Bring 1980s Los Angeles Street Energy Into Your Space
Rather like discovering a perfectly worn leather jacket in your grandmother's attic, this retro automotive art print captures something genuinely rather marvellous about the gritty, glorious chaos of 1980s SoCal. A sun-drenched vintage coupe sits defiantly against a graffiti-tagged concrete wall, framed by the iconic geometry of palm trees and that relentless Californian light. The word PRESSURE looms in bold red-orange lettering across a clear blue sky, a visual metaphor for the underground car modding scene and the creative tension that defined Los Angeles back then.
Why Choose Our Art Print
Captures Authentic Street Culture: Japanese katakana typography reading Auto Repairs Los Angeles blends vintage automotive aesthetics with international design influences, creating something properly handsome and altogether splendid.
Museum-Quality Materials: High-resolution archival-quality printing on matte finish paper means this piece won't fade or reflect annoyingly when you're trying to enjoy it. The aged texture of the concrete wall and the glint of vintage alloy wheels are rendered with rather impressive attention to detail.
Three Generous Sizes: Available in A3, A2, and A1 dimensions, so whether your creative space is a modest studio corner or an expansive garage, there's a size that fits just right.
Perfect for Car Enthusiasts and Design Lovers: This print speaks to anyone who appreciates JDM culture, retro-futuristic aesthetics, classic SoCal attitude, or simply wants walls that tell a story worth telling.

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.
