About
Thanks for visiting Art & Hue.
What started as a creative outlet separate to the day job has turned into a large collection of stylish pop art prints on various themes.
Whilst nailing a client’s design brief can be rewarding (designing award-winning websites & brand identities for companies of all sizes) or consulting with brands on their creative direction and forecasting can be stimulating, Art & Hue is my very own way of creating work that reflects my personal aesthetic and interests.
I’m drawn particularly to Mid-Century Modernism, stylish film & TV of the 1960s, and the retro print techniques used at the time.
I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Studiocanal, ITV, Renown Pictures, Rex Features/Shutterstock, Mary Evans Picture Library, and the estate of John Stephen, so far, and delving into their wonderful archives to create pop art collections including The Avengers, Audrey, Carry On, British Film Noir, Ealing Comedies, From Stage to Screen, Funny Men, Funny Women, Hammer Horror, Joan, Jackie, Joanna Lumley, Julie Christie, Saucy Seventies, School for Scoundrels, and The Wicker Man – to name a few – with more in the pipeline.
I’ve also had the privilege to install a gallery of pop art at the iconic Elstree Studios, display pop-up exhibitions at the BFI and the InterContinental Hotel, as well as meet Valerie Leon, Janette Scott, David Prowse, and Dame Diana Rigg (twice! once at the BFI and also at Elstree Studios).
Have a browse through the pop art prints and sign up to the mailing list for updates about new collections.
All the best,
Odysseas
Art & Hue
Made in Britain, Art & Hue creates stylish pop art inspired by various themes including the 1960s, cult film & TV, and Mid-Century Modernism.
Alongside studio collections, Art & Hue creates bespoke art from your photographs for personalised gifts. An ideal present to commemorate a birthday, wedding, house-warming, or milestone, Art & Hue can transform your preferred photos, including Instagram snaps, into stylish contemporary pop art.
Called Art & Hue because of the combination of imagery and colour, the fact it sounds like two names is a delightful coincidence. In some countries, “hue” is a shorthand for laughter so Art & Hue can be translated as Style & Fun, the aim of the pop art prints.
Stylish Pop Art
Images are given the Art & Hue halftone treatment before blocks of colour are applied. Halftone is an age-old technique that uses dots to make up the printed image, similar to newspapers or comic books – difficult to demonstrate on-screen but looks great printed.
As well as bespoke art prints, customised to the recipients specifications, there are “ready-to-buy” prints on many themes including royalty, London and food to name a few, available in various colours. All art prints are open edition unless otherwise specified as limited.

Designed & Printed in Britain.
Fine Art Paper & Inks
Unlike traditional posters, which are printed on thin paper with inks that will fade, Art & Hue creates unframed art prints on 310gsm museum-quality archival matte paper, made from 100% cotton, using fine art pigment inks for longevity. The lightly-textured paper is a thick card at 310gsm thickness.
A4 size prints are shipped flat in cardboard envelopes to protect artwork with the larger A3 & A2 sizes posted in sturdy tubes.
Environment
Art & Hue prints on 310gsm museum-quality archival matte paper, made from 100% cotton, using fine art pigment inks for longevity. The lightly-textured paper is more like card at 310gsm thickness.
Art & Hue creates fine art prints using archival matte card so we do not produce traditional posters which use inks that fade and we do not use thin gloss papers which have polyethylene coatings.
All art is printed to order so there is no excess stock or wastage.
All art is designed & printed in the Art & Hue studio in Britain, using paper which is made in Britain too, so less air miles compared to some other printers and paper manufacturers.
The 100% cotton paper is pH neutral and acid-free, and is also free of chlorine and lignin, which means it will not yellow over time.
The cotton used to make the paper is ethically sourced from renewable sources who are certified with the Forest Stewardship Council.
Greeting cards are also printed in Britain on carbon-captured papers from sustainable sources. The A6-size white cards are made from pH-neutral 300gsm stock, free of chlorine & heavy-metals, and FSC Certified.
Prints & cards are posted in recycled and recyclable cardboard envelopes and tubes.
To protect art prints in transit, the tubes use metal or white plastic end caps, depending on availability, which are also recyclable.
For deliveries, Art & Hue uses Royal Mail and all packages are taken to Royal Mail on foot.
The postman has to be the most eco-friendly means of transport – your local postie is already doing his rounds, on foot, and there are no additional vehicle journeys required for one-off drops that can occur with other couriers. International deliveries are sent via Royal Mail also so that the local postman in other countries can deliver.

Art & Hue have a wonderful selection of pop art prints covering a variety of genres. I have just ordered a second print, as the first was such good quality and provided very quickly and well packaged. The two prints will be framed and adorn my walls very soon.
Amazing service! The seller spent time getting the colours exactly as I had imagined and posted straight away. She was up on my wall in a couple of days! Had such a great experience that I immediately ordered another print, and again had a fantastic buying experience. Thank you!
