World Book Day 2021 - #iPhoneonly Book and Print Offer

March the 4th 2021 is World Book Day.

So, I’m running an #iphoneonly book and print offer. This time around I’m offering a pair of prints from photographs made in Glen Etive, N.W. Scotland, in the December of 2012.

‘Frozen River Etive’ was made while on my first trip to the glen, along with ‘Glen Etive Shed’ a picture of one of Scotland’s most iconic sheds, with its infamous bicycle, the whole scene covered in a magical layer of hoar frost. Sadly the shed has since collapsed and the original bicycle, seen in the photograph, was bizarrely stolen and then replaced by another.

The prints are made on a beautiful Platinum Cotton 305gsm stock, and are numbered, initialed and embossed. Paper size is 202 mm x 140 mm.

The signed book and prints are priced at £30.00, plus shipping to your region. To order the book and prints, simply click here and yes... we ship worldwide.

If you are undecided, then please don’t feel pressure… the offer will stay open until 100 have been sold.

Below is what remained of the shed in November of 2017, along with the replacement bicycle. I believe it has now completely collapsed.

Anniversary #iPhoneonly Book and Print Offer

It's the anniversary of my #iPhoneonly book, so I’m running a book and gifted print offer for anyone who purchases the book between May 10th and June 10th, 2018.

Unlike previous offers, this time around I’m offering a selection of paired prints from photographs made in a variety of locations. These include Glen Etive, Glen Orchy, Lochan na h-Achlaise, Loch Tulla and the leafy lanes of Hertfordshire.

The prints are made on beautiful Hahnemühle Bamboo 290gsm stock, and are numbered, initialed and embossed. Paper size is 202 mm x 140 mm.

The signed book and prints are priced at £25.00, plus shipping to your region. To order the book and prints, simply click here, and yes.. we ship worldwide!

North Northwest Beginnings - Show Catalogue

The North Northwest Beginnings show catalogue, designed by Jamie Milnes of Double Underscore, was produced to accompany Julian’s first solo show, back in 2012. 

From the original print run of 500, there are now just over 50 of these beautifully produced books left.

The technical specification of the book was very important, as we wanted to achieve the finest print quality to echo that of the show’s archival pigment print work.

The cover is 380 Micron Horizon Pulpboard with embossed artists seal, with interior pages on 200gsm Satimat. The book was printed using a Sublima hybrid non-uniform dot. The screen resolution is 280 lpi which boasts a higher definition than the 175lpi, normally used by printers. Images were sampled at 360dpi at the final printed sized to maximise the use of this higher quality printing technique.

The catalogue is 210mm x 210mm and consists of 24 pages. Each catalogue is signed.
