Purchasing a Print

Interested in having a genuine Spadaro hanging on your livingroom wall?

How about a print instead?

It's not as painful.

Look on this as an opportunity to join the Rockefellers and the Gugginheims as ritzy high society patrons of the arts. Isn't it time you put yourself on the same social footing as the Whitneys and the Vanderbilts? You deserve the envy of your co-workers and neighbours; didn't you put up with little Anastasia's marimba recital last year?

But there's more! Your genuine Spadaro print will become a family heirloom bringing immense pleasure to unfathomable generations to come. Your great grand children will be devoted to the ancestor that brought the fine arts into their dull lives.

Furthermore you won't have to deal with the snooty gallery guy looking down his nose at you and pointing out that K-Mart has a closeout sale on original oil paintings this week. You can buy a Spadaro print in the comfort and safety of your very own home -- No salesman will ever call!

Buying a print is as simple as picking up a pound of coffee. All you have to do is peruse my catalog (the web site) until you find something that you simply can't live without. I know it will be hard to decide which is the most essential to your lifestyle and am therefore willing to provide you with as many prints as you need - they make wonderful Christmas gifts too. When you have made your decision, copy down the unique page name and number of the picture you want, and email me asking for availability and price. There are a few places where there is more than one picture on a page - just describe the one you prefer or mention it's position on the page. I will get back to you with the information very quickly -- very very quickly - I need a new lens.

Some of the pictures on the site are not available as prints for one reason or another. However, if you are truly interested in any picture I will do my best to accommodate you, although at times this will not be possible. For the moment everything on the site is 100% my own work, but when Gallery Two goes up I intend to include some of my Cliptoons (artwork that incorporates digital clip art - mostly from the Corel tm collection). I'm none to sure of the legal ins and outs of selling works that include clip art - but I would not be comfortable doing so -- unless I was offered lots and LOTS of money. Nothing spurs research so well as the possibility of a new lens.

The quality of the prints will usually be considerably higher than the web versions which are relatively low res jpgs. However, they can never look exactly the same as the web pictures. Each and every monitor reproduces colours in it's own unique way. Colour management is not a feature of the internet. There is also a difference between viewing prints, which reflect light and viewing a CRT, where coloured light shines through the screen directly onto the happy receptors in your eyes.

So folks, does poor Tony continue to starve in a cold, rat infested garret, or does he become the first Picasso of the twenty first century? Only you can decide.
