Product Details
MADE TO ORDER
All our products are created individually when you order them, using a variety of professional production partners. Because each piece is made one by one, small variations in color or placement are normal—and, to our way of thinking, part of the charm of having artwork produced just for you.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY
✦ Free shipping.
✦ Combined production and shipping times are currently averaging 5 - 10 days.
✦ All art prints are produced and shipped from your region: no tariffs, no delays with international shipping—and it's better for both the environment and your local economy.
✦ Because all our prints — even the smaller 8"×10" ones — are rolled for safe shipping, they may look compact when you first open the mailer. This is completely normal. Once unrolled, the print will relax and flatten within a day or so, ready to look its best in a frame or however you choose to display it.
✦ Check out our FAQ/Help section for a video of what it's like to receive a smaller print in the mail and pop it into a frame.
