Launching the Limited Edition Prints Section

I’ve spent the past couple of months building a new section of my website: Limited Edition Prints. The first series, The Mariner’s Dreams, is now available in tiny numbers — four small, three medium, two large, and a single XL edition. Each work is museum‑grade, printed on archival paper, mounted on aluminium, and hand‑signed. Their price reflects the uncompromising materials, the painstaking craft, and above all their rarity. The rarity is absolute: once claimed, these works are gone forever.

Introduction

For the past couple of months, I’ve been working behind the scenes to build a new section of my website: Limited Edition Prints. It has taken careful planning, attention to detail, and a lot of late nights, but I’m delighted to finally share it with you. This marks a new chapter in my practice — one that balances the creation of new art with the opportunity for collectors to own something truly rare.

Why Limited Editions Matter

Limited editions are not simply another way of printing photographs. They are museum‑grade works, produced in strictly limited numbers and accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Once an edition is sold out, it will never be reprinted. That scarcity is part of the value: when you acquire one, you’re joining a very small circle of collectors who hold something permanent and irreplaceable.

The Craft Behind Each Print

Every limited edition is created with uncompromising attention to detail. Prints are produced on Hahnemühle Museum Etching paper — a 350gsm natural white cotton paper chosen for its texture, depth, and longevity. Archival pigment inks ensure rich, saturated colour and fine detail that will endure for generations.

Aluminium Subframe
Mounted on rigid aluminium with a floating subframe, each limited edition print is designed for strength, stability, and a striking presence on the wall.

Each work is mounted on rigid aluminium with a floating subframe, giving strength, stability, and a striking presence on the wall. This structural integrity elevates the print beyond the ordinary, transforming it into a collectible object designed to last.

Finally, every piece is hand‑signed in pencil and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The certificate itself is also hand‑signed, reinforcing the personal connection between artist and collector. These elements are reserved for the limited editions, underscoring their rarity and permanence. They are not simply images, but crafted works of art intended to hold their place in a collection for decades to come.

The Mariner’s Dreams — First Available Series

The first series available is The Mariner’s Dreams. It is offered in four sizes, each in tiny numbers: just four small prints, three medium, two large, and a single XL edition. All are produced from master files at 12,000 × 7,500 pixels, ensuring absolute clarity and fidelity across every size. Lead time is around four weeks, with occasional extensions to guarantee flawless quality.

The Price of Rarity

Owning a limited edition print is not about paying for paper and ink — it’s about acquiring something that exists in only a handful of copies worldwide. The rarity itself is part of the value: once an edition is sold out, it will never be reprinted. Each piece carries the weight of permanence, a guarantee that your collection holds something irreplaceable.

The price reflects this scarcity, but also the uncompromising materials and processes behind each work. From archival pigment inks to museum‑grade paper and aluminium mounting, every detail is chosen to ensure longevity and significance. These prints are crafted to endure, both physically and as part of a collector’s story.

When you invest in one, you’re not just buying an image — you’re securing a place in a very small circle of collectors who hold something rare, authentic, and lasting.

Looking Ahead

Now that this section is live, I’m looking forward to spending more time making new art. More limited editions will follow as my archive grows, but The Mariner’s Dreams is where it begins. This launch is both an ending and a beginning: the culmination of months of work, and the start of a new phase in my practice.
