Armadillo Central

What better way to cheer up the dark winter months? Following our special pre-Christmas offer, which featured on our Facebook pages before the site launched, we've identified our very first bestseller.

While we were building the site, we were interviewed for the Royal Academy's blog about artist and author Juliet Kepes' work, which we hope to feature at a later date. Here's a link which was filmed during the RA's Eyewitness Exhibition, Summer 2011.

Royal Academy Blog: Story of a Cover Girl

Early in 2011, around the time we first started discussing selling Merlyn Chesterman's beautiful original woodcut prints, a major Japanese earthquake struck, followed by an even more devastating tsunami. The country was sent into turmoil and is still dealing with the aftermath.

The Armadillo Central team has scoured several lands to bring you original art and photography, much of it available for the first time. First credits must go to Jennifer Copley-May, who’s witty Armadillo Central logo design - and the banner across the top of our site - has helped sustain our humour and creativity in the months leading up to the launch.

After several months in development we’re proud to unveil our new site and our first collection of original books, ebooks, art and photography.

We set up a Facebook page some time ago and you can check pre-launch and development news there, as well as new postings - click on the links at the bottom of this page. Or follow us on Twitter.
