We have now done a full inventory of all Limited Edition prints and have updated the PRINT SHOP. Â I have 7 Mad Hatter (now only 4) Â and 3 Skull Mask prints of Ville left – that were set aside for an exhibition – which have now become available. Â That is it for both print runs. Â Once they are gone, they are gone! Â I have added a beautiful shot of Cristina from Lacuna Coil from the Holborn Studios shoot where we really did smash an 8ft piece of toughened glass. Â It is 20″x16″ Â and printed on the most incredibly vibrant 260g Satan paper. Â This is a new material for me which I am using on a few select images which suit the style. Â I have used the same material for a portrait I shot of the late Sir Christopher Lee which again is just breath taking! Â Sir Chris and Cristina are both strictly Limited Editions of only 50 20″x16″.
I also have Ozzy, Â Avenged Sevenfold, Slash, Ghost, Slipknot, Greenday and a few Foo Fighter editions that have all been worked on so they are stand alone pieces of art to hang on your wall.
These aren’t just regular photo prints! What I am trying to do is bridge the gap between photography and fine art by only using select images that will work well on display and using materials similar to that of a screen print or etching.
The process from original image to final artwork is time consuming and often difficult.  Each image is test printed adjusted and test printed again by a professional print house in West Sussex (http://kangarooz.co.uk) under my supervision until I am totally happy with the final artworks.  Once approved the Limited Edition is printed, numbered, signed and stored in a temperature controlled environment until sold.  The prices in the PRINT SHOP vary on size, paper used (either satin or GICLEE 100% Cotton, Acid free) and the quantity remaining in the Limited Edition.  Each print is wrapped in protective paper -with its certificate of authenticity and sent recorded, signed for delivery(worldwide) in a heavy duty protective postage tube.  All UK orders P&P are free and international orders are charged a flat rate.
I will be producing a Metallica edition with James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett in the coming months.  I have also been experimenting with hand made photographic paper and the results are stunning – each print is totally unique.  The process is very time consuming and difficult using real silvers to sensitise the paper and real gold to tone the prints.  I will try a few more tests over the coming weeks and display them here first before making a decision on whether to produce a very small print run.
SLIPKNOT – NINE (TEST PRINT ABOVE – COMING SOON!)
Thanks to everyone who has purchased a print.  I really hope you love them as much as I do. If you have been thinking about buying some art and have space on your wall for something truly unique and different then I hope you consider investing in one of my prints.
Thanks and I’ll be back with more updates soon!
