Black-inspired 'Wonderful Life' Art Print

I'd always felt this 80s classic by Black, 'Wonderful Life', was ironic: the actual music itself is a dead giveaway. I was surprised, when I read the Wikipedia entry on it, that Black ruefully believed most people didn't get it, and took the song's lyrics at face value. It reminds me of a famous case history in musical semiotics, the Louis Armstrong Paradox, whereby half the population believes 'It's A Wonderful World' is a sad song, and the other half believes it is not. I find it hard to believe that anybody who's seen the movie 'Good Morning Vietnam' can hear 'What A Wonderful World' and think it's a happy song, but hey, there you go. At any rate, I'm taking the songwriter's stated intent here and going with an ironic take on the song - this is an entirely fabricated vintage retro-style paperback cover using a famous painting by James Ensor called 'The Drunkards' (1883).

So if you're shopping for something ultra-cool for the 80s New Wave fan in your life (mayhap that's you!) then you finally got to the right place. Long end of the tail!

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.
