Products & Prints

Are your products made to order?

Currently, yes.

Because we're a very small business, we keep a limited stock of prints on-site and reorder from our supplier as that stock runs low.

That means our products are printed to order, but not print-on-demand.

This process can make fulfillment slightly slower than traditional print-on-demand, but it allows us to maintain more control over the products we sell while still offering competitive pricing.

We hope to eventually have the space to keep a larger stock of every print on hand for faster fulfillment. Every order helps us get a little closer.

Are your prints print-on-demand?

No.

Our prints are produced through a small printing supplier with whom we have a personal relationship. They are not automatically produced and shipped by a print-on-demand service when you place your order.

We order and manage our own inventory, inspect our products, and fulfill orders ourselves.

What kind of paper are your prints made on?

Our prints are produced on 12 pt matte cover stock, which gives them a durable feel and helps colors stay vibrant and crisp.

It's essentially a high-quality poster stock, and we chose it intentionally for two reasons:

  • The printing process works extremely well with the vector, graphic, and pop-art-heavy imagery we create.
  • It allows us to offer our work at a more accessible price point than we could with archival giclée printing.

We may offer premium and archival print options in the future, but our standard prints are designed to be bold, durable, and affordable.

Do prints come framed?

No. Prints are sold unframed.

However, all of our prints are designed around standard frame sizes, so you shouldn't need to order a custom frame.

How should I care for my print?

Avoid bending or folding your print, and display it in a cool, dry location away from prolonged direct sunlight.

Framing is always a good option, but if you want to preserve the integrity of the print, we recommend avoiding tape or permanent adhesives.

If you'd like to display a print without a frame and without tape, museum putty can work beautifully.

Will the colors look exactly like they do on my screen?

For the most part, yes.

We don't Pantone-match every printed piece, and screens can display color slightly differently depending on device settings. However, our supplier has consistently produced high-quality prints that closely match the colors of the original designs.

Can I request a different print size?

Generally, no, but there are exceptions.

Our prints are sized intentionally, and changing the dimensions can sometimes require a substantial redesign.

Some pieces are much easier to resize than others, though, so feel free to email us at info@sinisterandspice.art if you have something specific in mind.

If we're able to resize an existing piece, an additional resizing fee will apply.

Can I request a different color variation?

Usually, yes.

If you only want a color variation of an existing design, we can often accommodate that for an additional fee.

If you're looking for larger changes to the artwork itself, the request will most likely need to go through our commission process.

Will sold-out or discontinued designs come back?

If there's enough demand, absolutely.

If there's a print you really want that's no longer available, email us at info@sinisterandspice.art. We might just make it happen.

Stickers

Are your stickers waterproof?

Yes, but they're not weatherproof.

Our current stickers are produced using PET thermal printing rather than traditional outdoor vinyl. The result is vibrant, durable, and water-resistant, but they're not designed for prolonged exposure to weather or regular submersion.

We wouldn't recommend placing them somewhere that will routinely be exposed to rain, outdoor conditions, dishwashing, or extended contact with water.

Limited Editions & Future Products

Do you release limited editions?

Most likely.

We haven't finalized exactly how or when limited releases will happen, but depending on demand, we expect to eventually offer things like:

  • Limited-run screen prints
  • T-shirts and apparel
  • Giclée prints
  • Specialty products
  • Other small-run releases

A lot of those decisions will depend on what our audience actually wants and, realistically, what we have the funds to produce. Some future product runs may even be crowdfunded.

If you want to have a say in what comes next, sign up for our newsletter and keep an eye on what we're working on.

Artwork & AI

Is all of the artwork original?

Yes.

All artwork sold through Sinister & Spice is original work. Every piece available for purchase was drawn or designed by a human.

How is AI used in your work?

We use AI intentionally and as a tool. It may be used for things like:

  • Certain website graphics
  • Building and developing portions of the website itself
  • Limited reference imagery during the creative process

AI is not used to generate the artwork we sell. Every piece available for purchase through Sinister & Spice was drawn or designed by a human.

Can I use your artwork for tattoos or personal projects?

Yes, absolutely.

We love seeing people make original work inspired by ours. Tattoos, reinterpretations, original spin-offs, and other personal art are encouraged.

What you may not do is reproduce our existing artwork or products for resale.

And if you do make something inspired by Sinister & Spice, send us the evidence. Email it to info@sinisterandspice.art or tag us on Instagram at @sinisternspice. We may even share it, and we'll make sure to tag you.

Commissions & Creative Work

Do you accept commissions?

Yes. Absolutely.

How do commissions work?

It depends on the project.

For certain existing series, including projects like We Are What We Speak and Furries Gone Wild, we may offer simpler commission arrangements for people who want a continuation or addition to an established concept.

For other commissions, the process is more collaborative. You pitch us an idea. If it fits within our creative wheelhouse and it excites us, we'll talk through the scope, pricing, timeline, and expectations together.

Start with our commission form.

Can I submit an idea without commissioning a piece?

Yes.

If you have an idea that feels like it belongs in the Sinister & Spice universe, send it our way through our idea submission form.

We can't promise that every submission will become a finished piece, but we absolutely want to hear the weird things rattling around in your brain.
