Did you know you needed two tough guys swinging a mace looking out for you?
Every print begins with an original drawing that's carved into lino by hand and printed one at a time using lino specific ink. What you're taking home isn't a reproduction, it's an original piece of printmaking.
THE DETAILS:
Are your pieces originals or prints?
All of my relief prints are originals; conceptualised, drawn, carved & printed by me.
Will two pieces ever be exactly the same?
The beautiful thing about relief printmaking is no two are ever quite the same.
How are pieces packaged for safe delivery?
Every piece is packaged flat within an acid free sleeve & backing board to protect it in transit, then sealed to keep the elements out.
How should I care for my print/illustration?
Keep it out of direct sunlight; UV rays fade ink & paper over time, & we'd rather your piece stay as dark and vivid as the day it arrived. Avoid humid spaces & extremes of temperature, as these can warp paper or affect the ink. If you're not framing it right away, store it flat in the acid-free sleeve it arrives in or between two sheets of acid-free paper — rolling can crease or damage the surface. When you do frame your print, UV-protective glass is a worthwhile investment for keeping the piece looking as intended for years to come. Handle with clean, dry hands (or better yet, cotton gloves) to avoid oils transferring onto the paper.
Treat your piece well, and it'll haunt your walls for years to come.
