I've really been wanting to print my art and put them on the wall since 2021 lol but I haven't done so because of the printing cost and the anxiety of other people printing my art (or any personal pics really) is kinda awkward.
Since getting my own photo printer, I've been printing whatever stuff comes to my mind. XD It gave me an opportunity to print my works! :D
I am experimenting on papers lately since I have no idea what type of paper and which brands are better. In this photo I used mostly Orions premium high gloss photo papers and the ones with my photographs are satin variant of the same brand. I was looking for brands like Canon, Epson, Kodak, etc. but for some reason they don't have it in the local bookstore I went to. I guess there are a lot cheaper brands out there that can give the same quality so they're not as popular anymore unlike years ago.
This is printed on satin photo paper and I can't decide if it is better than glossy lol. They both look so gorgeous. I can say maybe satin looks more elegant and expensive than high gloss papers.
In my couple of prints, I can say that paper matters A LOT. These prints turned out gorgeous and really vivid colors not only because of the printer but also because of the quality of the paper that I used. If you have a great printer but shit quality of paper, it will definitely turn out looking like shit because it's the paper that's gonna hold the ink.
I tried the same print settings and photo on different papers and one performed a lot better than the other despite coming from the same printer. This is how printing can get expensive so it's important to know the proper print setting for each type of paper as to not waste ink or papers.
After printing, I thought Hell yeahhh let's go stick it on the wall! but I realized it wasn't easy. I never thought I would need to plan the layout on the wall to not waste time and so it would look good. Like curating your art gallery wall.
I used Elmer's glue Tac N Stik adhesive gum since it's pretty straightforward and leaves no mess on the wall. These aren't permanent and we don't own the wall so it's not smart to put the prints in frames and drill holes there. :p
It's not perfectly aligned and I am okay with it. I am letting go of perfectionism since it's not good for me and just unnecessary so as long as they stick on the wall I'm good. No point obsessing on the alignment.
It feels a bit weird at first seeing all the different colors on the previously white wall but I like it. I love seeing my works on the wall since I need to be reminded on how the art looks like so there will be consistency which I prefer and it's easier to get ideas from previous works.
I need some rewiring for my brain cos I developed a lot of self destructive thoughts and this will help me with my goals. Before, I thought having your art or whatever on the walls or as screensavers/wallpapers are corny and cringe haha but it really shouldn't be that way. I liked the minimalist clean look before but I prefer it this way now since it helps me get reminded of the work that I've done and will help me move forward.
I love minimalist wall for my work room, but yeah I want to add abstract painting on my wall tho 😅
Hope you get better there ❤️
Can always add abstract while still looking minimal haha. You too Anggrek <3
Now this is so so lovely, can I come leave with you already?🥰🥰🥰
I promise I'll be a good girl😃
see I knew my art was this powerful! 🤣
Yes it is, I’m charmed already!!!😂😂😂
I can't really tell if the paper use in there has good quality, but I can tell that those arts is seriously amazing, they all look cool, gosh. And they also look in your walls, I think it goes well too with your PC's wallpaper, it's matching uwu.
Yeah it's kinda hard to tell on camera if it's too good since there is nothing to compare it with but if I put a normal paper side by side you will be able to tell lol. Thank you! Yeah I love those pink very uwu hahah
A wall full of artworks.. That's what I love too..!
You'll be inspired more to work when you see your artwork every day hehe..

Thank you for the kind words 🤗
The quality of the prints is really good, the colors are very sharp, and it matches your space, I noticed the led lights behind your monitor, so much color will make your creativity flow.
I forgot about the lights being visible lol. The quality really is topnotch. They are really very vivid :D
You must be so proud of your work and having your very own space in the house where the art is unleashed. My sister did the same with some of her photographs taken which also got her some prizes in more countries out there.
As how we should be! :D Even non creatives put their writings or pictures on the wall and I guess I can relate to them now haha. Good for your sis! Maybe those on the wall empowered her :D
Most likely yes. But I feel like I should hang something too now! Haha * thinking, thinking *
wowww all your works is very very nice!! It was appealing to the eyes, your room looks lively with that artwork of yours.
Thank you! Best decision ever lol
