Introducing Chase and Wonder!
added 17th December 2010
We're really happy to announce the arrival of Chase and Wonder at Keep Calm Gallery. Chase and Wonder are a brand new design partnership, consisting of David Aspinall and Faye Pearce. In October 2010 they left their design jobs in London and Philadelphia to be together once more and to follow their dream. They are based in a converted cow shed in rural England, where they create and produce all manner of wonderment. 
Chase and Wonder join us with three stunning limited edition screen prints.
'A Gentleman's A-Z' is a very fine print of all things gentlemanly. From Automobile to Zamburak, there are 26 detailed illustrations of things that any gentleman should have surrounding him.
'A Lady's A-Z' is a beautiful print of all things ladylike. This print consists of 26 detailed illustrations from Atomiser to Zinfandel that every lady should be familiar with.
Chase and Wonder's 'Ride above it' is an absolutely beautiful screen print that reminds us that it is best to ride above all of the strains of modern life. It is much more fun up in the clouds!
Each of these stunning screen prints has been signed and numbered in a limited edition of 200 prints.

added 2nd December 2010
If everyone else has a treat coming their way then why not you? Here are a few of our ideas of how you might indulge yourself.

These incredibly positive words have been laid out beautifully in Seb's distinctive style in this limited edition print. The fascinating Gunmetal Mirri paper changes colour and its shine depending on the angle you are viewing it from, and the lighting conditions.

'Tutti Frutti' by Hand & Eye. Inspired by the opening cry of Little Richard's rock & roll hit 'Tutti Frutti', the bright colours chosen are in reference to the fruity lyrics, and the immediate visual impact of the wood letter is as close as typography can get to Little Richard's yelp that begins the song.
