Closing the Dropbear Emporium

I’m shutting this down

I’ve decided to shut down the Dropbear Emporium.

It started as a place to house my illustrations of retro tech; old consoles, cameras, weird bits of nostalgic hardware, but I haven’t been able to give it the attention it deserves.

So I’m closing it.

Before I do, I wanted to give you a heads up.

This is the final run of prints, once they’re gone, that’s it. Some of these won’t be reprinted again.

If you’ve ever thought about grabbing one, now’s the time.

I’ll be closing the shop on 18th April.

Thanks for being here.
