Fort Worth Nicknames Office Wall Art by Betsy Crum
Panther City started out as a tall tale about a sleepy town. Fort Worth kept it, printed it on things, and has worn it with pride ever since, which tells you most of what you need to know about the place. Betsy is from here, so this is a hometown artist writing down her own city's names, and the composition is graphic enough to work before you have read a word of it.
Typography holds a desk wall better than a landscape does, so this one lands in an office, a game room, or a bar area. As americana wall art it is a hometown-pride present that natives and newcomers both take the right way — see it beside the Panther City panther for the full legend. The rest of the city is in Fort Worth Art, with more from Betsy Crum's collection and the wider typography prints.

Product FAQ
Where did "Panther City" come from?
The story goes it started as a jab at Fort Worth — and the city kept it out of pure stubbornness, which is about as Fort Worth as it gets. Betsy set it alongside Cowtown, Funkytown, and the rest of the city's aliases.
Can typography carry a big wall on its own?
This one can — strong lettering carries across a room, and it anchors a wall solo or headlines a grouping of smaller pieces.
What's the right occasion for it?
Going-away parties, first apartments, and the Fort Worth friend living out of state who still says Funkytown unprompted. It travels well, emotionally speaking.
What would you hang next to it?
Fort Worth State of Mind doubles down on hometown lettering, and the Icons IYKYK print puts pictures to all those names.
Will this look like an original painting or a print?
Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.
What sizes does this print come in?
Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?
Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
