After leaving art school Bill Philpot pursued a long and highly successful career as a commercial artist working in London on many of the British advertising industry's major award winning campaigns for such companies as VW, Audi, Levis and Marlborough. Some examples of this work can be seen by visiting: http://www.billphilpot.com/advertising/
But now he has turned his attention back to subjects which he finds more challenging.
Bill has long been an admirer of the graphics and typography of that wonderfully creative period of the nineteen twenties and thirties, particularly the work of the great poster designers like A. M. Cassandre, Charles Loupot and Georges Hamel (Geo Ham) in Europe, Frank Newbould and Tom Purvis in England.
In the late nineteen eighties Bill was commissioned by Christies Auction House to produce a series of posters for sales of their classic cars in London and Monaco, including that of the Bugatti Royale which sold for a record figure of £5,500,000. These posters, based on the graphic styles of the Art Deco period, have since become classics in their own right and are currently selling for quite considerable sums on the internet.
Now working from his studio at home in Suffolk, England, Bill has returned to this genre and the posters you see on this site are the result of a new and very productive period of work for him, and we hope that you enjoy them.
NewVintagePosters is a newly formed father and son partnership, (see also http://www.paulphilpot.com) and we firmly believe that our beautifully crafted and finely reproduced posters will become classics of the future. It is our intention to continually expand our range of products and very soon we will be offering greetings cards and postcards from our exclusive designs. We will also, of course, be extending our range of poster designs on a regular basis.
Please contact us if you wish to be kept informed of our new and exciting developments.
