Alphaville 'Big In Japan' Art Print

Next to 'Forever Young' (see my poster for that too), 'Big In Japan' was a big hit for new wave band Alphaville, and it was the rage in the mid-80s. It was inspired by the real-life story of a punk rock bank from the UK with that name, and from the more general idea developed in the 80s that it was possible for a band to achieve massive success in Japan but nowhere else - it's come to refer to niche, odd, and inexplicable success in random markets (a meaning cemented by its use in 'Spinal Tap' to refer to the Japanese success of 'Sex Farm'). Pay, and I'll sleep by your side, indeed!

The retro, vintage pulp paperback cover I chose for this is a silly, literal take on cleavage, ha-ha, but it retains the Japanese setting - the original is part of a series about this well-endowed secret agent.

Very much for the 80s new wave fan in your life, and available in 5 increasing sizes across poster prints, framed/ready to hang, and stretched canvas, as well as a speaker cover for Symfonisk IKEA Sonos speakers.

It is! We use a global fulfillment company that enables us to print at a printing company local to you, across 23 countries, and then shipped to you from there. It's fast, and all shipping costs are baked into the price you see here. It also means no import or customs fees.

If you need something expedited, then please message me before you buy - there are several super-fast shipping options available (up to overnight) with corresponding premiums.

There will be white borders around the image to facilitate framing, if you decided to frame or mount yourself. The left/right, vertical borders will almost always be thicker than the top/bottom, horizontal borders because of the dimensions of the source material (actual pulp paperback novel covers, or movie posters). I can't stretch the image to fill standard paper sizes without it looking, well, stretched - they look bad and believe me, you don't want that. Because every single poster uses a unique source image, no two images have the same dimensions.

We typically ship orders out within 2 - 3 business days of ordering. From there shipping may take an additional 3-5 business days; most of my customers receive their orders within 10 days of ordering, regardless of destination (yes, Perth, that includes you!).

Yes you can: in addition to the default black, frames are available in white, light wood/birch, and dark wood. Metal frames are also available. If you want a different colour or material for your frame, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BUYING since I need to intervene before your order gets automatically processed.

No, that's only on the website version to dissuade bootleggers from stealing my stuff. Your final product will be clean of any watermark.
