This was a birthday present for my best friend. He said he was "Gobsmacked" because it brought back memories of going to the Aero Theater with his mom as a kid.

Overall rating: 5 / 5 from 110 reviews.
Print is perfect! The colors are so bold and really light up the room now that we have it hung.
Print looks great and the framing is solid. It arrived with a tiny chip in the wood, but is almost unnoticeable so all good. I wish the artist signed the print, but love his work and looks great on the wall
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the kind words! I wish I was able to sign the prints too, but as Iโm based in the UK and 99% of my customers are in the US, I chose to fulfil from the US so customers can avoid the extra shipping costs, tariffs, and delays. Itโs a shame, but I do try to host in-person shows in LA every year and encourage people to bring their prints along if theyโd like me to sign them!
Loved this one!
Beautiful, original and quality art. Also thanks for getting back to me on questions about hanging outside in the heat!
I love this beautiful print of the most gorgeous art deco building in Los Angeles. George has great aesthetic for other unique architecture across Southern California. ๐ด

Eames obsessed, so had to have this for my collection. Lovely to see the inside, since itโs a rare sight unless you pay for the pricey tour. Now I can gaze inside whenever I please.
A beautiful way to memorialize our beloved Amoeba Sunset. Itโs perfect!
This was a gift for my son. He has several of your prints and really likes them all!
I got this for my daughter as her house looks basically the same. Great work!
My daughter is a huge Dodger fan. And we were just watching a live stream of the game analysis and they had the same print on the wall. Lovely!
Absolutely perfect for a gallery wall! The paper and framing quality are beautiful in person.
I love the artwork.
The colors are just as vibrant as I'd hoped for!
Ordered for a friend. Upon receiving it, he immediately called me and said how brilliant the coloring is. Nice work!

Easy experience and great value
Absolutely fabulous. Like other George Townley prints we have ordered it looks even more vivid in person. Chose the walnut frame option and it is a very nice, high quality frame.
Wow! Iโm incredibly pleased with the print and paper quality! Itโs at the framers now and I canโt wait to place it in the hallway leading to the media room. Itโs perfect!
This was the perfect piece of art to include in my office. Simplistic and colors pop. Highly recommend.
Both of my picture purchases are a delight, and I look forward to having them properly displayed after framing them. The Hollywood Boel brings back lots of summertime memories!

I had been looking forever to find prints for my wall when I finally came across Georgeโs work. The Dodger Stadium print was exactly what I had been looking for. And the Theme Building complemented it perfectly. George was wonderful and answered all my endless questions. I love these prints!!
So vibrant!! Shipping was pretty fast. Looks really nice in person!
