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.

We are an Australian-based business that uses premium-grade materials, professional large-format printing, and carefully selected finishes so that every piece feels like something made to last rather than mass-produced.

More Information about the Artwork / Artist

Takashi Murakami’s “Open Your Hands Wide, Embrace Happiness” is a vibrant, emotive work that encapsulates the artist’s signature style, blending traditional Japanese art with contemporary elements. The artwork features an array of brightly coloured flowers, an iconic motif for Murakami. These flowers, with their playful faces and varied expressions, symbolise joy, positivity, and hope. Murakami’s use of vivid, saturated colours helps to evoke an immediate sense of happiness, while the friendly, approachable faces of the flowers create a sense of warmth and inclusivity, inviting viewers to embrace the feeling of joy the piece conveys.

The title, “Open Your Hands Wide, Embrace Happiness,” reflects the openness and welcoming nature of the artwork. Murakami encourages the viewer to embrace a mindset of optimism, suggesting that happiness is something to be accepted and celebrated without reservation. The choice of such an uplifting theme is a common thread throughout much of Murakami’s work, where he often explores themes of emotional release and the pursuit of joy in an increasingly complex and sometimes chaotic world.

Visually, the artwork continues Murakami’s exploration of “Superflat” — a term he coined to describe his work and artistic philosophy. Superflat is characterised by its lack of depth and the flattening of perspective, which blends high and low art. This approach creates an image that is both accessible and deeply ingrained in contemporary visual culture. The clean lines, repetitive forms, and use of commercial elements, such as the playful facial expressions, further emphasise Murakami’s desire to bridge the gap between traditional Japanese aesthetics and the modern, globalised art world.

“Open Your Hands Wide, Embrace Happiness” also ties into Murakami’s ongoing exploration of popular culture and consumerism. By incorporating elements that resemble characters from manga or anime, Murakami taps into a shared cultural language that resonates with a broad audience. The work invites people to reflect on the connection between art, commerce, and personal happiness, raising questions about the role of art in both personal expression and as part of larger, commercial trends. This piece is a perfect example of how Murakami masterfully blends commercial and high art, creating a universally relatable artwork that continues to inspire conversations around art, identity, and cultural meaning.
