Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size are your artworks?
A: For simplicity, each image shown on this website is offered in one large size - 1000x667mm. Other sizes are available on request. The size quoted is the size of the image panel and the overall frame will be approximately 10mm larger in both width and height.
Q: Are your artworks paintings or photographs?
A: They are digital prints that have all been created from original photographs that I have taken. The method of printing directly onto aluminium panels with inks that have a satin finish does result in a painterly effect.
Q: What does 'limited edition' mean?
A: A limited edition of 10 means that there will only ever be 10 copies made of that image (regardless of size or format). So the smaller the edition size, the more uncommon your picture will be. Smaller edition sizes usually attract higher prices. All my artworks are supplied with a certificate confirming the edition number together with other details.
Q: What presentation formats do you offer?
A: My standard offering consists of an image printed directly onto an aluminium composite panel, framed in a deep wooden box frame (available in white, black or brown). This modern style maximises the impact of the image and has several other advantages: more robust for transport (no glass), no reflections from traditional glass, vibrant colours, attractive satin sheen finish. I suggest a frame colour that I think suits the image and it is mentioned in the product details, but if you prefer a different colour, just ask. I can also offer other presentation styles - email me with your request.
Q: What shape are your artworks?
A: Most of my artworks are rectangular (in the proportion of 3:2) and most are intended to be used in landscape mode (i.e. horizontally) although there are a few that are in portrait mode (i.e. vertical). As these are abstract images, the orientation is subjective, so you can rotate or flip as you prefer. It is possible to have some of the images in a square format (just ask), although this doesn't work for all images.
Q: Do you have every artwork in stock?
A: No - artworks are usually printed and framed to order, although I usually have some stock that I use for exhibitions.
Q: What countries do you ship to?
A: At the moment I only ship within the UK as the pictures are large and would be difficult to package securely for international transport. However, don't hesitate to ask about international shipment and I can evaluate the options on a case by case basis.
