Don't Be a Drag — Typography Art by Betsy Crum

It is a mood and a reminder. Betsy set the letters in a chunky stencil and knocked them back until they are barely there, so the print reads as color first and words second — a pink rectangle that happens to be telling you something. It is pink wall art for a room that wants a little attitude without the volume. This also was a scarf design from Betsy's 2019 Crum Scarf collection, if I get enough requests, I'll bring it back. The color is flattering and the message is 100% spot on.

It belongs in a bedroom, a bathroom, a dorm, or a pink gallery wall with the Disco Ball and Más Amor Por Favor. Send it from gifts for her.

Product FAQ

Why are the letters so faded?

Because the color is doing the work. The chunky stencil capitals are knocked back until they are barely there, so from a distance it is a coral-pink rectangle that happens to be telling you something.

Was this a scarf?

It was, in Betsy's 2019 Crum Scarf collection. She has said she will bring the scarves back if enough people ask, so the print is the design's second life in the meantime.

Where does it hang?

A bedroom, a bathroom, or a dorm. It is for a room that wants a little attitude without the volume, and the coral is flattering to nearly everything near it.

What hangs with it?

The Disco Ball and Más Amor Por Favor prints, on a wall committed to pink. It also travels well as a gift for somebody who needs the reminder more than the decor.

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.
