  • What size is the print?
    Print sizes vary based on image. We provide a close/approximate size estimate (in inches). We suggest to wait to purchase a frame/mat until you receive the print and can confirm sizing with the frame.

    Yes, in some cases it is possible to order a larger size of the print. This would be a custom order. We will need to know the print name and dimensions. Please contact us to discuss.
