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

Because the Beautiful and Damned was set in the early 1920s during the Jazz age, and the main character often sits in the bathtub contemplating his life, I wanted to depict a colorful and quirky version of luxury using this imagery. I created this using Adobe Illustrator and Apple's Procreate, and wanted to incorporate the lettering into the image on the book cover. - Savanna Steffens
