"Feel the Pressure" Retro Auto Culture Art Print – Urban Los Angeles 1985 Edition
Bring the heat of 1980s Southern California to your walls with this striking retro-inspired automotive art print, titled “Feel the Pressure.” Featuring a sun-drenched vintage coupe parked against a graffiti-tagged concrete wall and barbed wire fence, this piece is a nostalgic tribute to the gritty auto repair culture of Los Angeles in 1985. With bold typography and Japanese katakana translating to “Auto Repairs – Los Angeles” (都市文化ロサンゼルス), this print effortlessly blends vintage car culture, street aesthetics, and international design influences.
The vivid orange vehicle is framed perfectly under the Californian sun, with towering palm trees casting iconic LA shadows over the urban backdrop. The massive word "PRESSURE" looms in bold red-orange block lettering, contrasting sharply with the clear blue sky — a visual metaphor for the era’s intense street energy, underground car modding scene, and the creative tension pulsing through the city's back alleys and body shops.
Whether you're a fan of vintage cars, Japanese street style, or retro-futuristic aesthetics, this print delivers. It's ideal for decorating your garage, studio, office, or creative space with a touch of classic SoCal attitude. The attention to detail – from the aged texture of the wall to the glint of the vintage alloy wheels – creates a mood that’s at once nostalgic and timeless.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
