-
Why are prints signed in pencil?
Signed in pencil is the method preferred by art collectors. Pens / markers fade or bleed over time but graphite does not. The effect of graphite on paper is also difficult to replicate via scanning. These increases the quality and authenticity of your signed fine art print.
-
Can I gift a friend your artwork?
Absolutely! If you wish to ship it directly to their homes, simply key in their mailing address during checkout. You may also leave a message for them under “Comments” during checkout.
-
Are frames provided?
Singapore | Yes
Complimentary frames (may differ from picture) are provided by default for all orders delivered within Singapore. If you do not need a frame, you may indicate under comments during check out.
Everywhere else | No
International orders do not include frames due to higher shipping costs encountered by the added weight of a frame. Your artwork arrives in a complimentary acid-free sleeve.
