Pete McKee pays homage to the great outdoors with his latest collection of prints

The collection, which is available online and at the Sheffield-based McKee Gallery, features the artist’s instantly recognisable style in the form of tourism posters, wildlife and nature prints.

McKee has designed this year’s collection which celebrates the UK’s varied and natural beauty with limited edition prints, using traditional hand pulled screen printing techniques.

The tourism posters feature six national parks – Peak District, Snowdonia, Lake District, the Northumberland Coast, South Downs and the Cairngorms.

McKee, 54, has a worldwide following for his strong graphic, cartoon style, and his artistic style was influenced by reading comic books such as Whizzer and Chips, the Beano, the Dandy and Tintin growing up.

His work is typically humorous and largely relates to working class images, showing men in flat caps and women in head scarves, but always in a warm style, and he has created a number of murals across Sheffield, the most iconic being The Snog painted in 2013 on the side of Fagan’s pub in the city.

For several years he has produced work for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity and is also a patron of the Sheffield Children’s Hospital charity, Artfelt.
