Paul Thurlby's Alphabet Book

We love London based illustrator, Paul Thurlby's gorgeously retro Alphabet Prints (above).

The beautifully illustrated letters are now available as signed/numbered, limited edition Giclee prints, as greeting cards and have just been made into a children's ABC book (below)!

Paul Thurlby's Alphabet will be published by Templar and released on July 1st. I for one can't wait to get my hands on a copy - I think it's going to be as popular with adults as it will with children.

Pre-order your copy here for only £8.69!

Vintage Circus Posters

These gorgeous, vintage circus posters have been tucked away here for quite a few years. They're American and mostly from the 60'/70's with the exception of the black, red and yellow, Royal Hanneford Circus one, which is from 1990.

I absolutely love the off-set print on the graphics, the sometime garish colours and the big type. The circus would have lots of the posters printed with blank space at the top or bottom to have the dates printed as and when required.

All the above posters are printed onto a thick card and are approx. 357 x 560 mm in size. They're currently part of the AT Open House at 42 Hendon Street, Brighton and have just been added to their new web shop. Quick, grab yourself a bargain vintage poster!

Pics from the AT Openhouse

So Saturday afternoon I worked the vintage tearoom at AT Openhouse (complete with vintage pinny) I sliced cake, poured tea and chatted to visitors about the artists/work on show. It's the first Openhouse I've been involved with and although it was only day one, I really enjoyed it.

The house looks incredible, April and Tim have completely given their lovely home over to the show - every room, corner and shelf is full to bursting with prints, paintings, vintage clothes, jewellery, soft furnishings and cake from 17 different artists, designers, crafters and print makers.









AT Openhouse is at 42 Hendon Street, Brighton BN2
Open throughout May 12-6pm, Saturdays & Sundays.

Keep up to date with AT goings on here.

Eliza Fricker Screenprints

We're loving the work of Brighton-based, illustrator and screen printer Eliza Fricker - from bold, bright architectural prints to quirky and kitsch collages, they're all fantastic. Our personal favourite is the cat and cake collage - cats and cake, what's not to like, it's like it was made for us!

Eliza's screenprints will soon be available in her Etsy store and have recently been accepted for the Islington Art and Design Fair. You can keep up-to-date with all Eliza's new work and daily goings on over on her blog.
