Frogue Magazine Cover Canvas Print

Because the illustrator knew restraint, the deep red hits harder here. Everything else is cream and quiet, so the coat and the big red lettering do all the talking. Hang it and a plain wall suddenly has a sense of humour. It works best where people pass close by and get the joke at arm’s length: a cloakroom, the turn of a hallway, a study above a desk, or a corner of a snug. Pair it with dark wood, leather, velvet and painted panelling. Keep the wall colour simple chalky off-white or a deep red and don’t crowd it with other loud characters or busy pattern, or the punchline gets lost. As a canvas the deep red reads softer and less glossy, which suits a lived-in room.
