Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Sun-kissed and Feather-Ready: The Roadrunner's Ultimate Spa Day!". In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness the glamorous lifestyle of a Greater Roadrunner in Arizona, USA. This large-crested terrestrial bird knows how to soak up the sun like a true diva! With its black skin absorbing warmth from the rays, our feathered friend elegantly erects its feathers to allow direct contact with the golden beams. Known for its presence in arid Southwest regions, this common desert dweller rarely takes flight. Instead, it prefers to strut around scrub deserts and mesquite groves on foot – no wonder it has such fabulous legs! But it's not just about looking fabulous; this roadrunner has some serious temperature control skills. By basking under the sun's loving embrace, it regulates its body heat while enjoying a delectable menu of lizards, snakes, and insects. With an impressive back view captured in Cancalosi's lens, we can't help but admire this North American beauty. Its unique behavior of sunbathing showcases both intelligence and style – who needs sunscreen when you have perfectly adapted plumage? So next time you need some inspiration for your own relaxation routine or want to learn how to strike a pose effortlessly, take notes from our fashionable roadrunner friend. Just remember not to mention any commercial use – after all, even birds deserve their privacy!
