ABOUT BAXCO
My name is Kevin Baxter, and I am the founder of BAXCO. I live in East London, and I'm a journalist and communications specialist with a love of art, aesthetics, and interiors.
While living in a succession of rented rooms and flats in the 1990s and 2000s, I spent countless hours trawling markets, galleries, museums, and later online, looking for interesting stuff to put on my walls. Stuff that was different, cool and affordable. I always seemed to face the same dilemma: much of the art on offer was too generic for my taste, while the stuff I liked always seemed to be either eye-wateringly expensive or of too poor quality.
So I started digging around for the weird and wonderful. I began finding art that I loved, or came across pieces I could restore myself, and slowly my collection grew.

In fact, one of the very first pieces to go on my wall was a restored old photograph of a heroin bottle. It was a conversation starter, and I used to say that I found it pretty wild that someone in the past had actually been tasked with designing a bottle for the complete poster boy of the global drugs trade. That crusty old black and white photo was the inspiration for me creating The Apothecary Cabinet, BAXCO's first original collection.
Everything I sell through BAXCO is something I would put on my own walls. A lot of it is already hanging around my flat and eventually I plan to have every print BAXCO sells on my own walls. I have a particular fondness for certain subjects and themes, which you will probably notice as you browse the collections.
I love the natural world, occult and mystical iconography, interesting maps, and unusual product design, all of which are reflected across BAXCO. I also love art that captures everyday life from the past. That's why I am particularly fond of The Floating World, a collection exploring life in 19th-century Japan. The prints are like beautiful little capsules offering the viewer a glimpse of a lost world. They provide a counterpoint to some of the more modern Japanese-themed art currently available, and are just gorgeous things to look at.
I also really love houseplants, and a lot of my personal art collection has been curated to complement my plant collection. Please check out the Curating Your Space, Your Way page if you would like some inspiration.
All BAXCO prints are produced using the highest-quality materials while still remaining relatively affordable. That balance is one of the cornerstones of this whole endeavour: affordable great art, beautifully printed. Proper Art | Printed Properly.
So, please take a look at my collections, and I hope you see something you love that you want to put on your wall.
