Hi everyone, making some good headway on image capture and reproduction now (as well as starting the Nimbus painting tonight).
Below are photos of the first full-size proofs (roughly trimmed - ignore the border size), these are printed on the same stock as the final items, a 315gsm fine art paper. To give you a point of reference, this is a similar weight to most business cards, or about 4 x the thickness of most office printer paper (70-80gsm). This thickness of stock will still roll for despatch in a large diameter cardboard tube.
The second 3 photos show some edited extracts that were used for working on colour balance - it's good to see them against the originals and see how accurately the colours match the originals, which is not always the case. So as well as seeing the composition, drawing and painting process, you are getting to see some of the production process too - I hope that is interesting and illuminating for most of you!
SIZES
Throughout the sharing of this process with you I've mentioned size a few times and I am currently proposing two sizes:
36" x 36" print size with approx 1.5" white border (915mm x 915mm with approx 40mm border)
24" x 24" print size with approx 1" white border (610mm x 610mm with approx 25mm border)
It would be really helpful if you could advise your preference; 36" x 36" requires a good size wall space, bearing in mind that no painting should be squeezed into a space - it needs clear space around it and also enough room for you to stand back and take it in properly. For those of you with good size man caves or garages that should not be an issue!
Next info to follow will be pricing and info on signed and numbered limited run qtys, in the meantime if you have any questions pop them in here or DM me of you prefer.
