The new "Keep Calm and Carry On"

Yes, everyone's sick to death of the ubiquitous "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters sprouting up all over Etsy.com like mushrooms after a rain storm. Just as KCaCO replaced "FOR LIKE EVER", a new cheeky text-heavy poster available in multiple colorways shall eventually win the to-the-death cage-match of cutesy poster supremacy. My vote's for one of these, from two Canadian dudes known as Whigby:







Each combines a famous quote (from Sigmund Freud, George Orwell, and Frank Lloyd Wright, respectively) and silhouette on a 19.5" x 26.5" silkscreen.

Also available from Velocity art and design and probably a lot of other sites I'm not familiar with.

Art for the masses

Just found ViewVille.com through one of my Hansel-and-Gretel-esque compulsive link-following expeditions.

Some favorites:

Color 14 by Paul Nelson



Daydream by Wendy Cooper



Chair by Bootsy Holler



Shake by Bob McNamara



I can't vouch for the quality of the prints, never having ordered from them, but with prices starting around $65 for an 8x10 print, it's worth the risk to have something fairly unique.
