“I’d Rather Die on an Adventure Than Live Standing Still” – A Darker Shade of Magic Hand Painted Plaque (6x3”)

Capture the daring spirit of Vesh and his multiversal journeys with this handcrafted, circular tribute to V.E. Schwab’s beloved novel.

Design & Inspiration

• Quote: Hand‑painted in a bold, vintage‑typeface that mirrors the typography of the original A Darker Shade of Magic cover. The words “I’d rather die on an adventure than live standing still” echoing the book’s adventurous tone.
• Circular Layout: The plaque follows the dimensions and visual rhythm of the novel’s cover art—featuring subtle, swirling ink‑like motifs that hint at the four parallel Londons. These faint background swirls are rendered in muted red and black giving the piece depth while keeping the quote front‑and‑centre.

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Compact yet striking at 6 × 3 inches(≈ 15.24 cm × 7.62 cm), perfect for desks, shelves, mantels, or as a centrepiece on a wall-mounted display.
• *Paint: Premium, archival‑grade acrylic inks applied by hand, ensuring vibrant color that resists fading over time. Each plaque is individually painted, so minor variations give every piece its own character.
• *String & Hanging: Two pre‑drilled holes are placed symmetrically. A length of natural jute twine is knotted through the holes, providing a rustic, ready‑to‑hang look that complements the fantasy aesthetic.
