The Inspiration:

This compelling mixed-media collage is directly inspired by the bold aesthetics and classic typography of retro themed postcards from the 1960s and 70s. The artist sought a method to combine the technical challenge of integrating intricate collage elements with bold typography, resulting in a unique visual aesthetic that is both challenging to create and screenprint. With this collection, that rewarding process has finally been achieved.

The City:

This piece re-imagines the classic "Greetings from..." vintage postcard, serving as a vibrant and textured homage to the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. It anchors its composition on the large, block-lettered "NEWCASTLE" title, where each segment opens into a different facet of the city's unique identity; these visual windows expertly merge the city's iconic bridges spanning the Tyne, the majestic architecture of Grey's Monument and the Quayside, with glimpses of its vibrant urban life. Framed by rolling green landscapes and a textured foreground suggesting the city's parks and surrounding areas, all rendered in a sophisticated palette of distressed textures and faded colours, capturing Newcastle's industrial past, modern dynamism, and profoundly inviting Geordie spirit, perfectly summarised by the regional phrase "Nowt beats the Toon!".

Perfect for:

Anyone who loves Newcastle's architecture, its proud regional identity, or its stunning location on the River Tyne. Ideal for spaces that appreciate technically complex printmaking and bold, nostalgia-driven graphic design.
