Anja Jane is a print designer based in East London.
Studying Fashion and Textile Design at Brighton University, where she specialised in Print, Anja’s love for pattern and design grew. She has worked for leading print studios in London and New York designing prints for fashion and home.
Anja’s wood-block type screenprints are inspired by her Norwegian and Polish heritage. Her charming imagery has been an instant hit at E17 Art House.
Walthamstow-based “A Two Pipe Problem” creates unique letterpress prints by hand-setting and printing using wooden and metal type fonts. The studio’s print work has been sold in The Tate Modern, and now also at the Design Museum, London.
E17 Art House is the only outlet in Walthamstow to stock A Two Pipe Problem’s wonderful letterpress prints, including William Morris quote hand-printed posters.
E17 Art House also takes commissions for personalised prints, to commemorate baby births, birthdays and weddings, which A Two Pipe Problem will print just for you. These make the most fantastic original gifts for an important event.
Carne was born in Liverpool and spent much of his childhood drawing.
He studied Illustration and moved to East London in 1997 where he undertook an apprenticeship as a gold wire embroidery designer producing elaborate hand drawn embroidery designs for a range of prestigious clients including HRH the Prince of Wales, Chanel, Burberry and many of London’s Savile Row tailors, as well as producing designs for film and theatre.
Carne creates most of his work in fountain pen, and experiments with inks as well as tea varieties to create organic, and chaotic layered images. Carne’s early influences include the animated work of the Brothers Quay, the drawings of Andre Masson, Paul Klee and Leonardo Da Vinci.
Catboy is an artist and illustrator based in East London, with a rapidly growing fan-base for his playful drawings and prints. Graduating in Illustration, he is fascinated by visual storytelling and make-believe, and inspired by his mischievous nephew, and fabulous feline muse “Harrison”, Catboy creates wondrous images, our favourite series being the boy with a cat shadow.
Deer.Wolf.Wolf. are a collaborative artist and printmaker team based at Print Club London. Their exquisite screenprints, often originating from Deer.Wolf.Wolf’s delicate papercut designs are so beautiful we had to have them for E17 Art House.
Past and current clients include the Wellcome Trust, Liberty of London, SHOWstudio.com, and the South Bank Centre.
Deer.Wolf.Wolf have been featured in publications including Vogue, Dazed and Confused, and Design Week.
Their book illustration projects also won places on three Observer and Independent on Sunday ‘Book of the Year’ annual shortlists.
Francis Long’s Ketchup print “Infinite Variety” is fast becoming a British classic. Featured on TV and in magazines such as “Company”, “Infinite Variety” is a play on Heinz’s “57 varieties” using ketchup bottles filled instead with paint in the three primary colours which when mixed, create an infinite variety of colours. First shown as an original sculpture in the E17 Art Trail, a print version was created, and now a super-size limited edition screenprint is available at E17 Art House priced £150.
Iain Hector is a London-based artist and graphic designer. His screenprints are often animal inspired – with a twist, like in his take on movie “Reservoir Dogs” for his screenprint “Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?” replacing Mr Blonde’s head with a dog’s, and replacing Robert Deniro’s head in an iconic scene from the movie “Taxi Driver”, with a rat’s.
Iain has also produced limited-edition “Perseverance Works” screenprints available in four fantastic colourways. “Perseverance Works” is a real location in Shoreditch, a creative hub for film, photography, design and other disciplines.
Jaime Derringer is a writer and artist living in New Jersey, USA. She is the editor of “Design Milk” a popular design blog, and is passionate about interior design, furniture, architecture and fashion – and she likes to rock! (Herman Miller style of course).
We are delighted to have Jane Foster’s fantastic screenprints at E17 Art House, Walthamstow.
Jane’s work is strongly inflenced by Scandinavian design. Her bold, happy prints in gorgeous colours, appeal to both adults and children. Her work has now been picked up on by Habitat and The Conran Shop, so we are very happy to have a large selection of Jane’s signed limited-edition prints available now at E17 Art House.
E17 Art House is excited to have Julia Rodriguez showing with us. Julia is a Spanish artist and printmaker based at Inky Cuttlefish Studios in Walthamstow, East London. Her work revolves around science and the mythology associated with human anatomy.
“Blood And Tears” is a new screenprint with a very limited-edition of 8 prints made.
Printmaker and painter Kirsten Schmidt, originally from Luebeck-Germany, has lived and worked in London since 1987.
Studying Art and Design at Camberwell College of Art, her love of metalwork and drawing led her to learn printmaking techniques such as copper etching and drypoint. She quickly found herself fascinated by other techniques like lithography, screen printing and woodblock/lino printing, and much of her work combines more than one in the same image.
Inspired by the simplicity of japanese woodblock prints she creates simple images on natural themes and symbolism.
As well as printmaking Kirsten also paints colourful, vibrant landscapes in acrylic and Oil inspired by painters such as Bragwyn and Gaugin.
Her work sells through galleries in London and to collectors worldwide.
Kozyndan are Los Angeles-based husband and wife illustrator team Kozue and Dan Kitchens.
One of Kozyndan’s best-known works is ‘Uprisings’, a play on Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” but with waves tipped with tumbling white bunnies. This has since become the summer image of Kozyndan’s “Seasons of the Bunny” series.
E17 Art House co-owner and long-time KnD fan Elaine was lucky enough to meet them recently at their first ever London solo show. Here’s hoping we can bring them back for a future show in Walthamstow.
You can pick up all four Bunny Seasons signed poster-prints at E17 Art House, unframed for £25.00 each.
East London designer Louche’s quirky typographic greetings cards, including hand-printed Letterpress cards have been a huge hit at E17 Art House. “You’re the Jam on My Toast” and “My Life Would Be Rubbish Without You” being Walthamstow’s favourites so far!
Luzelle’s wonderful screenprints are inspired by geometric and hand-drawn patterns, as well as African and Scandinavian design. She uses traditional silkscreen printing methods to create bold, colourful and fun pieces.
Luzelle has designed for clients including Marc Jacobs, and her work is now sold in Heals.
Michael Gregory graduated from St Martins in 2002 with a degree in Graphic Design. He was drawn to screenprinting as he loves the process of making pictures and the creative freedom that comes with this.
His risque “Soho Bananas” prints are hand screenprinted and drawn, making each a one-off. Inspired by Call-girl cards he collected near the Moving Picture Company in Soho where he works, they include invitations such as “Let me be your lunchtime treat”! “Soho Bananas” £49.00 each.
Michael produces incredibly vibrant, beautiful paintings, mainly acrylic on canvas; landscapes and abstract-landscape both invented and from life. Colour is always at the forefront of his work, which is inspired by sources including Epping Forest, biblical stories and architectural themes.
Richard Roberts is a Hackney-based artist who specialises in print-making, and is a member of East London Printmakers. Richard’s limited-edition prints available at E17 Art House include “Gone to the Dogs” Walthamstow Stadium screenprint £49.00 and “Picture Palace EMD Hoe Street” Photopolymer-etching and screenprint £175.00, a beautifully hand-printed image of the much loved Walthamstow EMD Cinema (currently awaiting news of its fate). Richard Roberts’ prints, framed by E17 Art House, are also on display at Waterstones bookshop in Selbourne Walk shopping mall, Walthamstow.
New to E17 Art House, we would like to welcome London artist Rosa Doyle. We have just added Rosa’s cheeky bird screenprints to our collection of affordable art prints.
Rosa Doyle is a Printmaker and Illustrator living and working in London. She graduated from Camberwell College of Art in 2009 and takes inspiration from nature and small happenings in everyday life.
An Illustrator in love with fineliner pens and colouring pencils, East London based Stacie Swift is making E17 Art House extra fun with her fabulous prints and greeting card range. We love her playful hand-drawn style. One to watch!
Sara Noble likes making things using bright vivid colours and different textures.
Based in North East London, having become obsessed with knitting and crochet, she now teaches these crafts in local libraries.
Screen printing developed as a way to show and share her sketchbook drawings- and Sara’s screenprints have proved to be very popular at E17 Art House.
Simon is a professional location photographer based in Walthamstow. Simon’s “Images of Walthamstow” print (£15.00) is a colourful montage of Walthamstow photos, great as a gift or souvenir of dear old E17.
