In the last few weeks I have been investigating the viability of producing prints of some of my work . It has taken a lot of hard work and research to find the best method of printing on the highest quality papers and canvas available but it has most certainly been worth the effort !
I have created a separate business venture for the prints , primarily because the service will ultimately be extended beyond that of printing just my own art work . Check out the website ! So people , if you have a photo you want to put on canvas or any one of the other styles we offer - let me know !
Initially this was a joint venture between a fellow artist ( photographer ) and myself but sadly , as is so often the case in business , one partner ends up doing the majority of the work and in my case , all the financial investment too . It was simply not viable to continue a work relationship with someone who was not sufficiently motivated to contribute towards making the business a success.
As an individual I like to live inspired , I am highly motivated and driven and could no longer deal with the emotional energy it took trying to motivate my partner ,having to recover from continually being let down and having the wool pulled over my eyes.
The printers I have selected and I will be running a few test prints tomorrow to make sure the quality and colouring is up to standard and thereafter I will be printing a series of limited editions on some work.
I am very excited about branching out into offering prints of my art . Prints can provide the opportunity of owning some excellent work otherwise not available. Many high profile artists view the medium as an integral part of what they do and have elected to do significant works in print, This has contributed to the increasing value of prints worldwide !
