Small Pieces

Well known attractions and landmarks are portrayed with highly exaggerated levels of colour and contrast. Created from original photographs, these strong, graphic images build on what is already there, possibly making more of the subject than might have been seen at first glance. What makes an attraction attractive in the first place?Prints, as well as greetings cards, mean that you can have a small piece of somewhere very special on the wall.

Photographs

Pictures of everyday life, with more than a touch of the unusual. Moments in time, captured to last a fair bit longer. Immediately engaging and direct, these photographs remove the subjects from their original reality and isolate them into a world of their own. There are black and white images printed from original negatives going back over fifty years or so, sitting beside more recent digital colour prints, providing a new view on what was actually there in the first place.

A series of artworks created using the simplest of content but suggesting some complex messages. Reading between the lines can highlight taking or giving, inequality and unfairness, dominance and aggression. When lines and colour work together, they attract, engage and communicate, maybe changing an opinion or two.

Traphic

Some of the best examples of British informative design are found by the side of the road. Here are prints with a light-hearted and frivolous take on these authoritative images, with gifts and greetings cards following the same theme. Sometimes, things are not always as they seem and, often, there are mixed messages.

The Procrastinator

If you enjoy a little creativity yourself, then these products could really appeal. These doodling products were described as pure genius when they first came out, well before all the other scribbling books. There are notebooks, doodlers and cards to take your mind off the real world. There’s also a proper retro game for parties and team events, or just to enjoy as an old-fashioned diversion from everything else digital.
