acquisition
Although the primary aim of this website is to display my art to a wider audience acquisition of a print is possible. At the Apostrophes' Cafe exhibition I had in the catalogue my work labelled as S, M, L, XL which was based on t-shirt sizes. Thus, in the galleries each artwork will be labelled a size. I have to declare that over time the prices will probably rise but as a starting point here are the present costs in Australian dollars:
Small (S): $AUD 45; Medium (M) $AUD 65; Large and Extra Large (L) & (XL) $AUD 85.
There will also be additional costs such as domestic/international postage/packaging.
- IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT FOR THE MOMENT PRINTS ARE ONLY BEING 'PRODUCED ON DEMAND'.
- PLEASE DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY USE PAYPAL FOR PURCHASE OF ETCHINGS. PLEASE MAKE CONTACT WITH THE ARTIST FIRST. THANK YOU.
At the bottom of this page is the PayPal button that can be used to eventually make a payment. The sort of PayPal button that I am using is the Donation button which means the purchaser will put in the required amount depending on what sort of etching will be purchased. Thank you.
There will be some exceptions to this general price range and I will make the visitor aware of such exceptions in the gallery. For instance I have one small work '...still the sky is blue...' that involves two colours (blue & black) and will set the cost at $AUD 55. Using two colours involves considerable more labour and skill to produce. There are a handful of other works which in my judgement are 'superior efforts' that deserve consideration of a higher cost. I will develop a list of such works at the bottom of this page.
There is also the matter of printing sets of etchings such as three to make a triptych or a set of two (diptych) etcetera and in that case the price would be negotiated so it would be a little cheaper to purchase all three prints as 'one work'.
Also any print unavailable will be denoted with a N/A (not available). Prints are usually unavailable due to the poor condition of the plates or because they have been misplaced.

It has been pointed out to me that my prices are low but - for instance - from what I have seen on display in some print galleries the average market value of most medium size prints by 'unknown' printmakers is approximately $100. I consider myself to be an unknown. Any potential buyer should also realise that about 30% of that $100 of a commercial print in a gallery/shop goes to the gallery owner/art dealer which means that the artist is only receiving $70 so with that in mind I have set my prices at a somewhat similiar price range. Thank you.

pdf downloads...
I should also note that there could be the possibility of directly downloading reproductions of etchings at a nominal price which could then be printed out on appropriate quality acid free art paper using an inkjet/colour laser printer. Also for some etchings that can no longer be printed a download reproduction could be a reasonable alternative; even though an original print would be preferable. Presently, for further information - or explanation - on this matter you may freely choose to email the artist.
