Banksy Exhibition.

So I decided to have a little road trip down to Bristol to see the new Banksy Exhibition. It was a long drive and I had to wait 4 hours in a queue to get in but it was all worth.well I thought so anyways. Plus its all good research for my dissertation too.Here's just a quick preview of the exhibition:

More Banksy....

Learn Something Everyday.

Came across this website that illustrates somethings everyday like a fun fact. These are some from august:

Inglourious.

I love this movie poster the only thing is I didn't get who it was by.I think its the limited use of colour and the layout of the illustration that makes it work so well.

Tea revives you.

'Tea Revives You', a hand-pulled screen print inspired by a fantastic 1930's advertising slogan.

The slogan from bygone days has been revived by Lucas and Hayley as a simple yet (we think) wonderful piece of typography. Printed using robin red ink on soft off-white 100% recycled paper.

Whether you drink tea or not this print is ideal for any kitchen!

• Hand pulled screen print
• Robin red ink
• Soft off-white 100% recycled paper

this is a lovely piece and i like the use of the tea cup as the counter in the 'A'

Home sweet Home.

This has to be one of the most interestingly printed editions which we've seen here at Keep Calm Gallery. Seb's wonderful typographic illustration has been screen printed by hand using white ink on mesmerizing Mirri paper!

Home Sweet Home, in Seb's words is "a timeless adage that I wanted to interpret in a stylish and modern way". We think he's done just that!

The fascinating Mirri paper changes colour depending on the angle you are viewing it from, and the lighting conditions. The effect is wonderful, you can see more angles and more colours by scrolling through the additional images above. Also click here to watch Seb's video showing the colours changing.

Brilliant use of stock!!!
