I recently sold out of some of my clockwork bird prints and thought that before stocking up again I would try out something slightly different. I've had good feedback and people seem to like my bird illustrations but I was wondering if people would prefer to buy prints of the birds without text on - what do you think? Photographed above is a 5x7 inch print of my Nuthatch without text on, and below is the illustration as it is available now, with text.
If I started selling the prints without the text I would also include a little certificate...
On the certificate would be the model number and name of the bird along with a short piece about Edwin Cracknell and the print, I would hand sign each certificate too. I quite like the idea of the certificate and sending a little piece of the Hexley story with each print - especially if the prints are given as gifts and the recipient hasn't seen my work before.
If you have any feedback please let me know!
