Take back control

Post by rawsco » Thu Dec 13, 2018 2:51 pm

OK Miniblonde is taking over and filling the new gaff with non-man stuff... any suggestions on subtle car related art to hang on the walls before all hope is lost.

I started collecting original prints of Monaco Grand Prix posters, which adorn our hall. After starting with some nice ones from the ‘60s, I have been allowed to develop the collection without complaint. There are also some great old film posters around - check out Drivepast.com....

I’ve got some prints from https://www.remove-before.com/ and have been allowed to hang them in the kids play room and kitchen without (too much) complaint.
I particularly like the trilogy collection. :thumbsup

I've got the silhouette of the Nurburgring on the wall above the stairs in my house which has so far managed to escape the "womans touch"

got it from: https://linearedge.com/ they have some quite nice options.

Also saw these guys at the NEC Classic show and quite liked the simple look of their prints:

Forgot about those- I got one of those prints for Kenny a few years back.

Nice if you want something personalised 👍🏼

You reminded me to put some prints up for sale that I purchased ages ago at an art fair. If you have a look in the classifieds you will see them:
