Before Nick Cave became an elder statesman, goth troubadour, novelist, and surprisingly wise and compassionate advice columnist, he was l’enfant terrible of Australia’s burgeoning post-punk scene, first with The Boys Next Door, then with The Birthday Party, a band characterized by madness and excess like few others. “What made The Birthday Party so important,” writes … Continue reading "When Nick Cave Led The Birthday Party, Once Called a “One Band War” and “The Most Violent Band in Britain”"

"Rosalie's Tree," by Virginia Frances Sterrett (1920) DIMENSIONS • 9" x 12" (Image: 7.5" x 10") • 12" x 16" (Image: 10" x 13.31") • 16" x 20" (Image: 12.75" x 17") • 20" x 24" (Image: 15" x 20") • 24" x 30" (Image: 18.75" x 25") Archival Inkjet on Fine Art Paper Smooth Surface - Matte Finish - Inset Borders ABOUT THE ARTWORK Exhibiting the fatal curiosity of a true fairy tale heroine, Rosalie peeks at the gift Prince Gracious has promised to unveil on her fifteenth birthday: “Rosalie saw before her eyes a tree of marvelous beauty, with a coral trunk and leaves of emeralds. The seeming fruits which covered the tree were of precious stones of all colors—diamonds, sapphires, pearls, rubies, opals, topazes, all as large as the fruits they were intended to represent and of such brilliancy that Rosalie was completely dazzled by them.” Virginia Frances Sterrett illustrated "Old French Fairy Tales" (1920) when she was just 19. Having been forced withdraw from the Art Institute of Chicago on account of her mother’s ill health, she had been pursuing her artwork independently when she received the commission from Penn Publishing. At about the same time, she was diagnosed with the tuberculosis that would end her life at age 30. Encumbered by declining health, she was only able to illustrate two other works during her lifetime—"Tanglewood Tales" in 1921 and "Arabian Nights" in 1928. She was elegized by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a supplement published July 5th, 1931: “Her achievement was beauty, a delicate, fantastic beauty, created with brush and pencil. Almost unschooled in art, her life spent in prosaic places of the West and Middle West, she made pictures of haunting loveliness, suggesting Oriental lands she never saw and magical realms no one ever knew except in the dreams of childhood… “Perhaps it was the hardships of her own life that gave the young artist's work its fanciful quality. In the imaginative scenes she set down on paper she must have escaped from the harsh actualities of existence.” ART-CENTRIC DESIGN ----------------------------- Vintage art is not standardized. The original works are usually too long, or too short, to neatly fill a store-bought frame. Most shops arbitrarily crop the artwork to match, leading to claustrophobic prints with missing or partial elements. These modifications — sometimes trivial, sometimes ludicrous — are not always shown in the product photos. We believe that the purpose of art is not to fill a frame; it is the purpose of a frame to showcase the art. Our prints have inset borders that make up any differences in proportion between the artwork and a standard frame, so that you can experience the art as the artist intended. They look sharp in beveled mats, may be float mounted, or inserted directly into standard frames; the borders providing a mat-like accent around the image. There are many styles from which to choose. Framing is a fun, creative process that enhances the artwork and livens your space for years to come. Should you like any advice, feel free to reach out. CUSTOMIZATION AND IMAGE REQUESTS ----------------------------- We are happy to customize our prints to fit your frame. Borderless prints may require the artwork to be cropped to fit a new aspect ratio. In such cases, we will provide a mockup to ensure that the final product meets with your approval. If you’re looking for an artwork that is not in our catalog, feel free to ask if we can provide it. We will print any public domain or openly licensed image that is available in high resolution. MUSEUM QUALITY ----------------------------- Giclée process prints are the gold standard in fine art reproduction. We use a matte finish, cotton fiber paper to maximize detail while eliminating glare. Our prints display a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Produced using only archival materials, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them. HANDMADE DECLARATION ----------------------------- To assure artistic quality, all of our production and design is strictly in-house. Every print has been proofed, calibrated and inspected for defects. We do not drop ship, resell or make use of third-party production partners. SHIPPING AND PACKAGING ----------------------------- All orders ship within one business day via USPS First Class, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. Sizes 9” x 12” and 12” x 16” ship in a flat configuration, unless combined with larger prints, which require tubes. We will replace any lost or damaged items at no expense to you. HAPPINESS GUARANTEE ----------------------------- We will promptly address any issues that may arise with your order. If you are unhappy with your print for any reason, you are welcome to return it for a full refund.

The rules: Get your hungry hippo to "eat" more marbles than anyone else.What you never considered before: Sure, the animal kingdom may be a dog-eat-dog kind of world, but why must these jovially hued animals work against each other? Furthermore, these hippos are not merely hungry. They are hungry, hungry, but has anyone ever asked why these hippos are so hungry? In this "frantic marble munching game," hippos then fall into a pattern of binge eating. Yet food never fills their void, for they are forever Hungry Hungry Hippos.
