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.

The Titanic Transformer

I'm from Northern Ireland, where we have gone a little bit Titanic crazy to celebrate?! 100 years since the sinking of the mighty ship.

Everything that can be Titanic themed, has been Titanic themed in honour, for the money spinning aspect.

I thought local crisp brand Tayto's Titanic crisps were bad, but then @chilloutweed Tweeted me the Titanic Transformer.
