INFORMATION

All artwork is digitally and individually printed in the USA. As opposed to mass-production offset typography, digital printing is ideal for producing high-quality unique prints with fine details and vibrant colors.

The murals can be ordered in different sizes as the work, after initial sketching, is created digitally in high resolution (please see details below from page 1 #103 "Concert"; the detail on the right is a section of the encircled area of the image to the left).

Although these compositions are not a limited edition, the customizing offers a choice for a unique piece of artwork. Note: the artist reserves the right to reject some changes if found not harmonious to the original artwork.


DONATIONS to children hospitals, day care centers, pre schools and schools of your choice are great! Your name will be printed at a lower corner with text edited by you. There is no charge for the text.


ABOUT RETURNS. All work is custom made. The dimensions under each image are written mainly to provide information about the proportions. When the proof sheet is accepted, the artwork is not returnable, as it is made to client's specifications.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT SIZE OF MURALS SHOULD I ORDER?
Because all prints are custom made, the size is unrestricted but not all images are visually suitable for excessive enlargement. However, compositions including many figures would be especially enhanced when enlarged.


WHAT WOULD BE THE FINISH OF THE PAPER?
After printing with archival inks and final coating applied, the paper has a luster finish.


IS THE PAPER PRE-PASTED?
The paper is not pre-pasted. List of recommended products for hanging is sent with each package. The customer has a choice to frame the images, so pre-pasting in many cases would be unnecessary.


CAN I ATTACH THE MURAL ON THE WALL BY MYSELF?
Although each print comes with detailed instructions of how to be attached directly, it is advisable to hire a professional wallpaper installer if the print is large. If you order a mural that runs up to 4' wide, its length could be much larger than a standard wallpaper rolls.


WHAT IS THE TYPE OF PAPER?
A flame resistant paper, certified as a commercial Type II wall covering is used, which is easy to clean and maintain. The paper is latex-saturated, similar to vinyl-coated paper which could be removed if the recommended wall preparation and pastes are applied.


WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY FINISHED MURALS? The murals are not in stock. Each print will be made according to client specification. It is usually shipped within two weeks after proof approval. In general, allow four weeks for delivery.

AT WHAT HEIGHT TO MOUNT THE PRINTS
Please consider positioning larger prints on the wall about 3 feet from the floor. This is the area that is usually exposed to more damage from walking, playing, etc.


USE OF POSTER TAPE
If you are not sure about exactly where to place a larger composition, you can experiment using a removable Double-stick Scotch® Poster Tape. Cut square sections of it and place it on the back corners of the print and if needed, on more places close to the edge. After you are satisfied with its location, mark the corners of the print by using Scotch® Blue Painter Tape, or any other type of removable tape and detach the poster tape (which is transparent) carefully from the wall. It does not leave residue on the paper or on the wall.
