Seagull with Chips Canvas Print

Somewhere between mid-century children’s book illustration and modern folk print, this seaside seagull refuses to behave. He’s got his eye on the chips and he’s not sorry about it.

Drop him into a kitchen or a hallway and the room loosens up. The soft blues calm everything down, the warm orange flowers and chip carton add just enough cheek, and the whole thing reads as relaxed rather than themed.

He works above a console, on a bit of free wall between cabinets, or in a downstairs loo where you want guests to smile. Eye-level is fine; slightly above is better.

Pairs well with painted timber, rattan baskets, linen tea towels, blue-and-white stoneware and brass hooks.

Don’t crowd him with serious coastal photography or anything too literal he wants to be the joke in the room. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
