BUYING A PRINT
what to consider
LIMITED EDITION PRINTs
A limited edition print means that there will only ever be a certain number of prints of the same image and size produced and once they are sold, there won't be any more available of the same print and size.
Typically, my Art Prints are availbale in different sizes, therefore, for most limited editions, I limit the number of prints for each size as follows:
25 prints for the Small size
20 prints for the Medium size
15 prints for the Large size
10 prints for the Extra Large size
This makes a total of 70 prints in the full print edition.
All limited edition prints are meticulously handcrafted, inspected, numbered and signed by me personally. When you buy a limited edition print, each print will come with a certificate of authenticity that will include the print’s edition number.
PRINT SIZEs & ASPECT RATIO
Prints are available in 4 different standard sizes as follows:
Small size = 18 x 12” ( 45.7 x 30.5 cm)
Medium size = 24 x 16” ( 60.9 x 40.6 cm )
Large size = 36” x 24” ( 91.4 x 60.9 cm )
Extra Large size = 45 x 30” ( 114.3 x 76.2 cm )
The best size for you totally depends on the available wall space to hang the print as well as the interior design of the surrounding space. Please check out the size comparisons above for both horizontal and vertical orientation, this will help you get a better idea what size suits your needs best.*
Based on the image, prints will differ in their aspect ratio; the aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of an image in relation to its height.
My images are captured and produced with the following aspect ratios in mind: 3x2, 1x1. 2x1, 3x1 and 4x1.*
* If none of the above standard sizes suits your needs, custom sizes and/or different Aspect Ratios can be available upon request. Click here to email us for any custom printing sizes and requests.
