💡Most customers choose small to medium for bathrooms and smaller spaces, medium to large for bedrooms, and large to extra-large for living rooms.
What print options do you offer?
We offer stretched canvas prints, floating-framed canvas prints, framed paper prints, rolled canvas prints, and paper prints, so you can choose the finish that best suits your room and budget. You can check this link to see more information about all the options.
Are your canvas prints made in Australia?
Yes — all Australian orders are professionally printed and finished in Australia using premium materials, with careful quality checks before dispatch. For orders outside of Australia, we print in either Europe or the U.S depending on where the order is going.
What quality are the prints?
We use premium large-format printers with archival inks designed for strong colour depth, sharp detail, and long-lasting durability. You can check this page for more information about the equality. We use a premium-grade, archival 100% cotton, 390 gsm textured canvas for all canvas prints.
Will the colours look exactly like the screen?
Colours are printed as accurately as possible, but slight variations can occur because screens display colour differently from printed material. We can't control your screen settings, but we work to ensure the print matches the original exactly.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders are produced quickly and dispatched within 2-5 business days, paper prints and rolled canvas will be dispatched the fastest for obvious reasons, followed by stretched canvas prints and then floating frames and framed prints as they take slightly longer to manufacture.

Delivery times depending on your location in Australia. Our normal turnaround for delivery (from placing the order to receiving the artwork) - is within 8 days. priority service speeds this up. We print in Noosa and Perth, giving us coverage on both the east and west coasts. Check this page for more accurate time frames for all locations.
What if I need help choosing the right size?
If unsure, choose the size that best suits your wall space, or contact us and we can help suggest what usually works best for your room.
What printer and inks do you use?
We print using Canon imagePROGRAF PRO large-format printers, chosen specifically for their exceptional colour accuracy, sharp detail, and consistency across both fine art and photographic work. These professional printers are paired with archival Canon LUCIA 12-colour pigment inks, a premium ink system designed to produce rich tonal depth, smooth gradients, and highly accurate colour reproduction, particularly in subtle shades and complex artwork. The 12-colour ink set allows for a much wider colour range than standard printing systems, helping us achieve deeper blacks, cleaner neutrals, and more natural transitions in everything from bold contemporary designs to delicate fine art prints. Just as importantly, these pigment-based inks are archival quality, meaning they are designed for long-term durability and excellent resistance to fading when properly displayed. We use one of the highest-quality professional printing systems available because it lets us produce artwork that looks impressive when you first receive it and keeps its depth, clarity, and colour integrity over time.
Is the artwork ready to hang?
Yes — stretched canvas, floating framed canvas,and framed prints arrive ready to hang straight on the wall. Please note that overseas orders, particularly to the US, may require fittings to be attached. They are included.
What happens if my print arrives damaged?
If anything arrives damaged, simply contact us with photos, and we will arrange a replacement promptly.
Do you offer custom sizes for your prints?
Yes, absolutely. We will be more than happy to create custom sizes for any of the artworks you see on the website. Feel free to contact us with the exact size you need, and we will provide a quote.
Am I able to come to your office to collect the artwork directly to save time and shipping
Absolutely, you are more than welcome to come to either of our facilities in Noosa, QLD, or Booragoo, Perth, WA. Please do, however, give us a call before coming so we can make sure someone is out front. We spend a lot of time out back around noisy machinery, so the front desk is not always manned.
Will I receive a proof for personalised art, and can I make changes
es — for all personalised artwork, we always send a digital proof before anything goes to print so you can see exactly how your design will look first. This gives you the chance to check wording, layout, colours, spelling, dates, locations or any other personal details before production begins. Proofs are usually sent within 48 hours of ordering, and very often much sooner, depending on the design and the time the order is placed. We know personalised artwork often carries important meaning, so we want customers to feel completely confident before the final print is produced. You are also very welcome to request changes once you receive the proof. In fact, we encourage it. If there is anything you would like adjusted, whether a small wording change or a more noticeable layout tweak, we encourage it. We continue refining the design until you are 100% happy with the result. Nothing is printed until you have approved the proof, which means you can order knowing there is still a chance to fine-tune the artwork before it is made.

More Information about the Artwork / Artist

Banksy’s Javelin Thrower is one of the artist’s most striking pieces, combining elements of classical iconography with modern political commentary. The artwork portrays a figure in mid-throw, capturing the powerful motion of a javelin being hurled towards an unseen target. What sets the piece apart is the juxtaposition of traditional athletic imagery with a more contemporary urban twist. The figure, which seems to embody both strength and grace, is rendered in Banksy’s trademark stencil style, with bold lines and sharp contrasts. It’s a piece that speaks to the relationship between tradition and modernity, blending historical references with a sharp critique of contemporary society.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Javelin Thrower is the way Banksy subverts the expectations of classical art. The javelin thrower, often depicted in antiquity as a heroic or idealised figure, is instead shown as part of a modern urban landscape. The background often includes elements of graffiti or industrial settings, creating a stark contrast between the subject’s graceful athleticism and the gritty reality of the environment around them. This fusion of classical and contemporary elements invites viewers to reconsider the role of sport and physical achievement in today’s world, and what it means to be a symbol of strength and power in modern society.

As with much of Banksy’s work, Javelin Thrower is also a comment on the political and social dynamics of the time. The act of throwing a javelin, often associated with competition, prowess, and national pride, is transformed in this piece into a metaphor for the larger social struggles of the 21st century. Banksy frequently uses sports and athleticism as metaphors for broader social issues, and in this case, the figure of the javelin thrower can be seen as a symbol of resistance or protest. The athleticism once celebrated in global competitions may now be used as a lens through which we view the divisiveness, power imbalances, and inequalities that characterise much of modern life.

The work’s distinctive style and powerful imagery have made it a subject of discussion in both the art world and the public sphere. Javelin Thrower is often interpreted as a piece that challenges the viewer to think critically about the ideals we hold dear, be they those of athleticism, freedom, or power. Banksy’s ability to combine subtle social commentary with striking visual imagery has made Javelin Thrower a memorable example of his broader artistic practice. Like many of his works, it speaks to the tensions between the past and the present, tradition and modernity, while offering a pointed critique of the societal structures that define our lives.
