By now, you probably have a pretty good insight into how my brain works(?) Part of that insight is that I consider contrast and duality a massive part of what makes life interesting and a big component of forcing it to make sense.
If we didn't change, if we didn't have warring sides and opposing perspectives, growing would be hard(er), and living would, frankly, be quite dull. I incorporate those ideas into a lot of my work. Today's print is a clear example of that. Also, I've received several requests for a print with some Corvids in it, so... two birds, one... Print?
Anyway, today I bring you this fiery number. It's meant to represent the internal war between two sides, the opposing forces inside and around us, and how those sides are always tied, always apart, and eternally fighting in a constant war to claim meaning and reason.
Frequently asked questions
How are the prints made?
My Open Edition prints are printed and shipped by a partner with facilities around the world. The process and quality are the same, regardless of where the order comes from.
This allows me to offer high-quality products at great prices, all over the world, with low shipping costs. I'm just a guy drawing weird animals, so handling the logistics of worldwide printing and shipping was getting out of hand.
What’s a giclée anyway?
Giclée prints are a high-quality kind of print, made using a professional printer that utilizes a wider range of ink colours than your garden-variety inkjet printer. Some printers use up to 11 ink colours (instead of the regular 4), and this results in more vibrant and accurate color reproduction.
In other words, it’s a high-tech process that creates a kick-ass print!
The end result is a museum-quality, beautiful piece, printed on 189 g/m² matte paper. The process and the paper guarantee it will look amazing and last for a long time.
When will I get my order?
Working with a printing partner means that the printing process takes place as close as possible to the final destination of the print. That means less time from the moment you order to the moment you receive the prints and less expensive shipping for you, so that's a bonus! All around high fives! 🙌
In most cases, it'll take between 6 and 10 days for your print to get to you. Sometimes (I'm looking at you, Australia), it might take a bit longer, but it's pretty rare. In any case, you'll receive a confirmation email with a tracking link, so you'll always be able to see where your print is, snugly cocooned in rigid cardboard, flying towards you. And hey, if it takes too long, contact me, and I'll take care of it.
How are the prints packaged?
Prints below 11x14 inches in size will be shipped flat, sandwiched between rigid cardboard pieces, inside a sturdy envelope. Bigger prints will be shipped rolled in bomb-proof cardboard packaging. This ensures prints will get home safe and sound, no matter their size and destination.
And to make this whole thing as sustainable and planet-friendly as possible, I chose a minimal packaging design, while ensuring the prints get home safe and sound. It's what's inside that matters! *Cue rousing, touching music*
What if my print gets damaged in transit?
This is pretty rare, but yeah, it could happen.
If your print gets home in bad shape, don’t worry, I got you. Just shoot me an email to julian@julianrodriguez.art, and I’ll replace it, no problem. I will just ask for some images or video of the damage so I can send them to the shipping service to process the insurance.
How do I take care of my print?
Your print was printed on museum-quality paper using lightfast inks. What that means in practice is that it will be bright and last for a very long time, if you just take some precautions:
- Handle it with care, especially if its colours are dark. Oils in your hands might transfer to the paper, leaving shiny ovals and smudges all over your pretty print.
- You can hang/tape/blue-tack it, but I recommend a frame. Not only will it look 10 times fancier, but it'll be better protected.
- In line with that, if you want it to last even longer, try to keep it out of direct sunlight. No need to hang it in a dark room, but if you stick it to a window that gets full-blast sunlight 10 hours a day, it’s bound to fade a bit.
- And that's pretty much it. Don't spill wine on it, don't try to burn the edges with a cigarette, and don't draw on it with crayons. Or do. If that's your way of expressing yourself, I wouldn't want to stifle you. Just send me a photo of the finished thing!😉
