Houston Art & Street Grid Wall Decor
This print maps Houston by its streets — a north-south-east-west composition of the names and directions that orient the city, Westheimer to Kirby to Montrose. By Carl Crum, it's clean, modern Houston art and design-forward Texas art — a conversation piece you can live with, reading as graphic design from across the room and unmistakably Houston up close.
Where It'll Work in Your House
An office is its natural lane — clean type suits the wall over a desk — and it's just as easy as entryway art, in wall art for guys territory, or slipped into a black-and-white gallery wall beside Carl's other city grids.
Locals who navigate by street name, new transplants learning the grid, and design-minded grads claim this one — housewarmings and first-office milestones especially. More in homesick Texan gifts and Texas gifts.
Westheimer, Kirby, Montrose — if you can name them, you can hang them.
Fine Art Prints Made in Fort Worth, Texas
Since 1996, Crum Art has created original art, paintings, and fine art prints in Fort Worth, showing and selling work at hundreds of art shows across Texas.
Crum Art brings a distinct Texas and Western point of view to specific, meaningful images: pop art color, cowboys, cowgirls, animals, kittens, vintage signs, bluebonnets, humor, grit, and Lone Star nostalgia.
These are not mass-produced prints or generic wall decor. They are artist-made pieces with a Texas point of view, created for homes that feel collected, lived-in, and full of meaning.
Each print is produced to gallery-quality fine art standards, made to order in our Fort Worth studio, carefully inspected, and hand-signed by the artist. Every piece passes through our hands before it becomes part of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a giclee art print?
A giclee (zhee-CLAY) is the museum standard for fine-art printing — archival pigment inks laid down on fine-art paper, built to hold color for generations. Every Crum Art print is made to the highest standard of giclee: 100% cotton rag paper and archival pigment inks, printed to order and hand-signed by the artist before it leaves our Fort Worth studio. It’s the same process museums and galleries use to reproduce original artwork.
What is the difference between a giclee print and a regular art print?
Ordinary posters use standard inks on standard paper and fade within a few years. A giclee uses archival pigment inks on cotton rag paper, built to resist fading for generations. If you’re hanging it somewhere you’ll see it every day, the difference shows — first in the color depth, later in how long it keeps it.
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 frame a print?
Every size in our lineup matches a standard frame, so your print drops straight into an off-the-shelf frame from any craft store — no custom framing required. For a gallery look, add a mat and go one frame size up. Prints ship flat or carefully rolled; a rolled print flattens easily under a few books overnight.
How should I preserve an art print?
Ours do most of the work for you — archival pigment inks on cotton rag are made to last generations. To help them along: frame under glass or acrylic, keep out of direct sunlight and away from heavy humidity, and handle by the edges before framing. That’s it.
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.
What rooms do these prints work in?
Everywhere a home wants personality — living rooms, entryways, kitchens, offices, and nurseries. They’re strong anchor pieces for western, ranch-style, and Lone Star-inspired interiors, and just as at home in collected, colorful rooms of any style. A good rule for hanging: center your art 57 to 60 inches from the floor — museum height — and go a touch higher above furniture.
