Why this print
Some people only ever see their living room after the light has gone. You leave early, you get back late, and the house greets you with the day already done and nothing left to ask of you. That hour — the one for letting go, not for starting — can be hung too.
Why hang the end of the day and not the beginning?
Because the end of the day is the only stretch a lot of people genuinely own. At 9:34 p.m. the sun is 6 degrees up. Six: it has minutes left. That's why everything in this print sits low and to the right, cornered against the horizon, and the top two thirds of the sheet are empty. That emptiness isn't missing drawing: it's the day that already happened. The cap measures 240 units against the 340 of Dawn's arc — the same light, lower, shorter, flatter.
And the arcs above have flipped sign. In Dawn they read +1, +2, +3: heights the sun still has to climb. Here they're −1 and −2: heights it has already left behind. Same language, spent day. The halftone inverts with it: the pattern that arrived in green in Dawn is dark ink here, breaking up as it rises until the paper is left on its own. The only thing still lit is a line of eucalyptus green at horizon height. It's the last of the day, and it's the only color on the whole sheet.
What you get
- The print, loose. The printed piece arrives and nothing else, protected for the trip.
- Three sizes. 12 × 16 in for $39. 20 × 28 in for $89, which is where the emptiness up top breathes and does its job: large, that gap has weight; small, it's just margin.
- 28 × 40 in — $139: the large format, for the wall you look at from the sofa.
- Uncoated matte paper, 80 lb (200 gsm). This is the print you'll be looking at at night, with the lamp on and off to one side. Paper without sheen doesn't hand the bulb back to you: the emptiness stays empty, which is exactly its job.
- Printed on demand in the USA — at your door in 6-8 business days. It gets made when you order it: there's no pile waiting for a buyer.
- The whole day, if you want it. With Dawn (6:12 a.m.) and Zenith (1:48 p.m.), all three are $99: morning to night, in order, left to right. Backwards, the sequence stops reading. Dusk is the full stop.
It does nothing. It just writes down, exactly, the hour they give you your home back.
Product safety and care
- Printed paper art print. Not suitable for children under 3 — sharp edges, and the packaging is a suffocation hazard.

Frequently asked questions
Which size do I pick?
30 × 40 cm — about 11.8 × 15.7 in is for short walls: the gap between two doors, above a dresser, a narrow hallway. It gets looked at up close and in passing.
50 × 70 cm — about 19.7 × 27.6 in is for when the wall is seen from a distance — from the couch, from the dining table — and needs something to hold it. If the wall is completely bare and you are unsure, it is almost always this one.
And 70 × 100 cm — about 27.6 × 39.4 in is the big format: at that size the dimensions and the numbers read standing up, from the other side of the room.
Does it come with a frame?
No. It is the loose print, unframed and without glass, and that is on purpose: the frame is the part that has to talk to your home, not to us. Framing it for you would cost you considerably more than choosing it yourself.
One thing worth knowing before you buy: our sizes are metric — 30 × 40, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm, which works out to roughly 11.8 × 15.7, 19.7 × 27.6 and 27.6 × 39.4 in. A US 12 × 16", 20 × 28" or 28 × 40" frame is a fraction larger: with a mat it sits perfectly, and without one you may see a hair of a gap at the edges. If you want an exact fit, look for a frame sold in centimetres — 30 × 40 cm and 50 × 70 cm frames are easy to find online in the US.
How high should I hang a print?
The rule museums use: the centre of the print at 57-59 in (145-150 cm) from the floor, which is average eye height. You do not centre it on the wall, you centre it on the person looking at it.
If it goes above a piece of furniture — a dresser, a couch, a sideboard — then the furniture decides: leave 8-12 in (20-30 cm) between the top of the furniture and the bottom edge of the print, so the two read as one thing and not as two separate ones.
How much space do I leave between prints?
2 in (5 cm) between one print and the next is the spacing that works almost every time. Any less and they look crowded; any more and they stop reading as a set and start looking like separate pictures that happened to share a wall.
At that spacing, six 30 × 40 cm prints take up roughly 39 in wide by 33 in tall; nine, about 39 by 51 in; and all twelve, about 53 by 51 in. Worth measuring the wall before you decide how many.
What paper is it printed on, and will it curl?
200 gsm uncoated matte paper. The matte matters more than it sounds: it is the difference between seeing the drawing and seeing your ceiling light reflected back at you.
And the 200 gsm weight is exactly what keeps the print holding itself flat instead of buckling inside the frame. A 120 or 150 gsm paper does warp with humidity; this one does not.
How long does it take, and what does shipping cost?
Free shipping anywhere in the United States, with no minimum order. The price you see is the price you pay.
It is on your wall in 6-8 business days. Every print is made to order in the United States, one at a time: there is no stock waiting in a warehouse, your print starts existing the day you order it. If you order on a Friday, the clock starts the following Monday. You get a tracking number by email as soon as it ships.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Every print is made to order, only for you, and nothing is held in stock — so all sales are final and we do not accept change-of-mind returns. Please pick your size carefully before ordering; the guidance above is there for exactly that.
If it arrives damaged, defective or it is the wrong item, we do cover it. Email vexaprojectcj@gmail.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the print and the packaging, and we send you a free reprint. Do not ship anything back without written authorization first. Full conditions in our Returns and Refunds policy.
