About Vividly Retro
Welcome to Vividly Retro - the home for everyone who loves the colour, character, and charm of 20th‑century art.
Here you’ll find retro‑style canvas prints and framed art inspired by the designs we all grew up with, back when the world felt a little simpler and a lot more fun.
My name is Russ. I spent the 80s and 90s working as a signwriter and theme artist, hand‑painting the kind of bold, expressive visuals that defined the era. Then technology arrived, everything went digital, and like many others, my craft was pushed aside.
Vividly Retro is my way of bringing that spirit back - recreating the retro art we loved in a world that now moves at lightning speed.
My mission is simple: To create artwork that reminds us of the good times here in the UK.
I specialise in vector artwork, which means every design can be scaled as large as you like without losing resolution. No pixelation, no muddy colours - just crisp, bold, vivid art exactly as it should be.
If you’ve ever had an idea for a piece you’d love on your wall - a cherished photo turned into artwork, a custom canvas, a framed print with your own text or design - you’re in the right place. You can send me your idea, and I’ll turn it into large‑format wall art made just for you.
This old‑school, personal design service is free for now, so you’ve got nothing to lose. I’ll do my very best to create the artwork you’ve always wanted.
Thanks for visiting. I look forward to hearing from you.
Russ
