A wealth of information in a short video. Thank you!

I found you!!!! I watched SO many of your videos back in high-school 2008-2010 and I totally forgot about them until I saw something about psychedelics recently and it unlocked a memory. I didn't want to do drugs but it was really interesting to me so I would live vicariously through you haha. I just searched "psychedelic reviews" today and eventually found you! Wow what a blast from the past. Feels like I've found an old friend haha. Hope you're doing well!

Thanks for this whole series of videos - very informative! Sharpies are not archival - it's too bad that artist you mentioned signs her prints with one.

My brain just got slammed with this important info about how to sign and print right and learning about graphite pencils being ARCHIVAL! I didn’t know they had archival pens too. I feel more and more like I’m not ready since need money for more supplies. I still can’t seem to figure out what paper is archival and best for art prints. I’ve looked at so many videos and Googled so much. You didn’t put the kind of paper you use. Can you tell me?

Great info, great delivery and very clear, entertaining voice. Gave me great ideas on how to sign, or present pieces with signatures on the bottom right. I'm still torn about how to state a size for a print that is signed - which means the actual art-image would be smaller, like say the art image is 7X10, with the 1 inch around, would make the the actual paper/print-size 9X12. So do I state the print to be 7X10 or 9X12? I like the idea of matting the signed pieces to a standard size, to make it easier for a potential buyer. Putting the buyer to go thru loops just to properly hang the artwork defeats the purpose of selling low-price prints. They would end up with a framing bill that would be much more than what they paid for the print...

@NeuroSoup Жыл бұрын

I would state both the size of the image and the size of the paper in your listings online. But for in-person sales, it is better to just tell customers the paper size so they can find a frame easily. That's what they're interested in most anyway.

Hi! Very informative vid. I was wondering, however, whether a giclee print of a painting canvas with stretcher bars should be signed and if so, how?

@NeuroSoup 6 ай бұрын

For my canvas prints, if there's already a signature on the front from the painting (that I photographed to make the print), then I go ahead and sign it on the back stretcher bars. I think most often people don't sign them on the back when they're prints, but I have found that customers really like that personalized touch.

@susanh986 6 ай бұрын

@@NeuroSoup Thank you for the quick reply!! I didn't sign the stretcher bars but used pencil on the back of the canvas to indicate it as an A/P and put the title and my signature. (I don't intend to make more prints.) That felt most right to me. Your work is so beautiful! Thanks for your wisdom and for sharing your experience.

I would like your opinion - After doing handmade art for years, I have started making digital collages which I print out on my HP printer. How do you suggest I sign them, on the image or under it? Should prints be numbered like lithographs? I will appreciate your feedback.

@NeuroSoup 6 ай бұрын

I signed my digital paintings that I make on my iPad and then print out directly onto the image of the print. But I am making open editions. If you're doing limited editions, I would sign underneath the prints so that you can number it under there as well. It just depends on whether you want to do limited or open editions.

@dhirubhaimistry339 7 ай бұрын

Please can you tell me is it better to sign at the back of the print and make comment regarding the composition

@NeuroSoup 7 ай бұрын

Are you meaning composition of the artwork in general? Or composition of where the signature is placed and how it might affect the composition of the artwork? I want to answer your question, just need some clarification :-)

@ritakoch2666 11 ай бұрын

Do you ever send out a limited edition giclee print with just the hand signature, number of prints and title WITHOUT a signature on the actual artwork? A printer I'm using suggested I sell it that way, but I'm kind of wary and confused why you'd do that.

@NeuroSoup 11 ай бұрын

From my perspective, if they are limited edition they should always have a signature
