The story behind the print
This gothic butterfly poster centres on a moth-like insect with a human skull forming its thorax. The upper wings are drawn with stained glass style panes and leaded outlines, while the lower wings show segmented patterns. Below the body, thin tendrils hang down, ending in small round seed pods. The entire design is rendered in black ink against a vintage beige background.
The composition is framed by a pointed arch and flanked by thorny branches with two candle stumps at the base. The illustration style blends entomological detail with gothic ornament, creating a dark academia mood. The monochrome palette keeps the focus on the intricate linework and the skull motif. This unframed paper print is supplied without a frame, so the buyer can choose a mount and frame to suit their space.
Printed to order in the UK on 270 gsm premium satin paper, it uses a 12-colour Mimaki UCJV300-160 printer and authentic Mimaki OEM inks. Each print is rolled and packaged by hand and is available in the configured sizes shown in the Size selector.
