On sale now is the first Vice Press release by artist Arno Kiss, who has created a new and exclusive, officially licensed Wallace and Gromit art print.

Arno’s print joins a growing Wallace and Gromit range at Vice Press that includes terrific prints by George Bletsis and Florey.

Arno Kiss is an illustrator and graphic designer from Antwerp, Belgium. After graduating as a graphic designer, he found it to be utterly boring and decided to focus on illustration.

Initially working for sketchy raves and nightclubs, he began fine-tuning his work, becoming a one-man creative studio.

With clients that include both film and games companies, he’s definitely made a mark on the gig poster and collectible art print scene.

“We have been looking to work with Arno Kiss for a while,” say the Vice Press team, “and think that his vibrant art style has really brought a unique perspective to the classic duo!”

• Wallace and Gromit by Arno Kiss – offered at 50cm x 70cm size – is now on sale here at Vice Press – limited time just 150 copies
