Product Insights
The Green Snake Art Print See Available Sizes by Paper Collective is an in-stock 90 CAD open-edition portrait print whose snake is hand-cut in Matisse's drawing-with-scissors style and collaged from drawings, paintings, textiles, and paper scraps, giving it handmade rather than digital-vector texture. The depicted snake carries stars, clouds, raindrops, and explosions across its body, anchored in greens with lighter accents, and is printed in Denmark under the Nordic Swan ecolabel on 265gsm acid-free FSC-certified paper using 12-colour pigment Giclée, which renders nuanced illustrated greens and smooth tonal transitions without banding and resists yellowing and curling. The matte uncoated sheet stays glare-free near a window, but its colour saturation is 15-20% lower than glossy, so the greens read soft, and it is made for close, eye-level viewing rather than distant statement; its tonal range flattens when hung far across a large room. Both portrait sizes, 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm, are in stock in the same Assorted colourway, the former suited to close viewing and the latter able to carry a wall at 110 CAD for nearly triple the printed area, and a mat can be added without trimming or cutting. It is by named living illustrator Imogen Crossland, a Manchester-based University of Brighton graduate, and sits in the accessible open-edition tier rather than a limited edition or original; made-to-order production in Denmark reduces waste and delivers a print fresh from the press.
Verified claims
- Matisse inspiration
- Snake's flat silhouette is hand-cut in Matisse's drawing-with-scissors style
- Playful snake motifs
- The print depicts a snake with stars, clouds, raindrops, and explosions scattered across its body, rewarding close inspection.
- Handmade texture
- Illustrated by hand from drawings, paint and paper scraps rather than digital vector art
- Collage process
- Hand-cut forms collaged from drawings, paintings, textiles and paper scraps
- Matte finish
- Matte uncoated paper stays glare-free in any light, with softer colour than a glossy sheet
- Palette
- Primarily green, with the snake's angular body built in shades of green and lighter star, cloud, raindrop, and explosion accents breaking up the field.
- Placement
- Matte finish resists glare and reads best up close, not as a distant statement.
- Printing technology
- 12-colour fine-art Giclée printing renders the greens and smooth tonal transitions without a visible screen pattern.
- Colour reproduction
- 12-ink Giclée renders the green as nuanced illustrated tones rather than a flat CMYK green.
- Viewing distance
- Rewards close, eye-level viewing; its tonal range flattens when hung far across a large room.
- Paper quality
- 265gsm acid-free FSC-certified paper resists yellowing and curling.
- Glare
- Matte sheet diffuses light, so the print stays glare-free near a window.
- Color saturation
- Matte stock renders colour 15-20% less saturated than glossy, so the greens read soft.
- Variants
- Both sizes ship in the same Assorted colourway and are both in stock.
- Scale fit
- Available in 30 x 40 cm (11.75 x 15.75 in) for close viewing and 50 x 70 cm (19.75 x 27.5 in) to carry a wall; art print only, frame not included.
- Artist
- By named living illustrator Imogen Crossland, a Manchester-based University of Brighton graduate.
- Catalog tier
- The accessible open-edition tier, not a limited edition or original.
- Made-to-order production
- Made-to-order in Denmark reduces waste and delivers a print fresh from the press.
- Ecolabel
- Printed in Denmark under the Nordic Swan environmental ecolabel
- Orientation
- Both sizes are portrait, with the snake composed to rise upward.
- Matting
- A mat can be added without trimming or cutting the print.
- Size options
- Both the 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm sizes are in stock and share the same Assorted colourway.
- Size value
- The 50 x 70 cm sheet is 110 CAD against 90 CAD for 30 x 40 cm, nearly triple the printed area.
- Frame compatibility
- Both 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm are standard European frame sizes, but neither maps cleanly to a standard North American frame size; North American buyers generally need a custom frame or a frame built for metric poster sizes.
- Humidity suitability
- Unframed paper prints aren't ideal for bathrooms or kitchens, where humidity swings can cause the paper to cockle, ripple and warp; if hung there, frame it with a mat and sealed backing behind glass, and keep it away from splash zones and direct steam.
- Cleaning and care
- The matte uncoated surface should be dry dusted only; wiping with a damp or abrasive cloth can scuff or mark the print, and moisture risks lifting or staining the ink.
