new online store front for Guy Denning, by colleendenning1 on Jul 29, 2012 16:26:41 GMT 1, I've set up a web-based store front for selling Guy's prints. Normally the site will be updated with a new 'Madmen and English Dogs" print every month but it gets started with three. These are all giclรฉe prints on 96 lb, cold pressed, watercolour paper. The paper size is 200 x 300 mm and the image size 124 x 167 mm. Each is blind-stamped, hand signed and numbered by Guy to a limited edition of 33. They are priced at ยฃ33 each. Post and packing anywhere works out at ยฃ20 per order.

As ever Guy has something to say on the subject ;D
"The 'Madmen and English Dogs' series is produced in tandem with a piece of writing that I started in the 1990s; the titles and motivation for all the drawings come directly from the text. The subject of the writing is both autobiographical and fictional; sometimes the two are distinct and sometimes they blend to the point where even I begin to wonder if my own memories are perhaps all just an imaginary collection of lies and justifications. Because of this, and also because I like to think I've a few more years left in me yet, the finished written piece will not be released in its entirety until after I have died. It's a personal exposition of my personal strengths and frailties in all areas. It is a history of both me and the time I've lived. Sometimes the images will be illustrative and sometimes they will be symbolic. It will deal with subjects as wildly diverse as our daily lives are. From politics to science, faith to sex, art to sport - everything that has made its influence on me to make me feel the need to record a personal response. The original drawings will remain with me as a personal record; they will not be for sale in my lifetime. The subject for my future paintings will all come from these drawings and they will, as with earlier painted work, be exhibited and available for sale."

If the French post service lowers the price of insured, tracked and signed for international deliveries, and I can find cheaper but equally protective packaging options I will be sure to pass the saving on

Good luck with these and future releases Colleen / Guy. Agree with french postal service charges, but as anyone who bought the Faith, Hope and Charity set (or was it Faith, Charity and Hope?! ) they came well packaged in a little folio of their own. Not sure what the format will be Colleen, but I would vote for that method again ... at least it stops the posties playing baseball / light sabers / excalibur with print tubes ...

new online store front for Guy Denning, by Guy Denning on Jul 30, 2012 17:39:33 GMT 1, A quick note on the P and P... We can't get it any cheaper than ยฃ20 worldwide (and in fact we're taking a slight hit when it's outside of the EU) but we can reduce the charges to deliveries in France - which we've done. I understand some people thinking it's a bit steep on a ยฃ33 print but we have recently lost a couple in the post when using a cheaper service. To be honest it brews my piss a bit when I'm doing my best to make print runs affordable that the postal charges shove the price up - so I do sympathise.

53 delivered to your door is a really good deal I think

+1 - these are good prints and a low edition of just 33. You only get charged the once for postage even if you get all 3. As I said in my last post the p&p on the Faith Hope and Charity prints was really good.
Having suffered the consequence of bent packages / dented tubes in the past, it may be a bit more, but its at least piece of mind and I think Guy should be applauded for making these still really affordable.

No paintings wiz - that's the galleries' job! But there'll be the odd older drawing or prep sketch that's been finished with. Fancy commissioning a portrait of Fletch and Godber then?!
