How to I order?

Canvas Prints

How are they produced?

They are printed onto artist grade canvas using the dye sublimation process. Dye sublimation is ideal for my images because it is capable of delivering very strong colours, and its also very durable, as the image is literally chemically absorbed into the canvas. Of course, it's more expensive than the Giclee process which is more often employed, but I think its worth it.
The canvas is then stretched on a high quality 2" frame. The images are "gallery wrapped", which means that the image is wrapped around the side of the canvas. The image you see on the web site is the image that will appear on the front of the canvas. The canvas comes ready to hang - it is delivered complete with fittings. It is put into its special delivery box and delivered to your door by secure courier. Unpack it and put it straight on your wall. Delivery time is around 14 days.

All Canvas prints are produced in limited editions of 25. Each print is individually numbers with its print number, and once 25 are sold that it, the edition is closed.

Are the canvases varnished?

No, there is no need. The colour cant rub or flake off because of the nature of the printing process.

How do I care for my canvas?

If it gets dusty, the best way to clean it is gently with an appropriate attachment on your vacuum cleaner, or a damp cloth if you unfortunately manage to mark the canvas. Don't get the frame wet in case it warps. For the same reason I wouldn't advise hanging in a damp environment.

Greetings Cards

How are they produced?

All greetings cards are hand made by me, from one of my original images. They are made from heavy weight, high quality white card and come, complete with an envelope, in a plastic wallet. The inside of the card is blank for your message.

Card size is 22cm by 14.5 cm.

I make up packs of greetings cards to order, so please allow about ten days for delivery.

Delivery

Greetings cards will be dispatched by me using Royal Mail 1st Class postage.

Canvas prints will be delivered directly to you from the printers by secure courier, and a signature will be required. All deliveries should be checked by the receiver before signing for them. If the package is damaged either refuse to accept delivery or ask the delivery person to check the contents with you. Only sign for the goods if you are satisfied. In any other circumstances, please sign the package receipt as "unchecked". If a customer fails to follow these instructions and a package is signed for as received in good condition, I may find it difficult to claim compensation. Please save all materials, and contact me as soon as possible.

Returns

If you are unhappy for any reason please get in touch so that I have an opportunity to put it right. I want happy customers, because happy customers tell their friends, so if you are not happy with your print send it back to me within 7 days, and so long as its in its original condition and original packaging, I'll be happy to refund the full price, less shipping costs, with no quibbling.

Can you ship outside the UK?

Yes, but please get in touch first before ordering, so that I can give you a postage cost .

General

How are your images created?

All these images are produced entirely digitally. They usually start with a feeling or an idea that I want to capture - either about a place or an event. I then rough out a composition, and start to build the composition using montage, painting, and colour manipulation techniques. I am always aiming to produce a pleasing blend of composition and colour which captures that original feeling.

B2B

I am the owner of a hotel/restaurant etc and would like to show some of your work

If you are located in Cornwall please get in touch - I'd be happy to have a chat.

I am an interior designer, can you produce bespoke work?

Yes, because of the dye sublimation print process used, my canvas wrap images are a great way to decorate commercial areas which have heavy traffic, demanding atmospheres, high uv light values or which need to be rugged and long-lasting. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Can I use your images for something else - flags, banners etc?

Not without asking, please.
