New Tattoo Inspired Illustrations Available

Hello Everyone!

Following a lot of research and drawing I am now pleased to announce that a selection of original illustrations have gone onto my Etsy store here http://www.etsy.com/shop/HoldFastCoBrighton. All the illustrations that you can find there are inspired by current and traditional tattoo flash designs.


Each design is hand drawn to order (not a print!) using techniques commonly used on tattoo flash sheets. Lovingly drawn on a high quality paper these traditional flash illustrations would look brilliant in a contemporary home with clean crisp walls or in a traditionally styled household.
 

My illustrations will come unframed in a protective wallet but ,as they are all A4 in size, it will be straightforward to get them mounted in a frame size of your choice. Alternatively we can source a frame for your print if you wish. Just let us know!

All images can be stained for that traditional, tattoo shop look or left white if that is what you would prefer. Just let me know and I will cater for your needs!

I hope you like what you see but if you have a particular design that you like then please get in touch via holdfastco@hotmail.co.uk. I'm constantly working on and searching for new designs and believe me, there's a lot to get through!
 

Look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
Hold Fast Co.

 

 

Vintage Bedroom/Nursing Chair

Here for sale is a fully restored Bedroom/Nursing chair that has real age. Probably made around the 1930s/1940s this Oak chair is solid and in great condition for its age.

The first thing you notice about the chair, other than its dinky proportions, is the unusual snowflake style back support. This is superbly crafted and is a sign of the level of craftsmanship that went into the making of the chair. A shape like this would be time consuming to make today with modern electric tools, imagine what it was like to cut with hand tools!

The frame of the chair has a lovely bent one piece back and armrest. There has been a repair made to this (as can be seen in the pictures) however this has in no way affected the strength or support offered. There are a number of subtle features on the chair that reinforce the fact that this was more than a generic mass produced item. The lines are very stylish and very functional.
With a new reupholstered seat sponge, using a blue Gingham flannel cloth, this chair has lots of style and really stands out in a room.

The chair was probably made to be a nursing chair and would’ve been kept next to a baby’s cot, giving it a history that goes deeper than just its age. You could still use the chair in this way or in any other room in the house for that matter! It is incredibly comfy!

Whether being put in a modern apartment or a vintage cottage, this chair will fit in and be a fully functioning and much loved item of furniture.
