I am going to do a reprint tomorrow and mail the new ones to the people who had bought one of this print. I would also like to post one out to you when the new ones are made as way of thanks.

Fail from Leo too. "C'est ne pas une pipe" doesn't sound French at all.
As for why Translation tool translate this to BJ, the "ne pas une pipe" in French doesn't exist unless you add "faire" ("to do"), "ne pas faire" is common in French so AI are silently adding "to do" to the common "ne pas une".
Fuck sake Google got it all wrong, even "Ce n'est pas une pipe", only "Ceci" returns the right translation - translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=Ceci%20n%27est%20pas%20une%20pipe.%0ACe%20n%27est%20pas%20une%20pipe.%0AC%27est%20ne%20pas%20une%20pipe.&op=translate

Three issues here:
a) the overuse of capital letters (sorry we don't that in French);
b) the use of the English straight single apostrophe (') instead of the French curly one (โ);
c) it misses the end dot; since it is a sentence with subject, verb and complement, end dot is required.
Just like Magritte did. All good otherwise!

Good bit of pedantry there.
But, to answer with a bit of pedantry of my own.
This sign is designed using international standards in sign design. The capital letters were designed by Kinneir and Calvert in the 60s (I think) that mix capital and lower case to make reading the signs easier at a distance.
Signs also don't have full stops. If they did they would look weird.
And finally, I am not sure that helvetica has a curly apostrophe but again I think it would look weird in this kind of sign

A while back I worked with my art studio to create a newspaper that told the story of who we are/what we are/and where we were going. Having lost an almost perfect building it was a pretty traumatic time for our studio so I tried to put this forward in a way that wasn't all doom and super gloom.
Anyhoo this newspaper is now for sale on the new studio website and all proceeds from the sale go towards funding our not for profit to do things like put on events and exhibitions n what not.

The next project I am working on is to build some sculptures for a art crazy golf thing so stuff I learnt here should come in handy. I am also doing a bit of research about using motors to get some of these 2D/3D cut outs to have moving parts... so if anyone has any knowledge of that I would love to hear it.

Around this time last year we were getting ready to move studio from Tower Street and we ran an Everything Must Go sale which made the actual move so much easier. But my studio in the new space is a good bit smaller (and just as untidy) as the last place and I need to get rid of some old art so that I can make some new art (more on this in the week) and thus it is sale time again!
This sale covers everything on my site (including work already on sale) and as the week goes on I will keep adding art works as I find them in my studio.
If there is something particular that you want that you canโt find on my site send me a DM and Iโll see if I can sort you out.
I have also made these rather attractive designs.

1. There is a risk of unintentionally coming across as a bit narcissistic, given the number of self‑portraits in your studio.
2. Minor typo corrections:

(ii) query whether the McCloud book referred to should instead be, Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art (1993).
