Purchasing my work

If you pur­chase a pho­to­graph, an art print a draw­ing or an orig­i­nal paint­ing, you can con­tact me directly or buy from my Art Shop.

Pho­tog­ra­phy prints information

The pho­tographs and illus­tra­tions or prints from orig­i­nal paint­ings are printed on pro­fes­sional high qual­ity, photo paper. I use pig­mented archival inks that will pro­vide you with stun­ning Giclee prints and superb color reproduction.

The prints are guar­an­teed to last a life time with­out fad­ing under proper conditions.

They have a white bor­der all around for easy framing.

I per­son­ally print each image on a Pro­fes­sional HP printer as I sell them and check each one to ensure that you receive the best pos­si­ble qual­ity image.

The color of your prints may dif­fer slightly from what you see on your mon­i­tor. There are always a dif­fer­ence in color cal­i­bra­tion due to the type and set­tings of your mon­i­tor. My printer is cal­i­brated with my mon­i­tor so the printed image is the same as what I see on my mon­i­tor. What you receive is my intended final result.
I sign, date and title each one on the reverse.

Pay­ment

My pre­ferred method of pay­ment is Pay­pal, as it is secure, fast and accepts all major credit cards. For Euro­pean buy­ers I can also accept bank trans­fers denom­i­nated in euros (iban num­ber and swift code supplied).

For buy­ers located in Por­tu­gal bank tran­fers and cheque (has to be clear prior to ship­ping) in euros are fur­ther options for pay­ment. In these cases the price will be con­verted from dol­lars into euros via the Uni­ver­sal Cur­rency converter.

Ship­ping

I ship to world­wide des­ti­na­tions within 24 to 48 busi­ness hours upon receipt of pay­ment, from Mon­day to Fri­day. In case of pay­ing by echeck through Pay­pal I have to wait for it to clear prior to ship­ping ( usu­ally 4 busi­ness days).

All items are care­ful pack­aged to pre­vent dam­age. Your order should arrive to addresses in EUROPE within 3 to 5 work­ing days and in the case of WORLDWIDE des­ti­na­tions within 5 to 7 work­ing days.

Please be aware that delays can occur due to cus­toms, local mail, weather and other cir­cum­stances. If you feel that there is a delay on deliv­ery (more than 10 work­ing days), please con­tact me straight away because your pack­age maybe retained at your local post office.

I am required to fill out the cus­toms forms for pack­ages sent to addresses out­side Europe. You may be sub­jected to cus­tom duties or taxes that I am not respon­si­ble for.

Pack­ing

Due to the nature of the items in my shop, I care­ful pack the items using new mate­ri­als in order to pro­tect your purchase.

I don’t send out pro­mo­tions or gifts or pro­pa­ganda mate­r­ial with the pack­age. This way the costs of ship­ping are kept low.

PHOTOGRAPHS and other works on paper are wrapped in silk paper, then put on a folder made of strong card and are fur­ther pro­tected by card­board. They are then shipped in a bub­ble wrap enve­lope or, in the case of larger pho­tographs, in a strong box.

PAINTINGS are pro­tected with bub­ble wrap and card­board and then are shipped in an bub­ble wrap enve­lope or box,depending on size and sup­port. In all cases I include a receipt and a busi­ness card, unless your pur­chase is intended as a gift for another per­son or you don’t want me to. In this case please inform me.

Refunds and exchanges

I want you to be happy with your pur­chase of my art­work and if you have any con­cerns after receiv­ing your pack­age, please con­tact me in order to cor­rect any problems.
