Product Insights
The Be A Cat Art Print by Paper Collective is an open-edition Giclée print on archival acid-free paper, created by award-winning artist Crossland as a celebration of joy. The image is a digital collage of scanned handmade materials, influenced by Picasso and Matisse, and printed in Denmark with archival pigment inks that preserve the original texture but may appear slightly less luminous than a backlit display. It fits IKEA FISKBO/KNOPPÄNG (30x40) and Europosters frames (50x70, no mat), and each purchase supports school funding in Nepal and WWF plastic-waste projects in Kenya. Priced at 90 CAD, it offers early access to an emerging artist with charitable impact.
