The Wilky Way

A friend recently pointed me in the direction of the Rockett St George interiors site. Everything on this site is so beautiful, I want it all. Unfortunately, have just had my living room flooring sanded, stained and varnished, my interiors fund is entirely wiped out.

However, as soon as I have some money to spare I’ll be heading straight to this fantastic online store and emptying it out.

In the meantime I’ll content myself with wistfully staring at all the wondrous delights it has to offer, like the Jeeves and Wooster top hat pendant lights or some of these gorgeous wall stickers and art prints.

I was lucky enough to be able to interview Brighton-based artist, Imbue, at the end of last year for a feature I was putting together. He manages to very cleverly subvert messages and images through graffiti, stickers and prints and I’ve become a big fan of his work.

A lot of street art I’ve been lucky enough to see in Brighton has really impressed me, it’s a genre of art and design that tends to strikes a chord and forces people to notice what’s around them. Imbue manages to transfer the same sort of style into screen-printed images that can look great in the home.

In fact, I’ve already got my eye on this rather sexy new print he’s putting together – the one pictured is layered on steel:

And are some of my faves from his past work – I particularly like his manipulation of the WKD poster, it was hard hitting enough that WKD themselves sent Imbue a letter asking him to revoke his prints – what a cheeky scamp that Imbue is…
