Thanks for the wonderful book! The vibrant pages have added a wonderful conversation piece to my living room. I very much enjoy going through and being transported to a beautiful world. -Joe
Absolutely perfect for a gallery wall! The paper and framing quality are beautiful in person.
Looks great!
Wonderful print. I love it. Great quality and fantastic colors. Thank you so much!
Fantastic print of an iconic building. Print has colors that are rich and vibrant and is on quality heavyweight paper. Looks great framed up and hanging on my wall.
This was the perfect piece of art to include in my office. Simplistic and colors pop. Highly recommend.
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!
Picture looks great. Love it for the kitchen. How about a dingbat apartment pic.
They're not hung yet - obviously - but look how amazing they'll look together! THANK YOU GEORGE!!!
I looked for a while on Instagram and other places. I liked all the work of George Townley. I ordered the Stahl House (I also live in SoCal but haven't yet visited... hard to get tickets). I am thoroughly delighted with the framed print and it is hanging prominently in my office. I have gotten some compliments and it is recognizable in my neck of the woods so people also seem to like that. I highly recommend the purchase of anything on the site... it was easy to order and quick to receive. Well packaged and secure shipping. No complaints.
Great quality and great addition to our baseball, dodgers and Cubs wall!
Love this print, great quality, lovely color, always love mid century modern and this print encapsulates the stahl house beautifully. Canโt wait to pick up more drone George in the future.
Absolutely love this dodger stadium print. Love the colors, the quality. Shipped super fast. Will absolutely purchase more in the future!
Great shipping time, incredible colors and quality. Iโm very glad to add Georgeโs art to my walls finally, had a wonderful chat with him as well over instagram. One of my favorite artists.
Exactly what I wanted. Right size (36x24). I was debating what version to get - I already have a "nigh" version of the chemosphere house; I am glad with the "day" version... keeps me inspired at work :) Thank you!
Night time Stahl house is gorgeous. Picture doesn't do it justice. The lighting makes the pool sparkle. Love it
Absolutely gorgeous. The colors are so vibrant and George has such a lovely perspective on LA landmarks. I don't have enough room for all the works of his that I adore
Love it
Store owner replied: I absolutely love this! The night variant paired with the walnut frame is my new favourite combo. Thanks so much for sharing.
Dreaming of the day the Dome reopens. These two pair perfectly.
Beautiful render of an iconic building. The simple geometry brings the architecture to a new perspective that, to me, embodies the feeling of radiance of being in that place.
Bobโs Big Boy has been my familyโs favorite restaurant for several generations, so I absolutely love that George made a print of it, and itโs proudly on display in my California-themed kitchen. I have several of his prints in my home and theyโre always sent quickly and safely.
The style of the photos and attention to the light at different times of day are excellentโI show my favorites in a gallery wall collection.
George's prints are a special blend of originality, color and a deep respect for the quirks of Los Angeles. They are always a compliment in my home and excited to see what is next! High quality, large size and worth every penny supporting a "small" artist.
We love all our Townleys! Griffith Observatory is one of our favorites. The colors really pop, the print is great quality, and all the details show really well. We have two more pieces hanging above our bed!
The Barney's Beanery print is amazing! Captures the feel of the place and works as a portal outside in your living room. I love how George makes every location feel new yet familiar, despite how familiar you may be, it's a lens to memories with more to come. Amazing work!
Georgeโs work is amazing. The LA locations mean a ton to me and I couldnโt wait to support him and the Cinerama dome. The studio gates also mean a ton and was an instant purchase!
Arrived safely and looks great framed.
We have several of Georgeโs prints displayed in our home. We get so many compliments on the Bobโs Big Boy. We only live a few miles from it, so we know this gorgeous print really captures it.
High-quality print and well packaged. Very pleased!
Great artwork and excellent quality. Adds a nice touch to my room.
*ignore reflections from frame cover!* This is one of 3 Townley prints that we have up on our walls (one still to go up, one more given as a gift, so 5 total), and we absolutely love all of them. High quality and beautifully printed with fast shipping. Townley is also a lovely human being as well as an excellent artist, which doesn't hurt!
Beautiful artwork!
Love this piece, it fits perfectly in my space.
I love George's work! I don't live in California, just visit occasionally, but I feel like I have west coast sensibilities, and George perfectly captures the essence of California in his illustrations. I chose this piece (and two variants of this Westwood In-N-Out work) because In-N-Out is my favorite burger ever and this is my favorite In-N-Out to go to. In this particular piece, the sunny, laid-back vibes of LA come through perfectly.
An LA architecture collection is not complete without Union Station. The magic hour is the cherry on top. Love this print!
One of my favorite pieces! Tiki Ti is one of the best tiki bars. The color on this art is even more spectacular and eye-catching in person. Love George Townleyโs work. This is the highlight of my tiki art collection!
Absolutely love this art! Perfectly captures the Paramount lot in Hollywood, a place I have a lot of great memories of. Proudly hangs in my office!
This is my second print I mounted on my walls. I get so many compliments.
