Being laid off has given me the time I’ve needed to not only work on commission orders but also re-evaluate how I offer my art to my collectors. After reviewing a multitude of samples from printers, I’m excited to announce some changes and additions to my art prints.

Starting immediately, I will be upgrading my giclee prints from the 49 lb/180 gsm 9 mil glossy paper to a Matte 53 lb/210 gsm 9 mil paper. After comparing several options, I chose this paper because it offers a wider color gamut and a smooth matte finish that provides a glare-free display. Not only does it look vibrant, but it also feels luxuriously soft to the touch. The best part is, it remains affordable for my collectors so my prices don’t have to change.

Along with this paper upgrade, I will continue offering these giclee prints in the 8.5” x 11” size and will now also be adding a 5” x 7” size option as well.

But that’s not all. My collectors now have the option to upgrade to a canvas print in classic gallery style, wrapped around a real wood frame! The texture of the canvas enhances the natural look and feel of the artwork, creating a truly immersive experience wherever you hang it. Plus, no framing is necessary—just hang it and enjoy.

For my online shoppers, you can now start purchasing these new made-to-order print options directly in my Etsy shop.

For my Closet Collectibles shoppers, I will be gradually replacing the glossy versions of my stocked prints as each print sells out. So all future restocks of prints will be on the new matte paper. Additionally, I will have a limited number of canvas prints available to view and purchase at my discounted* in-store prices, starting with my next art drop-off & restock.

I know I say it all the time, but thank you again for your continued support. Every order and purchase means the world to me, especially now, as it’s my primary source of income while I’m awaiting my next career opportunity. Your support has become a true driving force, motivating me on my journey and pushing me closer to fully pursuing my dream—perhaps one day, even to the point where this becomes that next career opportunity. A girl can dream, right?

Stay Strange & Magical,
LDG Nicole

If you are local or traveling to Illinois, I encourage my clients to save money and see my work on full display by shopping my artwork in person with my consignment partner, Closet Collectibles where they truly support my creative endeavors to the fullest as their resident local artist.
