About this artist world: Nova Mirthwell is an in-house virtual artist persona created by PhoneCasing. The artwork is developed through PhoneCasing’s AI-led creative workflow. The stories below describe an imagined world; the studio portrait is an AI-generated visualization of that persona.
The Mirth Cosmos
Smiling worlds, impossible gardens, curious creatures and unexpected doorways turn ordinary objects into invitations to imagine. The Mirth Cosmos offers playful stories for people who keep asking what might come next.
Emotional Signature: Wonder · Dreams · Joy
Shop the collectionInside The Mirth Cosmos
Nova Mirthwell’s imagined cosmos treats surprise as a welcoming experience. Books become a path, an island can flower in the sky, and a picnic can bring together creatures with very different shapes. The scale shifts freely because the point is curiosity rather than realism. These little worlds can be read as invitations to take a creative detour: to open a book, welcome an unusual friend or let an unfinished idea lead somewhere new. Each design has its own doorway into that wider world.
The visual language
Neo-pop surrealism combines hand-drawn cartoon outlines with celestial symbols, eye motifs, candy-like color and dark grounds. Familiar objects anchor the fantasy even when their arrangement becomes impossible. Look for the path your eye follows: stairs, a wave, an orbit or a ring of characters often creates a small journey within the vertical composition.
Choose surreal cartoon fantasy art that feels personal
Start with The Scholar of Strange Stars for a reader or student. Happy Monster Picnic suits a message of inclusion; Secret Portal by the Sea speaks to a wish for exploration. Compare the darker forest scenes with the brighter creature gatherings before choosing your mood.
Start with a story that matches what you want to carry or say to someone else. These are suggested connections, so choose the meaning that feels right to you.
- The Scholar of Strange Stars: For a reader, student or lifelong question-asker.
- Happy Monster Picnic: For a friend who makes everyone feel included.
- The Smiling Melt Galaxy: For a creative friend comfortable with unexpected possibilities.

Shop this designMake the artwork part of your everyday life
A phone case is something you see throughout the day. Choose a motif you enjoy returning to, whether that is a small reminder of a goal, a connection to a favorite place, or simply a palette that feels like you. The story adds a personal layer; the artwork should still be something you love looking at.
Choose a meaningful gift
For a birthday, begin with the recipient’s favorite colors, animals or artistic style. For graduation or a new job, consider a story about beginnings, confidence or patient progress. For an anniversary or a long-distance friend, a design about connection can give your gift a message beyond its appearance.
Make it personal with a note of your own: “I chose this design because…” followed by the detail that reminded you of them. Match the artwork to the person, rather than assuming everyone experiences a symbol in the same way.
Check the phone before choosing the case
- Confirm the exact model, including Pro or Pro Max where applicable. On an iPhone, check Settings → General → About → Model Name.
- Open your chosen design and select the matching model in its product selector. For this artist journey, choose iPhone 13 if that is the phone you own.
- Review the selected pattern, case color, camera opening and product details. A gallery image can show a different model from the one you are ordering.
- Check the current price, case specifications and delivery information before checkout. For a gift with a deadline, contact us before placing the order.
Read our shipping policy and return policy for the applicable terms. For help with a design or model, email phonecasing.us@gmail.com with the product link and exact phone model.
Artists worldwide: create a phone-case collection with us
Are you an illustrator, painter, graphic artist or independent creative with a world of your own? PhoneCasing welcomes inquiries from real artists around the world for co-branded phone-case art collections. Bring your artistic identity and the designs your audience loves; we can provide phone-case production so you can offer the collaborative products to your fans.
This invitation is separate from the Nova Mirthwell virtual artist world featured above. We want to hear from working artists with their own original portfolios and an idea for a collection that feels recognizably theirs.
From your portfolio to a collaboration conversation
- Introduce your work. Share a portfolio or social profile, your country, and a few designs you would like to develop for phone cases.
- Describe your audience and idea. Tell us how you currently connect with fans, where you would like to sell, and whether you have a launch occasion or collection theme in mind.
- Discuss the practical details. We can explore artwork placement, phone models, sample options, production quantities and timing. Licensing, credits, pricing, sales channels and any exclusivity need to be agreed for the specific project.
- Plan the launch together. Once the design and commercial arrangements are agreed, build a product plan that gives your audience a clear connection to your art.
For an initial inquiry, portfolio links and a short concept are enough. Tell us which work you own or are authorized to license; there is no need to email your full-resolution production files at this stage.
Discuss an artist collaborationEmail: phonecasing.us@gmail.com
Stock art phone cases in your store
PhoneCasing welcomes wholesale inquiries from physical retailers, especially local stores across the United States. We operate our own phone-case factory in California and are interested in working with independent gift shops, boutiques, bookstores, art-focused stores and phone-accessory retailers.
The Nova Mirthwell collection offers surreal cartoon fantasy art with stories your customers can connect to. For a shop, start with a focused selection that fits your shoppers: a recognizable palette, a shared theme, or a gifting occasion. Compare the designs above before discussing a suitable opening assortment with us.
Tell us what your store needs
- Your store name, website or social profile, and physical retail location.
- The artist collections or product links you are interested in.
- Your expected quantities and the phone models your customers request.
- Your preferred delivery window and whether you want to discuss samples or a small initial assortment.
Ask us about wholesale pricing, order minimums, model and design combinations, sample availability, lead times, shipping and reorder arrangements. These details depend on the proposed order and will be confirmed directly before you commit.
For a seasonal display, a staff pick or a gift-focused assortment, include the occasion in your inquiry. We can use the artwork stories as a starting point for discussing how the collection would fit your store.

Questions about Nova Mirthwell art phone cases
What makes this collection distinctive?
Nova Mirthwell explores surreal cartoon fantasy art. Smiling worlds, impossible gardens, curious creatures and unexpected doorways turn ordinary objects into invitations to imagine. The Mirth Cosmos offers playful stories for people who keep asking what might come next. The guide above covers 19 current designs individually, so you can compare their meanings as well as their appearance. Choose a work by the motif, palette or personal connection that matters most to you.
Is Nova Mirthwell a real collaborating artist?
Nova Mirthwell is a PhoneCasing in-house virtual artist persona. This collection uses an AI-led creative workflow, and the studio scene is an AI-generated visualization. Our invitation to real artists is a separate collaboration opportunity; it does not describe an existing independent-artist partnership for this persona.
Are the phone cases individually painted by hand?
The story and visual language describe the illustration design. A hand-painted or gouache-like appearance is an artistic style, not a claim that each physical case is individually painted by an artist. Review the specific product page for its construction, finish and other case details.
How do I choose the right iPhone 13 case?
Pick a design, open its product page and select iPhone 13 in the model selector. Confirm the pattern, color and selected model before adding it to your cart. Do not rely on a gallery image alone to establish compatibility; contact us if the selection is unclear.
Can I choose a design as a gift?
Yes. Start with the recipient’s taste and the story you want to share, then confirm their exact phone model. The suggestions beside each artwork can help you choose a personal message. Check the current delivery and return terms before ordering, especially if you have a specific gifting date.
Can artists outside the United States contact PhoneCasing?
Yes. We welcome artist collaboration inquiries from around the world. Email a portfolio link, your location and a short phone-case collection idea to phonecasing.us@gmail.com. Production, licensing, sales channels and commercial terms are discussed for each proposed collaboration.
Can a local shop order these designs wholesale?
Physical retailers can contact us about wholesale art phone cases. PhoneCasing has its own phone-case factory in California, and we especially welcome U.S. local-store inquiries. Send your shop location, preferred collections, phone-model mix and estimated quantity so we can discuss the relevant options.
