The aesthetic & technique kinda remind me of Brett Amory. Nice :pint:

Alpay was a pleasure to work with. He's based out of Germany and we shipped the prints there and back in order to be signed.

Here's a few more pieces of his, as well as some from his bird series that I thought some EBers may enjoy.

We started using a (roughly) 1/8" border a few years ago for Audrey Kawasaki's releases. The artist signs in the image area (in this instance Alpay signed in white in the bottom left - the photo of him holding it was taken before he signed them). This allows the customer to frame the print with the edge of the frame flush with the edge of the image mimicking the look of a framed original (see photos below). Though if you prefer a white border, you would still be able to matt it as well. It also gives you a little something to grab onto so you're not touching the inks when you handle the print.

prefer artist sign in the image and not boarder. prints always look better if you frame the boarder out.

We're ahead of schedule and have already started shipping. Once your order mails out you should received an automated email with your tracking number. We're hoping to have all orders mailed out in two more weeks or less.
