My Top 4 Digital Art Sources and How to Get High Quality Prints

One of my favorite ways to decorate is using Art as a focal point in a room or even designing a room around artwork. Art can immediately change the mood of a space, add drama or create a sense of calm. It’s a great way to showcase collections, family memories, and display your personality in your home. 

Being a painter myself, I am a huge proponent of collecting original artwork, however, original artwork often comes with a hefty price tag. Hanging art prints, on the other hand, is an excellent way to decorate your walls while still staying within budget. And with the way things are now, you can even get the look of real artwork with digital prints as well! Keep reading to know where I like to source my digital art prints from and more importantly how I like to print them at Artifact Uprising!

Printing High Quality Images

Let’s chat about printing that art. Artifact Uprising, is a great online resource for printing art, photographs, creating albums and photo books, among other photo gifts. Materials matter when it comes to art, and the folks over at Artifact Uprising use only the best while still staying sustainable. From recycled paper for their photobooks to locally sourced wood species for photo display blocks, and wood frames – there is thought behind every piece.

What Print Option to Choose

For printing artwork, I highly recommend going with the Giclee print option available at Artifact Uprising to bring every little detail to life. To get the closest look to original artwork, giclee printing is the way to go. The full bleed art look gives you the impression of a painting rather than a print, so experiment printing without adding a matt around your print.

Framing Options for a Unique Look

You will be spoiled for choice by all the framing options at Artifact Uprising – from gallery frames, to wood wall tiles, they have plenty of options to choose from. I have personally used their gallery frames, modern metal frames, and their tabletop easel frames.

A fresh way to showcase your prints is to display them on a wood block. This makes it super easy to switch out artwork and decorate seasonally. 

The entire shopping and printing experience at Artifact Uprising is easy and quick. I absolutely LOVE the quality of printing and would highly recommend trying them out for your next set of art prints or photographs. To make that online shopping trip even sweeter, I have a special discount code for you to use! “FARIHA15” will get you 15% off your ENTIRE order! 

And as promised, here are my top 4 sources for downloading digital art:

1. Artifact Uprising. Yes! They also have FREE downloadable art prints from real artists. From abstract to modern art, there’s something for everyone. It’s pretty a one-stop-shop for creating beautiful artwork.
2. North Prints. I love North Prints for their vintage artwork! I used their prints a ton in my upcoming TV show, Problem Spaces on Magnolia Network
3. Shop Vintage Supply. When it comes to designers and decorators, this online shop is a household name for quality digital art. 
4. Open Source Artwork. This is my best kept secret when it comes to downloading art. There is a huge collection of open access artwork that you can download for free! Yes, actual original artwork that is in the public domain. Try scouring for images at The National Gallery of Art, The Smithsonian, and even The MET.
