Vintage inspired artwork…with oh-so-witty twists

I love the collision of old and new….traditional with unconventional. That’s why I am a big fan of the Keep Calm dynamic duo’s excellent taste in prints and artwork. Here are my recent faves….

Make your guests turn twice with these vintage silhouette prints, which offer the ambiance and air of old-world sophistication, with a modern spin. Who would of thought that an Elizabethan lady would blow bubble gums, old-fashioned gentlemen would enjoy party whistles, and young chaps would wear spin-me hats? Keep Calm did!

Douglas Wilsons‘ seemingly rude, yet so inspirational messages, are printed via letterpress on vintage British maps, so each one is unique with that vintage character I love.
