01Collections

Four bodies of work, each with its own argument

A collection here is not a tag. It is a set of pieces made to sit together, with a shared palette, a shared format logic and a reason to exist.

03The material

Ink cured into metal, not sprayed onto cloth

A UV flatbed lays pigment directly onto a primed aluminium panel and cures it solid in the same pass. There is no canvas weave to soften an edge, no glass to reflect the room, and nothing to stretch, sag or yellow.

Flat and raised prints in cross-sectionTwo edge-on views of the same artwork. In the flat version the ink sits as a thin, even layer on the metal. In the raised version the ink is built up into a relief that stands off the surface, so light catches it from an angle.FlatOne pass. Smooth to the touch.RaisedBuilt up in layers. You can feel the artwork.EDGE, MAGNIFIED
Both finishes carry the same artwork. Raised changes how it behaves as you move past it.

06In the studio

File to doorstep, six stages

Nothing is warehoused. A piece does not exist until someone buys it, and then a specific person cuts, prints, checks and packs that specific panel.

09Before you buy

Straight answers

The questions that decide a purchase, answered without marketing. Where the answer is no, it says no.

Still unsure? Send a photo of the wall and we will tell you which size we would hang there.

What is the difference between flat and raised?

Flat is a straight UV print onto the metal — the surface is smooth. Raised builds the ink up in layers so parts of the artwork have real physical relief you can feel with a thumb. The practical difference is how the piece behaves as you move past it: a flat print looks the same from everywhere in the room, and a raised one catches the light differently from every angle.

What size are the prints?

Wall prints are 11" × 14". That is the one wall size we make, so there is no size decision to get wrong. One design, Mewtwo Line, is composed for a taller 10" × 18" panel instead.

What else can I get a design on?

A catalog design can go on a metal card, an acrylic magnet or a 99-piece puzzle as well as the wall print. Coasters and stickers are a different matter: our artwork is composed for an 11 by 14 panel, and shrunk to a 4-inch coaster or a 1-inch sticker there is nothing left of it. We make both, but from an image you send rather than from the catalog.

Can you print my own image?

Yes, on any of our items — metal print, card, magnet, puzzle, coaster or sticker. Send what you have and we will tell you honestly how it will look at size before you pay anything. A phone photo is usually fine for a sticker or a card and may not hold up on an 11 × 14 panel.

Do you make 3D models?

Yes. Tell us the character or figure you want and we will 3D print it and hand paint it for you. These are quoted per job rather than listed with a price, because the work involved varies enormously between a simple figure and something with a lot of paint detail.

How long until it arrives?

Production takes 3–7 days — nothing is warehoused, so it is made after you order. After that it depends on the carrier and where you are. We ship with whichever carrier is best for the parcel rather than paying a premium to one of them, so we would rather not quote a delivery window we cannot control. You get tracking when the parcel is scanned.

Can I return it?

Not for a change of mind. Every piece is made after you order it, so there is no shelf for it to go back to and a returned print cannot be resold. Buy deliberately, and ask us anything before you order rather than after — we would much rather answer a question than take money for something you are unsure about. If it turns up damaged, that is a different matter: send photographs and we will put it right.

Customer photographs

This is where installed pieces from real customers will go. There are none yet, and we are not going to stage them and pretend otherwise. Buy something, send us a photo of it on your wall, and we will put it here with your name on it.
