If you have been very nice this year then maybe you will be lucky enough to find one of these fabulous indie art gifts nestling in your stocking this year!
Under £100
Angelique Houtkamp is one of my favourite tattoo artists and should I ever be brave enough to take the plunge and commit ink to my skin I would like to think she would be the one to do it. In the meantime I will satisy myself with some of her artwork to grace my walls. I am particularly smitten with this Sailor's Sweetheart Giclee Print which costs £85 from the Nude Magazine shop, but to be honest I wouldn't be disappointed to receive any of her work.
Under £50
I am very partial to the work of The House of Navarone and in particular to his Dark Alphabet of Navarone series. I love the child-like quality of his work with its underlying sinister undertones and as I am slightly obsessed with mexican wrestlers I am going to pick the heart-wrenching K is for Knot print, which cost £49.36.

And finally, how about some illustration you can wear! I am a big fan of the work of Amy Walters and have always had a soft spot for her Red Beard and Quiff Brooch, which cost £5.59. That is a fella with a mighty impressive quiff!
Eee, I'm so pleased you mentioned Paul of Navarone! I love his stuff. Go on people, make an independent seller happy and buy some of his art.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara! Paul's stuff is wonderful isn't it. One day I hope to be able to have the full alphabet!!
ReplyDeleteI love Angelique Houtkamp! And the stuff she does with Nude is always such a bargain. I bought 3 small prints of pirate ladies as a present for myself through Nude last year, and it was only £75 for all three!
ReplyDeleteThe redbeard one is definitely conan o'brien and nothing can persuade me otherwise.
