Because how a piece is printed is just as important as what it says!
Before diving into the subtle strengths of each print medium, let’s take a moment to explain how our collections are offered — and how to find the format that best suits your space, intention, or gift.
At The Whimsical Art Shop, most artwork is available as fine art prints only — offered in three to four curated sizes per image, with each size selected to complement the artwork’s proportions, composition, and visual impact. For those with unique display goals, we also offer custom sizing through our on-product-page calculator — allowing you to order dimensions that fit your exact vision while preserving the integrity of the original.
If you're seeking framed pieces, gallery wraps, canvas formats, metal or acrylic prints, or merchandise like mugs, pillows, and many other options, we invite you to explore our sister website - ArtLumics.com — a refined destination for collectors and designers alike. You can visit ArtLumics.com by clicking the link from any product page to that very product, making it easy to select the medium that fits your display vision.
