🎨 Original Hand-Printed Art - From Gig Stalls to Your Wall

These aren't just prints - they're a part of the ElRat Designs story. Originally sold at £5 each on tour POS systems, because I wanted everyone to be able to afford to buy something, these hand-printed originals proved surprisingly popular despite being quite impractical gig purchases.

✨ What Makes These Special

• Hand screen-printed by the artist
• A4 size on premium 300gsm card with archival ink for lasting quality
• Screen-Printed on the back - information to show its authenticity, and in some cases handwritten titles (see pictures)
• Mix of Kristin Hersh merch, original ElRat drawings, and handwritten lyrics. lots more coming
• Incredible value at £15 - genuinely cheap for original hand-printed art, but I want to find a balance: get my art into the world, and help people access original art, at an affordable price
• Free untracked shipping - or upgrade to tracked shipping at cost

🎵 Featured Prints

"Snake Oil" was the gig stall bestseller, there were quite a lot of amused people reading "For all your reptile oiling needs" aloud. Which still makes me chuckle, The One Hersh was also rather amused by it. You can also get the "Ellen West, Mouth Demons" as a print, as well as a T-Shirt

The collection also includes a beautiful handwritten copy of Kristin Hersh's song "The Letter" - I can't believe she managed to fit it all on one A4 sheet, and wrote the whole thing with no mistakes. Beautifully illegible, genuinely a really lovely thing.

🖤 The ElRat Paradox

I am an artist who doesn't "love" visual art. I would never go to an art gallery, never look at an art book. I know nothing, of other artists or their work. Aphantasia means I have no visual memory, and its hard to love something you can't remember. I *LOVE* drawing, it calms my head like nothing else, and I do like the pictures I make, but I can look back, even just a couple of days in my sketchbook, and have absolutely no memory of the picture there. I only really make art for the love of making it. They are intense, and scrappy because they have to be, I can't come back to a picture because as soon as I turn away, I forget it exists. So when I start, I have to finish before I lose concentration. Because for me, drawing is the point, not the pictures. If other people like it, I consider that an honour.

🌱 The ElRat Experience

Every order ships in plastic-free packaging I usually have some extras hanging around - test prints & the like, I love to send you something a little extra in your package. I always want ElRat packages to be a little sliver of light in the chaos, I only send packages I would love to receive. All prints are supplied unframed.

Real art is love🖤
