Burlesque of North America are selling this poster in their store, designed by Mike Davis. According to the description, it was inspired by the patches on Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler's shirts during performances. I'm really a fan of both Arcade Fire and the idea of merit badges, so this really drew me in.

I would be happy to own many (or any) of the wonderful items sold on the lovely Present&Correct but WOW, yes, this print would be very welcome on my wall indeed!

An original print from the mid 60s, this striking transport poster makes fine use of limited colour and bold lines. The space in the centre of the poster is where travel details would have been written.

My attention was brought to these amazing posters last week - sealed away in Notting Hill tube station in London, they have not been seen since the 1950s. It's a great time capsule, preserving the mid-century designs in great condition.

Brian Kerr has a great post on his blog about the London Underground map and imagery associated with it. I'm particularly fond of David Booth's 1986 poster for the Tate, which shows the map drawn with paint squeezed from tubes.

I like this design by Keith Davis Young, also available as an awesome-looking screenprint.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I discovered that Stasys Eidrigevicius had launched his own website. Happy day!

Born in Lithuania and based in Poland, his poster art is legendary, combining an incredible skill and wit. It is so exciting for me to see his images of his work in other areas, including performance, sculpture and masks. Visit his site today and be inspired.

This Saul Bass poster for a film festival in 1974? Oh, it's just made of awesome, that's all.

I'm well aware that summer was a while ago now but this poster for The Partners'  summer party is super smart. It is also quite the accurate reflection of the British weather for most of the year, regardless of season.
