In a small round of research, out of the 600 people asked, about 78% of them regretted having at least one of their tattoos. Maybe it’s because 3 out of 4 didn’t really plan their chosen design until a few weeks prior. This means that it was a decision that wasn’t well-thought-out and when the excitement wore off, regret made an appearance.
This is one of the cornerstones of Wiinblad's posters. The legendary "Vanitas" poster displays a dressed-up lady accompanied by two orange birds. It appears she is quite satisfied with her looks - maybe it is because the latin word "vanitas" means "vanity" - though it can also be "vain". The poster is made as a serigraph which means the colors looks very vibrant and the quality of the print is very high. Several Danish vintage posters carries the title "Musik skal der til - Spil Selv" (There must be music - Play it yourself or Music is need/wanted - play music yourself). I believe the poster advertises a campaign along with exhibitions to encourage kids to play music in the 1950s and 1960s. As mentioned many posters has been produced in different years, with different motifs and by different artists (among them Espen H. and Otto Nielsen) which states that playing music is a quite important matter. The craft of Wiinblad is often colorful, lush and full of humor. He was inspired by the sumptuous oriental style far from the Nordic stylish line. This artwork is differently true to his special line. The views on his works are to this day very divided, but interest in his finer things are unrelenting - especially abroad (particularly the U.S., Japan, Germany and Norway). Bjørn Wiinblad's contemporaries were not exactly inclined to acknowledge his way to work, so his position as an artist has been a bit special. Globally, Bjørn Wiinblad is one of the very best selling Danish artists. He is (among other museums) represented at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. ------------------------------------------------------ Artist: Bjørn Wiinblad (Signed and dated in print by Wiinblad) Print: Silk screen poster Dimensions: 32.4 x 47.4 in (82.5 x 120.5 cm) Condition: Good condition - light handling signs, some tears of different length on the outlines and the left part is darkened a bit - please see pictures.

60s Jumper Black White Plaid | Matching Scarf | Drop Waist| Attached Scarf | Banberry Cross by Tina | Maybe Childrens | Modern Size 2 This vintage 1960s Plain Jumper dress is a GEM! Because the quality is so good, I assumed it was a modern piece in the 1960s style. However, the tag indicates a true 1960s piece. This is a very small item with a matching scarf! The Drop Waist with Pleated skirt gives the piece a schoolgirl and 1960s does 1920s vibe. The scarf is not attached, but places on the garment with straps to keep it in place. Cute red fringe for a pop of color. Very Twiggy. Very MOD School Girl London winter! Lining: Yes Label: “BANBERRY CROSS by Tina” (Lot 7-8) Fabric: I am guessing wool for the plaid, and polyester for the lining. Detail: Drop Waist, matching scarf, adorable buttons. Chest: 27-28” Waist: 28-29” Length (Shoulder to Hem): 34” Hips: 32-33” Sleeve: none Condition: Good overall condition. Some piling on wool. See photos for measurements and condition. Measurements are approximate. Feel free to contact me for more information. SORRY, NO REFUNDS. If you need a measurement or photo not provided above, please let me know.

Remember that junior high art class, when you cut pictures from magazines to glue together in a collage? The cutting, the pasting, and the result. Maybe it worked. Probably it didn’t. That’s because there’s (obviously) an art to collage. And London-based illustrator Haley Warnham does it well. “As a
NOT FOR SALE TO ILLINOIS RESIDENTS. The music fan in your life is gonna LOVE this. And because of that, you’re going to be COVERED. IN. GLORY. (or hey, maybe it’s you! That’s cool too). Okay: what if Pink Floyd's rock classic ‘Vera’, from the album 'The Wall' was a vintage hard cover historical non-fiction book in the classic style of something about the WWII London Blitz? Well, it might look something like this. The semiotician will tell you it’s an example of narrative congruence expressed through vertical intertextuality, but, really, it’s just great fun. These are offered in three different materials/styles: - poster alone - poster with frame - stretched canvas POSTERS All my posters are giclée fine-art prints on acid-free, museum-quality 170 gsm/65 lb paper, done by a printing house local to you, through Gelato. Glossy finish and more premium papers are available on request. The watermark is not printed on the final product. Please note that any paper-printed product will not exactly replicate the brightness of images on your back-lit computer screen. Five paper sizes are available: 8x12”, 12x16”, 16x20”, 18x24”, and 24x36". Note these are PAPER sizes, not images sizes! I'll scale the image to fit paper size with a white border to facilitate framing (vertical side borders will most likely be thicker than top and bottom horizontal borders, because most of these images are tall and slender). Images have some grain and pixelation – but that’s intentional. FRAMED POSTER Same poster as above, but sized in a frame, ready to hang. Similar sizes as the posters above: 8x12”, 12x16”, 16x20”, 16x24”, and 24x36". - Lightweight 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8") thick, black frame - Shatterproof, transparent plexiglass (not glass, glass!) - Includes hanging kit Please note: these framed posters do NOT come with separate, gallery-style matting. They'll LOOK matted, because of the borders I describe in the Poster section above, but not with a separate mat. It's the same style of framing you see in IKEA posters - if you want something more professional (and more expensive), then this is likely not it . . . but for a cost-effective frame solution, this is ideal. The framed prints come pre-packed with corners and film and then packed in a box with strong edges to protect the frames. I-beams are used in addition, to give the package additional sturdiness and for multi-item orders. Plexiglass used in frames may also carry a protective film which often has a blue hue to it. These protective films can be mistaken for scratches, bubbles, or a colored cast to a print/glass - so don't forget to remove them before hanging! STRETCHED CANVAS The same poster image you see here, but printed on canvas and stretched over a wood frame, so it's ready-to-hang as soon as it arrives. But please bear in mind: because these images are slim, I can't wrap them fully around the frame without distorting them or cutting off big chunks of the image at the top and bottom. So - these will arrive with BLACK margins on the left and right, and not wrapped around the frame. And yes, black, not white -- the listing pictures are in white, but the stretched canvas is black: I've tried it both ways and the black looks way, way better -- trust me. It's the same 5 frame sizes as the posters and the frames: 8x12”, 12x16”, 16x20”, 18x24”, and 24x36". - Canvas frames are made of FSC® certified wood. When not available PEFC or equivalent. - Wood frames are 4 cm (1.6") thick - Shipped in protective packaging and strong boxes to ensure no damage during transportation. - Mounting kit included

This is one of the cornerstones of Wiinblad's posters. The legendary "Vanitas" poster displays a dressed-up lady accompanied by two pink birds. It appears she is quite satisfied with her looks - maybe it is because the Latin word "vanitas" means "vanity" - though it can also be "vain". The poster is made as a serigraph (silk screen print) which means the colors looks very vibrant and the quality of the print is very high. It is a highly refined process that takes much longer than typical offset print. However, when the serigraph is finish you can touch the colors and textures on poster almost as if it was a painting. The craft of Wiinblad is often colorful, lush and full of humor. He was inspired by the sumptuous oriental style far from the Nordic stylish line. This artwork is differently true to his special line. The views on his works are to this day very divided, but interest in his finer things are unrelenting - especially abroad (particularly the U.S., Japan, Germany and Norway). Bjørn Wiinblad's contemporaries were not exactly inclined to acknowledge his way to work, so his position as an artist has been a bit special. Globally, Bjørn Wiinblad is one of the very best selling Danish artists. He is represented at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. I also have other versions of the poster available - look in the "Wiinblad section". ------------------------------------------------------ Artist: Bjørn Wiinblad (Signed and dated in print by Wiinblad) Print: Silk screen poster Dimensions: 33.4 x 43.5 in (85 x 110.5 cm) Condition: Fair condition - the poster has handling signs, tears on the edges and paper loss in the upper left corner - please see pictures.

This year more than any other has celebrated the great old city of London more than any other. The major criterion to earn a place on this list was to be born within a Borough of London. As a result many famous people who have been associated with the city due to their work or life (such as Churchill or Dickens) have not made it. There is also an eclectic mix of people from politicians to musicians to writers. This was to ensure that no area of interest monopolized the list. Such are the numerous contenders for a place in the top 10 - a second list may well follow…

Making friends as a kid is easy. You toddle over to someone about your size, introduce yourself, play a bit, maybe share something, and that’s it. You’re friends. Maybe it’ll last, maybe it wont. You don’t worry about any of that, because for now you have someone to share things and experiences with. You have […]
