What Makes It Uncommon

Mates of the Art

Jacqueline Schmidt assembles couples from land, sea, and sky in her print that proves that true love can be found anywhere, anytime, but only between a few very special species. We know wolves run in packs, but in fact, these paired-up pooches prove that the phrase "lone wolf" is a total misnomer. Angelfish respect the sanctity of their one-and-only relationship, Gibbon monkeys stay together for the swing of it, and hawks, swans, cranes, and pigeons are all proven lovebirds. Even termites show that the couple that shares an appetite for good things in life is destined for a fruitful relationship. This unconventional take on amore makes for an ideal gift for the nature lover or an affianced, newlywed, or just wildly romantic couple. Made in Michigan out of 100% recycled newsprint paper.

Professional illustrator and designer Jacqueline Schmidt is always ready to put pen to paper. “With so many creative thoughts rolling around in my mind, I have learned to be able to capture and document them as soon as they come in,” she says. Her sense of the moment and knack for blending the urban and natural worlds have led to her work being displayed everywhere from galleries to newspapers and magazines to the stationery company she founded in 2008. But as much as her innate imagination inspires her, motherhood has moved her more. “Having kids has definitely expanded my creative self,” she says. “It’s beautiful. I am grateful to them for opening my heart and mind even further.”

Exactly what I hoped for

The quality of the piece is excellent, and the frame is beautiful. I was a little concerned about the inconsistency of the names in the image pointed out by another reviewer, but that seems to have been corrected. I can't wait to give this to my husband for our anniversary! #sweepstakes

Perfect anniversary gift!

The frame is a classic black and looks perfect with the print. We hung the drawing in our living room and it looks great.

How can I get one of these Beautiful prints? I tried last year and this Christmas to get one for my wifey and cannot seem to check when it's in stock. Is it still in print? Can I special order just the print? I love my wife and need one. Thank you for your time.

Verified reply from Jasmine

Unfortunately, these are both out of stock. You can add your email to get notified when it's back in stock!

Would it be possible to add a special date or names? Thinking about it for a possible newlywed couple.

Verified reply from Colleen

This item is not able to be personalized.

I see two pictures of this framed. Is the frame black or is it the glass frame?

Verified reply from Marisa

Thanks for your question. The frame is black. We're sorry about the unclear information in our description; that error is being fixed asap, thanks to your question!

The item "Mates for Life" has 12 animals, the first 10 of which are identified Latin name followed by common name - the last two are common name then Latin name. Is this accurate or am I seeing a misprint?
