Vintage Ulster Travel Posters That Aren't So Vintage...

/

I adore the work of Norman Wilkinson, the classic British and Irish travel poster designer. I have two poster size prints of his work in the house, a Portrush Golf one, and a Bangor one (my home town). If you want to find a great selection of them online you'd want to click on to Travel Posters Online.

Whilst shopping today in Ards, I spotted a mini-art show in the mall. I was very excited about the pieces, which are in Norman Wilkinson's style, but these are by James S. Kelly a local artist creating stunning, simple but beautiful.

I want some!  Which to buy first? I can imagine these looking very smart in an independent coffee shop.

Madame Cocoa's Gingerbread Scale Model of Belfast City Hall

/

Madame Cocoa (Alex Begley) undertook the mammoth but delicious task of creating this to scale model of Belfast City Hall. The project is in honour of her small business which is going from strength to strength alongside her fellow, local business buddy's Matthew who started up Campaign Social.

Unreal detail!
