Here at the gifted penguin we love a young and exciting company called More Than Words which produce the most amazing bespoke artwork using typographic images. The work they produce is of the highest fine art standard and is printed onto pure cotton canvas with a museum quality mount. We decided we would love them to produce a piece of art that would be unique to us at the gifted penguin. With the Olympics being just around the corner, the ongoing love of the Union Jack in interiors and a desire to celebrate all that Britain means to us in these challenging times we decided to commission a piece of work that reflected these thoughts. We brain stormed words that reflected all that’s British asking all sorts of people and the most popular answer we got was ‘the weather’! But many other favourites rolled in including cream teas, Big Ben, red buses, Marks & Spencers and many name places including Edinburgh, Cardiff, Stratford upon Avon and of course London. With our list of words we then asked Lisa Long at More Than Words to produce a unique piece of art for us. The canvas was produced using using UV archival pigment inks in the exact colours of the Union Jack and what we received is a stunning piece of art, All That’s British Union Jack Canvas.

This stunning piece of art can’t be bought anywhere else, so why not treat yourself to something that will bring interest and enjoyment to all who view it. Why not see if your favourite British icon is in there?!
