lot of retro-styled London designs recently, but this Visit London greeting card by Hello! Lucky has got to be one of the most charming.
The letterpress design shows the capital looking idyllic, complete with neat townhouses, cute scooters and plush cars, alongside sights such as the Eros statue and Tower Bridge, all executed in a striking black, red and white colour scheme. Hello!Lucky have offices in both London and San Francisco and this card has been designed for them by San Francisco team Lab Partners (you may remember them from their Ode to Pears print), which may account for the tourist's view of the city as show on the cards.
A set of six cards costs £10.20.

San Francisco lomo art photograph
Truly a special piece for anyone familiar with this great city. This lomo art photograph of San Francisco was taken with a vintage camera, using film that is no longer in production. There are three prints of 16 x 16 inches available or other sizes can be made to order.
A larger verson of the famous image, featuring downtown San Fancisco with a view across the bay, was recently on display with RAW Artists at Cinespace in Hollywood.
Even it's creation, by hand in a darkroom with an enlarger and trays, gives this unique photo a retro aura and if you're as taken by this image as we are, get your very own on Etsy, for £82.51, made by Tara Holland. Prints are made to order, and will take a minimum of three weeks to arrive with extra costs for posting to the UK, find out more on the Etsy website.
Ode to Pears print by Lab Partners

Even better is that it's very reasonably priced at $20, plus $8 shipping to the UK, making it an easy way to get one of your five-a-day.
