Prints & Wall Art
The biggest single section in the shop — lenticular prints that shift as you walk past them, anime art, and matted portrait prints, most around $20.
Most of the wall art here is lenticular — printed under a ridged plastic lens so the image changes as you move past it. Two or three frames of an image, or a shallow 3D effect, depending on the print. They photograph badly and look far better in person, which is exactly the sort of thing that ends up in a thrift shop rather than a gallery.
Nearly everything in this section sits around $20. It is the cheapest way to cover a wall with something that is not a poster off a website, and no two pieces here are the same.
New wall art is either expensive or identical to everyone else’s. Lenticular prints in particular are largely out of production in the styles people want, so the interesting ones only exist secondhand. Everything on this wall came in as a one-off, and when a piece sells it is genuinely gone.
4100 N Pulaski Rd, just north of Irving Park Rd in Old Irving Park. Easy from Portage Park, Avondale, Albany Park and Logan Square, with street parking usually right out front. Prints are on the wall as you come in.
Everything currently on the wall — lenticular prints, anime art and portrait prints, pulled live from the shop’s inventory.
Loading what’s in stock…
Jojin's Kitty Thrift Shop at 4100 N Pulaski Rd carries secondhand wall art with most prints around $20, including lenticular prints, anime art and matted portrait prints. Open Monday through Saturday, 10am to 7pm.
A lenticular print is printed behind a ridged plastic lens, so the image shifts or appears three-dimensional as you move past it. Most of the wall art in the shop is lenticular, and it looks considerably better in person than in a photograph.
Regularly, yes. Anime character prints are one of the steadier parts of this section, though which characters are in stock changes constantly. The live inventory above shows what is on the wall today.
Most are unframed or matted rather than framed, which is part of why they are priced where they are. Everything is secondhand and sold as-is, and you are welcome to look a piece over before you buy it.
