Each print is archival printed on 100% cotton rag paper and signed. Available at the Rifle Paper Co. here.

While we’re at it, her personalized stationary with a custom-painted portrait of you is pretty neat too!anatomy-of-love

    Bettig is a French/American artist living in Los Angeles. He has done commercial work for Converse, Urban Outfitters and Fila.

    I love what he does here with color, how his blue lines intermix with white space and obviously the concept of two lovers becoming one through in shape of a heart is adorable.

    A portable map version is available for sale, though they are sent from Korea so shipping might be a tad expensive.

    It is super-pretty though – Buy it here:
