North Shore Home Show 2008

We thoroughly enjoyed our time (first time!) at the North Shore Home and Garden Show. A big thank-you to the hundreds of vistors to our stand. Well over 600 of you now have our contact details, so we hope to hear from you soon to create a beautiful canvas print from your photo or artwork!

Citizens and [NOT] Ratepayers

It's a quirky name for an exhibition, but when you see the subjects it will all make perfect sense! Photographer Charles Lynch has put together a collection of some of our more remarkably-difficult-to capture locals. The beautifully observed and photographed images have been given the GPL treatment and the results are - we think - quite stunning. If you've an interest in NZ's natural history, then this charming exhibition will be right up your alley.


Charles won first and second places in the nature section of the Auckland Photographic Society competition for two of the images on show here, and he's won other divisions since then, so he's a talent to watch for. Check out the exhibition and see what we mean.

Great Idea: Idealog; Great Art: Imagenation

We found Idealog through our friends at ImageNation, who had a tremendous article published about them in this enjoyably crafted magazine.

(Of course we had to get a copy of that issue in print, as it's always nice to see one's own work "out there". We're enormously proud of our association with the eponymous Brothers in Art so felt a wee thrill of excitement to see what we've helped to produce get the recognition it deserves.)

In an effort to grow our profile in the arts community, we decided a listing would be useful - and here it is in all it's functionally informative glory.

We received an enquiry in the first week, so that's not bad. If nothing else, we're subscribed to the weekly Idealog mail out, which is always enjoyable. The writing is fresh, intelligent and humorous. Just like us! Probably why we like it so much.

If you're a designer, photographer, artist or creative person (or just plain interested) you'll enjoy the read. Check it out. But not before considering buying a print of your work!

The Art of Surfing Exhibition 8th February - 2nd March 2008

We strongly recommend that those of you who enjoy art, or surfing (or both!) head out to Estuary Arts Centre at 124B Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa, Auckland and check out "The Art of Surfing - an exhibition of our coastal environment".

The exhibition has been put on by Orewa Longboard Club, just 'across the road', and features some very fine works in mediums as diverse as shell jewellery, aluminium, sculpture, oil and acrylic paints, screenprints on board, and of course our favourite - large beautiful photos on canvas.

The canvas prints that are there we know are beautiful, because we made them! We're proud to have helped to put together the portfolios of two of the exhibitors, each with unique vision and approach to the presentation of their art. Each is mentioned briefly below - we really hope you get along and check out the work of these very talented guys.

Alan Ashworth of Inyaface Images, pictured here on opening night with his lovely wife Gillian and his stunning exhibition pieces is a long-time client. Al is the driving force behind the publication of Slide Magazine, which we are proud to provide scanning and image preparation services to. Even if you're not interested in longboard surfing this is a beautifully put together publication - grab a copy today!


Mike & John of Caught on Radar are also clients who offer a great service through their site, including superb prints, of course.

Like we say - the exhibition is well worth visit if you enjoy soaking up other people's talents and looking at beautiful things. Pick a print from one of these guys and you'll have a great addition to your home that you'll treasure for years.

Aloha!

Testimonial from Harley Betts Photography

We've done a number of prints for Harley Betts Photography over the past months and we're delighted to say that this has developed into another full-time preferred supplier relationship for us.

Below is an example of just one of the stunning New Zealand images you will find if you browse the galleries on Harley's site. This is followed by a testimonial about our work.

"Your canvas prints are superb! Once I saw how great photos looked as canvas prints, I was hooked -- I now have two canvases for my own walls, and have started offering canvases from Giclée Print Limited to all my clients as an addition to my usual range of landscape prints. Your responsiveness and professionalism are great and I'm really pleased to have you as my preferred supplier of canvas prints." - Harley Betts.

It's a delight to work with such awesome landscape pieces. All Harley's images are shot on medium format film and processed via extremely high resolution scan to produce work of sublime quality. Anything but the best possible quality canvas printing would be a disservice to these images, so we're proud to have been selected to work with Harley in this way.

Harley's images are now available as Fine Art Canvas Prints directly through his website by browsing the many galleries and placing an order!

You can read about them and even see a photograph of one of the first pieces we did for Harley last year here on Harley's Fine Art Prints page (scroll down to the Canvas Prints section).

Needless to say we're pretty stoked to be working with an artist of Harley's calibre.
