Prospero's Storm

I received my much loved Chinook original back on Friday from Gary (mrframeman). I was happy to leave this in his capable hands and thank god I did! Very happy indeed.
I hope you enjoy.

For anyone that missed out, Tunnadine have a £15 'photocopy' print.

There are only 15. 14 left now as I've got number 1. ;D

Each one is mounted and signed and numbered by Guy and embossed with his own blindstamp.

They might not be to everyone's taste, but £15 is not a lot. I'm sure there will be comments on photocopies, so I'll try to find and add Guy's blog comments on the 'medium' of photocopying.

Copy shop art

For too long the photocopy has been sidelined by the art establishment as either a business tool - unrelated to the craft conscious gallery environment, or if taken on board as a pseudo avant-garde tool for the conceptual arena. It is time that the photocopy as a reproductive art tool was brought alongside other established 'fine' art tools.
The celebration of the woodcut and the etching was their opening of the art marketplace's affordability; but the market stall holders have closed ranks again. A limited edition, in any one of the many accepted fine art formats, particularly if produced by a resident of the accepted art canon, can far outstrip in price a single piece painting or drawing by a 'lesser' artist.
The engraving was originally a reproductive tool of commercial use so it has no reason to rate hierarchically above the photocopy.
Accusations of the crudity of black and white photocopying are elsewhere held up as the singularly aesthetic beauty and reason of the woodcut print.
And when Polaroid photography has entered the commercial gallery streets how can we accuse photocopying of the impersonality of its mechanistic detachment from its creator.
The reason why the photocopy has not been accepted as these and other forms of reproduction is because of its absolute opposition to the elitism of the fine art gallery world.

If I can sell a limited edition print, using a photocopier, for less than the price of a pint of beer then that's progress.

Arcam, do you want me to ring and order you one as well mate?

Saying that, the price has gone now.....i paid £15 for it anyway.

You can't go wrong for £15. ;D Do I just ring them?

i don't think you guys need to panic. its been available for about 3 years (i think).

just email Leigh at Tunnadine : tunnadine@googlemail.com

and tell her the guy that bought number 1 told you about the print!!

She sometimes takes a day to answer, so don't panic too much. its only a small gallery.

I did that as well. ;D

Ha ha.

Just got an e-mail back, sorted.;D

Cheers crackawacka.
