"Expect to be surprised 3" Illustrated by Lyla Paakkanen

Prints

Each Creative Action Network poster is hand-printed and handled to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The sturdy matte paper and premium inks create a vibrant, museum-quality image that looks great both framed and unframed. Posters are printed in Los Angeles, CA on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper heavyweight stock, with a wide color gamut and Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. The framed poster arrives wrapped in a protective yet lightweight black frame and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector that won't break during shipping. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

Artist Statement

Surprised girl with the cupcake wallpaper. All of my designs were made in Illustrator. I used photos of the neighbor kids as reference and used artistic liberties to give the figure personality. — Lyla Paakkanen
