Following the Martin Sharp print we mentioned yesterday, here is another iconic image from the psychedelic Sixties. This time in the form of a t-shirt, it is Michael English’s Nite Tripper.

eBay watch: 1970s Patrice Dupont-designed Philips 303 ‘UFO’ portable record player
It's a design that has featured before in our easy spot but I'm flagging up this Philips 303 'UFO' portable record player once more because this example is in such great condition.
UFO mobile by Anni and Bent Knudsen
The names of Anni and Bent Knudsen may not be up there with some of the other famous Danish designers but the duo have been making paper cut mobiles since 1952, including this UFO mobile design.
Limited edition UFO postcard set by Piper Gates Design
Limited edition UFO Mindbender print by Piper Gates Design
Very much in the same style as the recent Jason King print comes this limited edition UFO Mindbender print by Piper Gates Design.
Again, influenced by Giannetto Coppola’s work for Penguin, this is a tribute to the Mindbender episode of the cult live action Gerry Anderson show, as well as its lead character, Ed Straker.
The poster is sized at 30 x 40cm, printed on 170 gram paper and is limited to just 15 copies. If you want one, it is being sold via eBay at a 'buy it now' price of £9.99. See a shot of it in a frame over the page.
eBay watch: Patrice Dupont-designed Philips 303 UFO portable record player with a low starting price
I know this is something we have featured before, but I can't resist flagging up this Patrice Dupont-designed Philips 303 UFO portable record player, because the starting price is so low.
All too often, this icon of the 1970s space age era comes with a substantial 'Buy It Now' price, but this example can find its own price. As auctions always should. This UFO has the red cover and has apparently been checked by a 'specialist', with 'quite expensive, Germanium Transistors' replaced, so it's good to go for many more years. it also has a new battery compartment (works with battery or mains) and plays 'like a new one'.
A few minor usage marks, says the seller, but nothing more. Which is why it's worth talking about. Bidding stands at £1 right now.
