For Sale: Posters - Tour de France 2012 Commemorative

I thought perhaps some of you fine folk might be interested in these commemorative Tour de France 2012 posters.

These were created (by me and a designer friend) at the back end of last year, but we've only just printed them after some interest online.

So here you have a limited edition of 99 typographic posters celebrating the winners of the yellow jersey, green jersey and polka dot jersey.

50% of monies from this sale will be going towards the Bristol Bike Project.

Even if you don't wanna buy, I hope you like what you see.

Visual tease.

Great stuff!!

Thanks! Only problem is, need to do something better for the centenary ;)

(And then Yorkshire 2014!)

A bump - And just to say thanks for the folks who've purchased already from this site.

The first batch of the 99 will be en route tomorrow, so hopefully you'll have them by the weekend.

Cheers.

Received mine yesterday, they are lovely! Really nice choice of colours, and beautifully packaged. Would recommend!

(Bump!)

I love the Peter Sagen quote: "My teammates told me I should win, so I did"

Glad you like 'em Branwen, thanks for the recommend :)

Regards the quotes. They were supposed to reflect each riders' own achievement and events from the 2012 race.

Wiggins was easy. He is a goldmine for quotes. On Stage 7 he came out with "It's never too early to take the Yellow jersey." Grand. And the line that breaks through his name in the print, is the stage profile from Stage7. All works perfectly.

Voeckler was easy too. You can always count a Frenchman for a bit of romance. "Today I did what many dream of doing, leading everyone over all four summits." On the day he took the KoM jersey. So again, fits perfectly.

Sagan though. He made it hard for us. He doesn't say much! There were dozens and dozens of awesome quotes about him (eg - He's not a Slovak, he's a Fastvak .. or Sagan is Jedi) but virtually none from himself.

The quote we went with was part of a longer quote that related to his joke celebrations. In particular the one where he did a running impression. The full quote was this:

"I'm like Forrest Gump. When they told him to run, he ran. Today, my team mates told me to win, and I won."

But it was too long for the posters.

But still, it does rather some up his prowess nicely I think.

Thanks again for your interest anyway,

Received mine yesterday. Love it.

Excellent quality and well mounted.

Thanks!!

Sweet - glad you like it!

Getting close to 1/3 of them sold now, which is alright with just minor promotion on here and twitter.

Mine arrived on thursday. Absolutely brilliant. Have a bump.

Just to say I got given a set of these for my birthday and love them! they are going to be hung next to Stellas jersey prints (https://www.lfgss.com/thread103336.html)

You will have to repeat for this years winners now, so I can continue to fill my wall!

Thanks Domo32 and Sam_w

Really happy that you like them. It's pretty cool that there's cycling enthusiasts out there who want to hang our work on their walls :)

We'll certainly be trying to do something for the 100th Tour this year.

For anyone else interested we've still got Wiggins, Voeckler and Sagan posters available from this limited edition of 99 posters.

Still got about half of this limited edition set available if anyone is interested in some lovely prints.

Also, we've been invited to participate in Artcrank Manchester in July, off the back of these. Which is nice.

Just giving the thread a little bump to say the posters are really nice, and for a very good cause!
