Really happy with the print I bought (the electronic love blueprint) - looks amazing on the wall. Customer service was top-notch too. Would recommend.

The design team at wearedorothy.com is doing great work in my book. It's right up there with the likes of Peter Saville and Herman Miller which is saying a lot. I love both of my blueprints (Alternnative Love & History of Rock n' Roll) and I get many compliments on both. The artist/band recommendations on the Alternative Love spawned the creation of a Plex Music playlist I created and it's been my favorite playlist to date. Kudos also to the Customer Service team who promptly sent out a new Alphabet of Rock when the first shipment tube arrived empty. Next purchase will be from the Stamp collection

We brought a selection of Dorothy's music genre blueprint prints to brighten up our music classrooms. The prints are informative and they look absolutely amazing. Customer service were lovely and helpful. Would not hesitate to buy more art from them regularly!
