"Expect to be surprised 2" Illustrated by Lyla Paakkanen

Wall Art

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

Girl with the ladybug wallpaper. All of my designs for CAN were made in Illustrator. Reference photos were used of the neighborhood kids. I took liberties with the images to give it personality. — Lyla Paakkanen
