This collection captures the story of ‘The Giants’, as they’re popularly known, who arrived in Liverpool on the weekend of 20-22 April 2012. The spectacular three-day event commemorated 100 years since the sinking of the Titanic, which carried the name of its home port, Liverpool, on its hull, with a unique, human perspective on the tragedy.
The creations of French street theatre pioneers Royal de Luxe, estimated crowds of 250,000 turned into more than 800,000 as the two giants – and Xolo the dog – captured the public imagination with their cheeky, expressive and poignant adventures around Liverpool.
The story is based on the real life tale of ten-year-old May McMurray, whose father William was a first class bedroom steward on board the Titanic. May wrote a letter to her father, which didn’t arrive until after the ill-fated ship had sailed – it was returned to the sender, and is now on display in the Merseyside Maritime Museum at the Albert Dock, where it proved inspiration for Royal de Luxe artistic director Jean-Luc Courcoult.

POTO Studios are proud to present local artist, Helen Lunt. Helen is quite a prolific painter and her work varies from character based pieces to very colourful abstract canvases. She enjoys painting as a means to express herself within boundaries of her own creation, without having the need to explain away exactly how to interpret her work leaving that to the imagination and personal meaning creation of the viewer. Helen also sees her work as 'bookmarks' for periods in her life.
Helen's influences are Dali for his unique imagination, Klimt for the beauty of his work, and Escher for the sheer fascination generated for Helen by his work.
Ilan Sheady is Creative Director for Uncle Frank Productions.
Uncle Frank Productions is a film and creative resource studio that specialises in the horror genre. First and foremost UFP consist of long-time devoted fans of horror, and they certainly don't consider horror as a lesser art form or genre. They believe that horror has the most passionate and enthusiastic fan base, and Ilan is testament to this.
The collections featured here were born out of Ilan posting some of his dark themed 'scribbles' on Facebook. The drawings were met with a fantastic reception, and many horror fans were asking if they could get hold of these in published form. After a fairly brief conversation with Ilan, POTO Studios were glad to partner with him, and here we have both of his collections - Senti-mental Valentines and Mother's Day - printed and mounted to the usual, high-quality, yet affordable POTO standard.
The collections are currently featured by esteemed online horror review website HorrorTalk.
Why not surprise your loved with with something a little different!? Enjoy!
