June has finally arrived and hopefully bringing with it our summer……..grey clouds looming over head! 🙁 Well it’s not all about the nice weather this month. It’s also time to celebrate that special guy in our lives……Good old Dad!
Father’s Day is Sunday 21st June this year and we’re sure you’ve put him through the ringer over the years. Why not get him something to show just how much of a dude you think he really is, and that you can sometimes be prepared! (not that we’d leave it until the last minute and frantically buy him a tacky card and some engine oil from the local garage! 😉 )
This week’s #fridayfavourites is a round up of a few suggestions that might put a smile on his face this father’s day.
The classic movie The Big Lebowski is sure to be a big hit with many dad’s out there. If yours is one of them, why not treat him to this rather cool Limited Edition Screen Print by Barry D Bulsara. Barry has a range of pop culture inspired screen prints; we’re sure there will be something for dad. Barry will be our next Artist Feature. You can read all about him and his work on Sunday 14th June on the blog.
The perfect gift for your little guy to give his superhero Dad! BatDad from The Grey Earl. This is part of his Bat Boy collection of prints we have in the gallery. You can’t have missed his super popular window installation Stars Are Braw. Featuring all your favourite Star Wars Characters and fun Scottish Dialect. This guy would also be a great Father’s day gift!
May the 4th may be a distant memory now but many of you are still Star Wars crazy. Why not treat your Star Wars fanatic Dad to this rather cool Limited Edition Collection of Screen Printed Wooden Star Wars Stamps by Graham Carter. They would look great hung as a collection on the wall and would make a pretty special gift.
If your dad is a bit of a dapper gent then our Chase and Wonder goodies might be just the ticket! These washbags would make the perfect gift stocked up with some of his favourite essentials, maybe he’s lucky to still have a full head of hair like this Dandy Lion!
If like many dad’s, yours is revelling in the rise of Craft Beer then this little selection from Stuart Gardiner is sure to please. How Beer Is Made Coasters and Teatowels would make the perfect collection for Beer Mad Dad. Wrap in some choice brews from your local brewshop (Edinburgh based? Beerhive has an amazing selection) and we’re sure Dad will remember next time you call for a ‘favour’ 😉
We’re also thrilled to have a full collection of prints back in the gallery from the lovely Lindstrom Effect. Their rocket prints come in a two designs so make the perfect gift for Dad. They also have a pretty cool selection of colourful Beetles too!
Don’t forget about good old Dad this year and plan ahead. We’ve got something for all Dad’s out there.
Happy Weekend!
