Information on my Shop!

Alright, so I just got a message this morning from VistaPrint confirming that my order has been printed and shipped, and that the estimated date of arrival is on the 28th of December. Ordered it on the 13th, so assuming I got it on the 28th, that would make 16 days as opposed to the 21 day option that I picked. Not too shabby.

Etsy Shop Info:
printing services and pricing

In other news, theres been some interest among a couple of people of having my Ladies series printed and sold to them! I'm really happy about this as I've been working hard and as a professional illustrator, it's always nice to see when other people admire what you've put so much time and effort into. I plan on having several different options on my etsy site, but think i'll go ahead and list what im planning here.

Firstly, if its on the site, you can get the image in any of these formats, even if its not specifically listed as such. All one has to do is ask, and it shall be done, lolz. Okay! So for the products, keep in mind this is not a complete list, simply a list of various products I plan to have available:
  • Bookmarks
  • Magnets
  • Giclee Prints
  • Poster Prints
  • ACEOs
  • Stationary

Okay, so to explain, as im sure some of you are looking at this list and wondering what some of them are...

Giclee Print

Fine art prints are very popular with artists who need to reproduce their artwork to sell at shows or galleries. Please note that fine art prints are often referred to as Giclee Prints, and are high quality prints of the product. Somerset Velvet Giclee, which I use for my shop, have the authentic "look and feel" of high quality watercolor paper and are produced with Somerset Velvet paper and Epson Ultrachrome professional archival inks, so your product won't fade.

Sizing and prices are as follows:

4 x 6 - $8.00

5 x 7 - $10.00

8 x 10 - $20.00

8 x 12 - $27.00

11 x 14 - $40.00

ACEOs

ACEOS is a short way of simply saying Art Cards, Editions, and Originals. As stated by a fellow illustrator, "They bring original art into the grasps of all art collectors at an affordable price" -- Most of what I intend to be selling are Editions, which will all be signed, dated, and numbered. ACEOs are printed in a 2.5 x 3.5 format, and are the size of traditional trading cards, making them perfect to collect or trade. Pricing varies and will be set accordingly for each piece according to size, number of prints, or if its an original.

Poster Prints

Poster prints are an alternative I offer to Giclee prints for those who would like the art, but maybe looking for something a little cheaper. This is a service I will offer for any of my pieces. These images are printed on a professional laser printer using smooth acid-free paper. The resulting image in vivid and beautiful like a Giclee print, but without the watercolor texture. Its a wonderful, afforable alternative to a Giclee, and look fantastic framed.

8.5 x 11 - $10.00

11 x 14 - $15.00

12 x 18 - $20.00

16.20 - $25.00

20 x 30 - $30.00

Larger sizes are available, but pricing changes and will need to be discussed.

Stationary

This portion will include postcards to start with, but will expand into notepads and paper sets in time. The postcards will all come with envelopes, which will be (for the most part) 100% recycled brown envelopes, which you're welcome to decline should you have other options you'd like to consider. In some cases, certain designs will be placed on the envelopes to cordinate them with a series (for example, the Ladies of Wonderland come with tea party stamped envelopes).

I hope that helps with those of you looking to make a purchase. If theres something you want or need, message me and i'll be sure to get back to you. Thanks for looking!
