Giant, self-adhesive vintage stamps as art from Quercus & Co

I’m completely in love with these jumbo vintage stamp posters from Quercus & Co. They’re so unique and make a great impact at a low price, with low commitment as they’re self adhesive (like regular stamps!) and removable (so perfect for renters too). I also love how Aussie they are, in a non-tacky way!

002-WB-KOALA PINK

Printed onto fine fabric, the Wall Stamps have perforated edges for the authentic postage stamp effect.

003-WB-FOUR BIGS 1

They can be removed, repositioned and reused over and over. No need for wallpaper paste, nails or even 3M hooks! Ridiculously simple but with maximum impact.

005-wb-stamp application

The first (of many, we hope) collection features four nostalgic Australian wildlife designs from the 1930s. The engravings have been redrawn in crayon. All available in three different sizes from little ($45) through to jumbo ($245).

004-WB-EMU SCOOTER

Frankly, who wouldn’t want a giant pink koala stamp on their wall?! Definitely a great idea for expat relatives overseas too.

Transform your Facebook and Instagram snaps into unique and personal artworks

I’m arguably too obsessed with my pets, so when I got the opportunity to review PosterCandy, which takes your Facebook, Instagram and hard drive snaps and turns them into prints, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to create a montage of my cats and dog. I’m not crazy, I promise!

The final result is beautiful and with PosterCandy’s easy to use website, affordable pricing and poster sizes that are designed to fit frames readily available at IKEA (that’s where I got mine from) and photography and discount stores, it is the perfect low-cost option for creating unique, personal art.

Olivia’s creation

Coming in portrait, landscape or square sizes, you can create anything from a small poster with six images to a huge A0 size poster with up to 368 photos! PosterCandy also makes single prints, a perfect way to create a beautiful keepsake for a loved one far away or as an imaginative invite.

The website though, is what makes the experience so easy, with the application uploading your chosen images direct from your device or social media sites. The simple drag and drop system allows easy placement where you want, or you can jumble or randomise. You can even add text, crop images or save projects to return to at a later date.

Once you’ve finished your artwork, the PosterCandy team will take care of the rest, using the highest quality production materials and printing processes, before the poster is shipped  to your doorstep.

In this digital age, treasured photos more often than not never come off your device, and in fact before receiving this poster I can’t remember the last time I held my photos in my hands! But with prices starting from 65 cents for single image prints or $15 for a poster, PosterCandy is making the switch to hard copy easy.

Uplifting typography art from Barcelona

You know me, I love a bit of inspirational, feel good typography art.

Love what you do

This week I came across Barcelona-based graphic artist Coni Della Vedova on Etsy and loved her screenprints. Don’t you love that about Etsy? That you can tap into stuff from all over the world that everyone else doesn’t have already?

Pom pays tribute to second home Sydney with latest poster art series

Al Walsh’s first series of poster art, The Travels of Vivienne, recalled an era of advertising now long gone. The exhibition was heralded a success with press in Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and of course, Interiors Addict.

Fast forward to 2013 and we have Sydney, Al’s second poster art series. It elegantly captures iconic suburbs, paying tribute to the city that this Pom has called home for nearly a decade. “24 January is the 9-year anniversary of my relocation from London to Sydney. I wanted to create a collection that local people could relate to, as well as paying homage to the place as a way to say ‘thank you for having me’.”

And he nailed it. “I want people to look on their wall and see the elegance, the glamour and the seduction of Sydney,” says Al, “a little reminder of what a wonderful part of the world it really is.”

You can check out the exhibition from Thursday (24 January) at The Foxhole Small Bar, corner of Kent and Erskine Streets, Sydney. Luckily for us, Al’s works are ‘cheap and cheerful’ and at only $100 unframed or $250 framed, it’s artwork for the budget-conscious.

Good f**king design advice

I spotted this poster (framed) in one of Felix Forest’s interior photos I featured last week. A few of you asked me where it was from (obviously not easily offended!) so I tracked it down!
