Anchored

Here's a peek of something we've been experimenting with, which has ended up being heart shaped again (we promise to vary our prints in the future... honest.)

We're busy perfecting it, should be ready soon.

Sign of the times

Driving through Yorkshire at the weekend we passed a run down dis-used pub. The building was pretty much derelict, but the hand painted sign on the front of the pub was still in pristine condition. The gold and red lettering on old wooden panels stand's off as if it were painted yesterday, especially in the spring sunshine. Mine's a pint.

Cheers Melvin

'Reverie for Ranoforte' another much loved find that now adorns our walls. A perfect example of two colour print capturing a stunning coastal scene and combining it with beautiful typography - pretty much all of our favourite things in one song sheet. Cheers Melvin Lee (whoever you are).

Ahoy

Spotted our very own C-Front boat. We bought the picture, we're saving up for the real thing.

The Mansion

We came across this beautiful poster in an antique shop in Weardale and instantly fell in love with it. We are happy to say it now hangs proudly on the walls of the C-front studio. 

We can't be sure of the exact date of the poster but the footer states "Auctioneers' offices - Louth, Grimsby, and Brigg - 1/10/18". The typesetting, font use and bold black and red colouring all still look great today, with a beautiful handwritten checklist on the reverse of the poster adding additional intrigue and an added visual touch. We've never been to Louth, and are not sure if 'The Mansion' is still standing, but judging by the list of Contents that were for sale back in the day, it was/is glorious.

If your from the Louth area feel free to shed some light.

B-I-N-G-O

We were lucky enough to get ourselves a Hate Mail postcard from Mr Bingo last year (which was famously defaced by Royal Mail) but unfortunately we weren't able to make it to his Hate Mail Glug chat. We did however, force one of our good pals to give us this lush print.

You can watch Mr Bingo's talk here (its well worth a watch, it's funny and he does a rap)
