RETRO LEICESTER CITY

Here is my retro tribute to the Premier League Champions LEICESTER CITY ...



The fantastic Foxes are having the time of their lives this year, the unbelievable run to the title and the prospect of Champions League football.

But if you fancy delving into the history of this amazing club or indeed are a long-standing fan, take a look at this collage.

Its absolutely packed with Leicester legends and memorabilia!!

Leading the way is 70s maverick FRANK WORTHINGTON, who many argue enjoyed his best days at Filbert Street. Close by is the one and only ALAN BIRCHENALL, who has valiantly served the club for so many years and richly deserves to be part of their recent success.




Others who make an appearance are of course GARY LINEKER, who began it all at Leicester, the famous tight-wearing KEITH WELLER, and stalwart defenders STEVE WHITWORTH and DENNIS ROFE.









Two of England's best ever goalkeepers plied their trade down at Leicester, World Cup winning GORDON BANKS and European Cup lifter PETER SHILTON, and they both feature here.






There is also a whole host of other bits, including programmes, team groups, badges, Panini stickers, and trade cards.








So while Claudio's Blue and White Army are still rampaging in the Premier League, remember the legends who have served the club so well.


This LEICESTER CITY tribute is part of a growing collection of RETRO FOOTBALL collages I've completed.

Other teams on the list are:
ARSENAL
CHARLTON ATHLETIC
CHELSEA
CRYSTAL PALACE
EVERTON
LIVERPOOL
MANCHESTER CITY
MANCHESTER UNITED
NEWCASTLE UNITED
QUEENS PARK RANGERS
SOUTHEND UNITED
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
WEST HAM UNITED

BACK IN BLIGHTY!

Back in good old Blighty after our sojourn across the Channel to France!

Had a magnifique time after a marathon trip on the Eurostar to Lyon and beyond!

Of course we did a bit of vintiquing over there, as we look to extend the ArtPix Empire.
Our secret agents in France found us some amazing brocante fairs, which it looks like the Brits have yet to discover, so they'll remain our little secret!!! Although bribes are accepted of course!

Next year we'll drive the biggest van we can find and bring back some of the most original pieces I've ever seen.

For now here are a few French scenes for you...


A bee enjoying the incredibly hot sunshine.

Amazing old huts up in the hills.

I do j'adore a good French door!

Big butterfly catching some rays.

Lovely old empty shops everywhere, this one has gorgeous Art Deco typography.

Empty but still enigmatic!

I'm now working on preparations for a very special event in London coming soon, stay tuned for more news....

AU REVOIR !

The combined forces of Matt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing are off for a week's sojourn to France!


But RESTEZ CALME AND CONTINUEZ as our unit at The Customs House has been stocked up with plenty of goodies to keep you entertained for a while!

Hurry up though, as sales have been very brisk recently, some of the stuff I put in there at the weekend has already been sold!

When I get back from France I'll be carrying on all things ArtPix. Finishing of my Retro Football collage of Leicester City and have tonnes of new ideas and new vintage items to show you.

Also, I'll be appearing at a very special event at Shoreditch in September. So keep tuned here for more news!
