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.

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

Takashi Murakami’s Jellyfish Eyes – Max & Shimon in a Strange Forest is a vibrant and surreal artwork that exemplifies the artist’s distinctive approach to combining traditional Japanese techniques with contemporary pop culture influences. The piece is part of his broader Jellyfish Eyes project, which incorporates elements of his signature “superflat” style—characterised by flat planes of colour and an absence of depth or perspective—while exploring themes of childhood, memory, and the blurred boundaries between the natural and artificial worlds. The artwork, which blends whimsical characters with unsettling elements, captures the innocence of youth while subtly alluding to darker, more complex undercurrents in society.

At the core of Max & Shimon in a Strange Forest are the two central characters, Max and Shimon, who traverse a fantastical forest. Max is depicted as a stylised, anthropomorphic creature, with exaggerated features and bright, bold colours that contrast with the more muted tones of the eerie surroundings. Shimon, a slightly more abstract figure, adds an element of ambiguity to the narrative, with their form shifting between organic and mechanical. The duo’s journey through the forest evokes a sense of exploration and curiosity, while the strange, jellyfish-like creatures scattered throughout the piece introduce a sense of both wonder and unease. Murakami’s playful yet haunting imagery encourages the viewer to reflect on the tension between innocence and the unknown.

The forest in the background serves as an enigmatic environment, where the natural world appears distorted and artificial. The surreal landscape is filled with vibrant, otherworldly flora and fauna, often blurring the line between reality and fantasy. Murakami’s manipulation of space, colour, and texture creates a dreamlike atmosphere that invites the viewer to interpret the forest as a metaphor for the subconscious. The overwhelming sense of strangeness within this landscape highlights the internal conflicts and contradictions that Murakami frequently explores in his work, including the fusion of beauty and grotesque, as well as the clash between traditional and modern aesthetics.

The inclusion of Jellyfish Eyes in the title reinforces Murakami’s fascination with the aquatic creatures, which symbolise the hybridisation of traditional Japanese iconography with contemporary, pop-inspired elements. Jellyfish, with their fluid and mysterious nature, have been recurring motifs in Murakami’s oeuvre, representing both beauty and the unknown depths of human experience. In Max & Shimon in a Strange Forest, the jellyfish figures and the other abstract creatures serve not only as visual elements but also as symbolic representations of the unpredictable nature of life and the intersection of innocence with the uncanny. Through this intricate balance, Murakami continues to expand on his exploration of Japanese culture, while simultaneously addressing universal themes of human existence and the passage of time.
