Testimonial from ImageMe Ltd

Hi Mike

It was lovely meeting you last week! Just wanted to let you know that the client came by and picked up his canvasses the next morning, and was very happy with them! He had a huge grin on his face when he saw them.

Warm regards
Lisa

We are proud to have completed a number of projects for Lisa Crandall of ImageMe over the past several months, but finally met for the first time only the other day when she came to collect her latest job. (A great pleasure to meet you, Lisa, and thanks for allowing us to share your comments about the job!)

Anyone looking for a great portrait or wedding photographer will do well to check out Lisa's website at the link above. Don't forget to ask for a canvas print - we know you'll get great quality results! ;)

Testimonial from Carolyn Robertson (no less!)

"My business partner and I are professional photographers who needed some canvas prints made for our clients. We came into contact with Giclée Print Limited and Mike who made the ordering process very simple and user friendly, not to mention the highly competitive pricing. The attention to detail and quality was fantastic. Giclée Print were more than happy to make adjustments where needed so that we got exactly what we were visualising for our clients' needs. Always quick and reliable in response and work carried out, we were able to get the canvas images to our clients promptly. Needless to say our clients were very impressed with their prints. We highly recommend Giclée Print Limited for their quality and service, thanks Mike!"

We're proud to do good work. So is Carolyn, as you can see from her splendid site, below:

We're delighted to have worked with Carolyn Robertson Photography. Generously, we were subsequently offered the testimonial above, completely without prompting or bribery (we promise!)

Core Bimey, that's good packaging!

We ship our canvas prints nationally and internationally. Hundreds of them, every year. To get them there in one piece we wrap them safely in materials (bubble wrap, double-ply corrugated card, thick brown parcel-paper, tape and "fragile" stickers, etc.) supplied by the friendly and helpful people at Core Blimey Packaging here in Auckland. We've never had a single piece packaged with these materials damaged during transit. We think that's a pretty good record. Thanks team!

Hurrah - we did it!

Thank you to the many thousands of visitors who met us at the Home Show a couple of weeks back. It was great to see so many people really interested in the great services we have to provide. It was exhausting but enjoyable work (12 hours a day on one's feet was a bit of a shock to the system!) and well worth it, we think. We've had some good sales and terrific leads as a result of the Show, so expect to be doing more of the same.

Here's our new postcard we handed out at the Home Show (about 3000 times!) Good job done in record time by Rob at Printworx in Albany, to whom we were referred by our friends Treena and Caren at Interiors Online.

Home Show Here We Come!

Well it's going to be a HUGE week for us as we tackle our first ever Home Show here in Auckland next week. It's exciting and slightly daunting all at once, but we're hoping to meet lots of interesting (and interested) people!

We only have a small space, but there will be some fine examples there of some of the services we can provide in putting your photo on canvas

As well as these there will be some beautiful large canvas prints for sale, complete with images by some of our favourite clients.

Do please come along and talk to us if you're in town during 12-16 September - we'd love to see you! We'll be on stand #545 in Hall 5, not far from the cafe. You can find out more about the show by clicking the image above, or here: http://www.aucklandhomeshow.co.nz/.

Cheetah Study on Canvas - Andrew Bignall

Andrew is one of our favourite clients - great photographer and a printmaker in his own right, he uses our service when it comes to making really large canvas prints from photos - this is of course our speciality.

We're pleased and proud that Andrew thought of us to produce his work when he donated a piece as his contribution to the SPCA Spring Ball and Auction. See his profile page and the auction lot details here, and if you're an animal lover, why not attend the ball and / or bid on the auction!?

The web can't do the image justice of course - the print is just breathtaking in real life @ 1 metre tall!

Good luck Andrew, we hope the fundraiser is a success.

Cabbage Trees Series

Not so long ago we had a request for art hire, and placed a series of Mike's photographs out at the AUT's School of Hospitality 10th Anniversary dinner. We were very pleased to receive a call the same night enquiring if the pieces could be purchased for the AUT to keep! The series was of 3 different shots of cabbage trees from Auckland's beautiful and rugged West coast Karekare beach. They are in black and white, and placed centrally in a large white background on 36" square frames - very simple, yet very striking and effective.

The images, entitled 'Whispering Trees', 'Storm Trees' and 'Cabbage Trees' are being displayed at this size in the window of The Canvas Company, at 518 Karangahape Road, Auckland City. (Many thanks to Brendan for the window space!) We welcome sales enquiries or commissions for smaller versions of these pieces. If you'd like to see them - be quick! The display is there for a couple of weeks only...

More of Mike's images are available for viewing at his gallery page here: http://www.canvasprint.co.nz/MRT/HTML/index.php

Kirsty Black - Graphic Artist

It was a pleasure to meet Kirsty Black on Saturday when she popped in to visit us for a brief visit at our stall at the Aotea Markets in Auckland (we are there every Saturday - rain or shine).

We've had a long association with Kirsty by 'remote control' - she's based in Christchurch so all dealings have been via 'phone and email over the past year - always nice to put a face to a voice!

Kirsty's wonderful designs are available in a range of delectable decor products such as paintings, ties, rugs and - of course - giclee prints. Here's a link to Kirsty's own website so you can see for yourself: http://www.kgb-folio.co.nz/giclee1.html.

We are very much looking forward to soon being able to bring to market a new range of designs that Kirsty will be custom-making for her clients. More on this later - once the range has been launched. :-)

Brian Moorhead Panoramic Landscape Prints of New Zealand

I've created a separate gallery of these so that they can be exhibited and linked-to on Trademe without breaching the listing terms which state that the auction can not link to a website with contact details or selling capability. Fairy nuff.


If you want to see them in their proper home on our sales site, they're to be found here alongside others at the Canvas Print site: www.canvasprint.co.nz.

Interiors Online Monthly Competition

We're very proud to be sponsoring this month's competition at Interiors Online, a great portal site where we have a company listing. This is a great site for vistors to find all sorts of ideas to help them beautify their home. One such way is of course with a beautiful canvas print of your own photography or art, or maybe one from our gallery. It's a great competition - and very very easy - you just have to be in to win!

Good luck...
