Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print.   Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.

The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!

All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).

The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.

There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.

Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts.   The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall.   When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done.   The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1".   All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print.   Click here for mounting details.

Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back.   There are no metal mounting posts at the corners.   Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done.   Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50"   Click here for mounting details.

Made famous for all by the HBO film (now the new Lucasfilm movie "Red Tails" ), the story of the "Tuskegee Airmen" and stands bright in the annals of United States history. Formed as an experiment to see if black pilots could compete in the arena of aerial combat. The triumphant record that these brave men recorded under difficult conditions (created both by the enemy and by their own country) proved once and for all that racial prejudices have no place in the world of free men.

Depicted here, having successfully engaged a German Me-109F over Italy, is the P-51B Mustang piloted by Capt. Ed Toppins of the 99th Fighter Squadron, 332nd Fighter Group of the U.S. Army Air Corps. The 332nd fought in the Sicilian and Italian campaigns as well as bomber escort into the heart of the Third Reich. Bomber crews grew to be thankful for the sight of an escort of the "Red Tails", as the reputation of theTuskegee Airmen was so great that one newspaper even claimed they never lost an escort...
