Man In The Arena Luxe Art Print
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
– Excerpt from "Citizen in a Republic" Speech by Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
The folks at Mental Floss will do a way better job than myself of telling you about the history and background of this speech, but I can tell you my history with it, and why I chose to make it into art! I have had the pleasure of working under the leadership and vision of some amazing people. I still remember the time my employer read this part of Theodore Roosevelts speech, and its marked me ever since. I was recently reminded of it, and I was so inspired to make it. One of the things I wanted to achieve in the design is to specifically call out each different portion of this brilliant quote – there is so much to take in, and I hope this helps! I can think of so many people Id love to gift this to, and so the team and I were intentional to bring you this new piece in time for holiday! The piece in the photo is 30x38, Alabaster, and framed in the Gallery Natural. Whether you customize yours to be large like this one or choose an art print, it is sure to make a meaningful impact in whatever space becomes its home. (Oh, and one other cool thing about this piece is thats a replica of Theodore Roosevelts exact signature on it!)

Art Print F.A.Q.s
Expert craftsmanship for an heirloom piece.
Each print is created with archival-quality ink on 100% cotton rag paper, then carefully set in a handcrafted, USA-made wooden frame. Every piece is finished with a dust cover, crystal-clear acrylic glazing, and a ready-to-hang wire for effortless display.
Not really. Each artwork is permanently dry mounted to the mat board inside the frame and then finished with a dust cover backing. This makes your art print archival quality! We would not recommend taking it apart.
First, it's so tedious, but measure measure measure! We like to use painters tape to block off the size you're considering, in order to get a true visual of the scale for your space.
Please note that sizes 8x10, 11x14, 16x20 & 20x24 come with a 1.5" mat, and 24x30 prints come with a 2" mat. This mat size, plus the frame size, adds substantial size to your artwork, so please consider this when measuring!
We believe that if you love it, it's the right choice! Art was never intended to "match" – it was intended to help you feel, celebrate, or document something. However, we understand wanting to make the right choice for your investment. If you're struggling with making a choice, contact us with a quick photo of your space and we'd be delighted to help! Contact us.
Great news! After about five days in production, your Art Pint (framed or unframed) will make it's way to you via UPS Ground.
Yes and no. What you are seeing in the images above is the exact image that gets sent to print for your art. The painting and composition are exactly the same as the painting you will receive. Some things of note, however:
• The images above do not have the texture/embellishment added to them. This is because the embellishment application is at the discretion of the embellishing artist and will vary from piece to piece. (This is what makes it one of a kind!) Be assured that the texture will only enhance the painting, not take away and the composition will not be altered or affected.
• The color on your monitor most certainly will look different than that of a canvas print. (Technically, that's because screens display colors by emitting light. Conversely, printed materials rely on the reflection of light from the printed ink, which makes colors print darker and less saturated than they appear on screens). Additionally, the lighting in the styled photographs can change the appearance of the art slightly (as it will in your space).
• You may choose a different framing option than the image displayed, and your canvas will come with whatever framing option you select, which may or may not be depicted in the photos.
Because each art product is custom made just for you, we do not accept preference-based returns. However, your satisfaction is the most important thing to us, so please contact us if you have any concerns.

LL Philosophy ✧・ﾟ
home can heal
Investing in art is investing in you, and you are worth it.
At this point, we've all been through some stuff. Great stuff, hard stuff, in between stuff... And with all the things we have walked through in my own home, I am more convinced than ever that creating a home that inspires and delights you can also help you heal on a deep level. Personally, I think the most impactful way to set the tone for your space is starting with art as the anchor, and then building around it. Because let's be honest, no one ever refers to their couch as "meaningful."
