Olympic Frenzy Captures Minds of EAST END ARTISTS!

Anthony Peters bold graphic art prints launched with EAST END PRINTS this week! With only a few months to go before the Olympics hit London, here at EAST END PRINTS we asked our artists and illustrators if they could create new graphic artwork based around this topical event. We were so excited by what we received, that we had no intention of waiting until July to release these to the world.

We asked Anthony Peters about his current series of Olympic works..

‘Feeling quite let down by the lack of crisp modernist graphics for the 2012 Olympics (Alan Clarke’s beautiful work asides), and irked by the abundance of ‘cute’ mascots ripe for merchandising and lucrative licensing I decided to indulge myself in making some classic ‘Swiss’ style faux Olympic posters.’

Our prints are high quality using archival inks and 310gsm German etching paper. You can choose framed or unframed in a choice of three sizes, including canvas. Available exclusively from EAST END PRINTS this week –you can own one of these gorgeous prints from as little as £25 + P&P.

To see more prints, read interviews with our artists and see what events we have coming up please see the website www.eastendprints.co.uk

See the complete Olympic range under the category of ‘SPORT’.

Exclusive interview with Wayne Hemingway on retro type prints

Why do you think the retro type work is important? We dont think of it as retro ..we think of it as iconic / classic type work that deserves an airing to new generations that weren’t around the first time .It’s also amazing what forgotten phrases and slogans can be dug up that are relevant today
Do you think the trend in ‘type’ will continue for much longer? as long as the design and execution is cool and keeps fresh then there will always be a place for it
Is it just a British thing? like many aspects of design we often appreciate things pretty quickly here in the UK ..but type face artworks have potential to excite anywhere
Do you think the masses are ready for this? some things will never cross over fully into the mass market “Keep calm and Carry On” is about as mass as things are going to get with type face / slogans but even that is harder for much of the market than say a painting of a coastline
What was the selection based on ?Positive message? Quite simply fonts and slogans in our LOLC collection that we would have on our walls …things that make us smile , feel good
Does it matter that these are anonymous works? thats part of the attraction of LOLC ..the Lost Content bit …. trying to imagine the though process , the original uses , how they were designed and artworked etc is fun…occasionally the original artworker opos up …that adds extra interest

Why do you feel people like words on their walls and not pictures? some people are more graphically minded , it also just looks cooler ..in the right place
Can you predict -or do yo
