Thank you, my friends!
What a YEAR.
Seriously — thank you all for making 2025 such a wonderful ride for my little art shop. You showed up, and these twelve prints rose to the top like the fine ecru crema atop a proper pint o’ Guinness.
Below are the champs — the dozen bestselling prints of 2025 that found many, many new homes.
If one (or several) are calling your name, now’s the time to order so I can ship in time for the holidays!
Let’s dive in…
The Top 12 (in no particular order)
Vesuvio Café — San Francisco‘s Sweet Beat Rereat, Daddy-o
Fog, espresso, poets… this joint practically hands you a beret and tells you to chill for a while. A cozy West Coast favorite.
Erin Rose — New Orleans‘s Truly Beloved, By Locals and Visitors
The spirit of the Crescent City in one image: good tunes, excellent character(s), and a perfect Frozen Irish Coffee. People LOVE this one — maybe too much? (Naahhh…)
Sparrow — Chicago’s Gold Coast Classic Cocktail Central
This little birdie flies off the shelf every month. Chicagoans know: Sparrow just gets the vibe — soulful, charming… and a flirty little birdie she is.
Paddy Reilly’s Music Bar — A Wee Bit of Ireland in Manhattan
Dublin meets NYC in a room where every night feels like St. Paddy’s, and every pint is like a sturdily foam-topped high five. (Fiddle riffs sold separately.)
Nathan’s of Coney Island (You Know You Love It)
A print that gently wafts hot dogs, the briny Atlantic, a hardworking deep fryer, and… childlike joy. Nostalgia on a skwushie bun. A perennial crowd-pleaser
The Commodore — Eat Spicy, Drink Frozen
A slice of fried-chicken-soaked paradise. People buy this one and immediately want a frozen mojito and a basket of fries. And queso, too.
The Commissioner — Park Slope’s Finest
A neighborhood favorite: warm, welcoming, and drawn with the love of someone who’s logged some serious time here. “Shot of Tully?”
Black Mountain Wine House — Cozy Brooklyn Vibes
Moody lighting, old wood, and the sense that someone three stools down has a story for you. An atmospheric hit. Did I mention the fireplace?
Bar Bruno — The Carroll Gardens Brooklyn Classic
Sunny corner energy, killer tacos, soccer on the telly, and that Bruno buzz you can’t fake. (And don’t sleep on the Greenpoint outpost.)
The Levee — The Dive Bar at Its Finest
Unpretentious, scruffy, lovable, and loyal — like every friend who can hang at a dive bar with you. Or a shelter mutt. This print glows from the inside out.
Brooklyn Inn — Broerum Hill’s Classic Tavern
Curl-up-with-a-good-stout energy. Old-soul cocktail party ambience that folks seem unable to resist. And rightly so.
The Spring Lounge — NYC’s Day-Drinkin’ Valhalla
If you know, you know. And if you don’t… welllll, you should. Home of bleary-eyed regulars, cheerful lolly-gaggers, and those happy stuffed & mounted sharks.
🌟 Why These Prints Popped This Year
People wanted coziness.
They wanted character.
They wanted art that feels like somewhere — and these pieces fill the bill.
Maybe it’s nostalgia.
Maybe it’s wanderlust.
Maybe it’s because these wonderful third places are where laughs, love and stories come from — and we all needed that this year.
Either way: THANK YOU.
