Joker

Hosier Lane, Melbourne. When I first saw this painting it stopped me in my tracks. I thought it was a great piece of street art and I wanted to shoot it as soon as possible before someone tagged it or worse, painted over it (there are a lot of guys painting and space is limited). I was back the next afternoon and shot it from a number of different angles and thought this was the strongest (I also like having the wedding party in the background). Eventually it got tagged and painted over but not before becoming one of the most popular pieces of street art in Melbourne.

Note: Both paper and canvas prints come rolled in acid free tissue paper inside a heavy-duty mailing tube (signature is required upon delivery).

The standard sized paper prints - A2, A1 and AO - are designed to fit off-the-shelf frame sizes but for custom framing (like the panorama prints which aren't standard sizes), I'd recommend taking them to a professional framer.

The canvas prints are much harder to do yourself so should also be taken to a framer. All the canvas prints have a mirror wrap edge (sometimes called gallery wrap) which means the image appears to continue around the side of the frame but it's actually a copy of the image, as if the image were held against a mirror. This way none of the image is 'lost' around the side, it just looks that way.

If you have any questions about the prints, the images or anything else, I'm always available through the contacts page.
