Artists

The names on the wall.

Some of the best wall art ever made is out of copyright, which means we can print it properly and you do not pay a licence fee for it. Alongside those we work with living artists on limited collections. Either way it is printed here in Cape Town, to your wall, at any size.

Public domain

Old work, printed new.

Copyright runs out. When it does, a design belongs to everybody, and a Morris or an Overbeck can be printed at any size by anyone with a press good enough to do it justice. No licence, no royalty, no reproduction fee on your quote.

Living artists

Collaborations stay theirs.

Work by a living artist is printed by arrangement, in limited runs, and the copyright stays with them. If you would like a piece from one of those collections, or you have an artist of your own in mind, talk to us.
