Thanks for all your emails and notes. We really appreciate updates on your shows, sales and other successes.

Digital artist Andrew Wilkinson of Uxbridge, who recently made the long trek to our studio so he could watch the whole giclée process and get some advice, contacted us soon after to say,

“I took my first prints into a Chiswick framer (Esmond Robinson, 250 King Street). I’d never been in before, but have always admired their work in the window as I strolled past. So I decided to try them.

“I was fortunate that the Manager was there, and when I showed him my prints he went, 'Wow!' He really loved the one called 'Mine!' and was so impressed that he said he would frame my prints for free, as long as he could have one for himself! It really made my day.”
