By day he designs bicycles at Avanti, by night he gets out the screens and makes prints.

This time it was with Indigo Michael on their Z-Tshirt. This is your chance to get hold of a unique t-shirt that comes with a hand drawn hang tag by Eric.

Straight from the Bronx his style is not like anything you see here. After catching up with him over the last few years each time he visited we thought it was about time we got him to put together a limited edition tee and artwork just for the endemicworld.com fans. Enjoy.

This is a limited edition of 100, every t-shirt comes with an original hand drawn hang tag.

Today the 326 design collective have come to the party with their first print “Milk & Money”.

Influenced by the riches of Aotearoa’s white gold, this is a high quality digital print on fancy textured art stock. Each one is signed and numbered, it’s a limited edition of just 50. Looks cool in kitchens and on cafe walls. The blue has a real milky feel to it, a colour that took some testing and tweaking to get just right.

A well-presented working of the classic kiwi slang… Walter Hansen wondered ‘what if this crass proclamation was actually a heartfelt rumination on one’s true love?’

Letterpressed on black Somerset art paper. Signed and numbered. Limited Edition of 30. $95.

Both of these limited edition beauties mash Joseph Churchward typefaces with English and Maori bird names. This is a heads up that there are less than 20 of each print left! So if your planning on getting one for a Christmas gift then don’t wait too long, they might be all gone soon.  View all of Walter Hansens Art Prints.

Someone should up this until we have leather couches in every NZ city. Gold trim anyone? Apologies for the shitty image, we only had a battling old Niokia on us at the time.
