I do love this shop as it feels you've stepped back in time upon entering and sells some fabulous art. It's almost as if this could be put on a ye olde Victorian tour of Cardiff. You may be able to make out the paintings of the galaxy in the pic, I bought one of them. The detail on them are fantastic and is reasonably priced (Under £70), the person who served me as well was so lovely that the whole experience from entering to leaving with my fine painting was an absolute joy. Please visit this place, especially if your visiting Cardiff and want to get a real feel of the culture this city has to offer.

Gallery 66 is possibly my favourite shop in The Royal Arcade. Set up in 1975 by Eva Walters, the…read morebusiness has a firm footing in the customised interior design marketplace. Offering picture framing of varying qualities and style, ranging from conventional frames, canvass stretching to box frames, as well as original artwork and prints sourced from around the globe, signed limited edition prints, in addition to local artwork including commissions, if you are looking for something specifically tailored to your tastes. Gallery 66 is a progressive business that has definitely kept up with the times. These days it provides full-time employment for Dan, (Eva's son, who wasn't even born when the business was launched), an immensely talented artist who works in the medium of print, digitally reworking iconic images, embellishing the original concepts with intelligent and creative adaptations, ultimately creating new and original artwork. Music seems to be a key influence, with album covers and portraits of legendary artists providing much of the inspiration for his work. There's also a very definite interest in graffiti, particularly the work of Banksy. Nina, Eva's daughter is also often in the shop. She comes in to help out when she has time off from pursuing her career as a teaching assistant. Being a family business the service levels are second to none. Eva is a vivacious, smart business woman who really knows her stuff. If you have a space on your wall that needs filling, this is where you need to come!

I've spent many an hour ogling the huge Sex Pistols and Clash posters. So far my collection only consists of a cover from NME with the Specials on, but if you're looking for an unusual gift for someone special this is certainly unusual. The chap in the shop is really helpful and friendly, and the service we've received has always been great.

We all needed slide film to show our work and this was just about the only place in Cardiff to get it developed. Many moons ago I went for a job interview at Davies Colour and behind the modest front of house, complete with pot plant and light box, there was room after room of busy oompa loompas at work! This is a print machine that services schools, local businesses and professional photographers. Davies Colour offers both pro large format printing and your business basics such as flyers and posters. No I didn't take the job in the end - too many hours for my needs at the time. But I've been back to print slide film for an album cover and I was as ever very happy with the results. This business has been going for 20 years and is a well respected Cardiff staple. Highly recommended.

If you can't stop by the store, Davies Colour also offer an FTP service, where you can upload your images, ensuring a faster turnaround time. Be aware the prices aren't Asda Photo Centre cheap, but I find with processes like this, you often get what you pay for. My series of six black and white photos looked spectacular, and I'd definitely come back here if I need any specialty printing carried out.
