Artwork description:

This is a very limited edition linoprint that I was commissioned to undertake earlier this year for a landmark birthday. It's of Adam Ant, a hugely charismatic pop star from the 1980s, and a definite heart-throb of teenage girls (and, no doubt, a few boys) of the time!

This is a reduction linoprint using four shades of grey. This is a limited edition reduction linoprint. Reduction linoprinting begins with carving a design into a new lino block and printing the first colour on each sheet of paper in the edition. I then carve more of the same block away and proceed to print the second colour. The process of carving and printing continues for each additional colour until the final layer is printed. Typically, one prints from lightest to darkest colour. After completion of the print, another edition can never be made because the block has been carved away during the creation process. As it is handprinted there can be minor variations in colour and density between prints.

Handburnished on Fabriano 200gsm paper using Schmincke and Caligo Safewash inks.

DELIVERY INFORMATION
In order to avoid trips to the Post Office, I shall be arranging for delivery to be via courier (not Hermes!) and shipping charges will reflect this. As prices will vary depending on the purchaser's location, if the actual shipping price is less than that charged, I will refund the difference. I am happy to arrange collection.

IMPORTANT - Rather sadly I've decided that, following Brexit, I can no longer sell my artwork to purchasers in the EU. The customs/VAT regulations are an absolute nightmare and I don't want to risk purchasers having to fork out a lot of unforeseen extra money when taking delivery, and even if I agree to pay Customs and VAT upfront before sending out, the red tape involved just looks horrendous.

I will still be selling to customers outside the EU as there's been no changes there so everything remains the same. My apologies, all I can say is that I voted to remain.

For international buyers please note that import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the price of this artwork or shipping costs. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
