Toast - Limited Edition of 10 Print

It doesn't matter how rich, famous, smart, fat, young, old, beautiful you get -you still love bread/toast -it's a universal language. I wanted to do something that was ubiquitous/Kiwi. Something completely unpretentious, and un-choreographed. Obviously, bread/toast is one of the staples of the Western diet -and that would take in North America, Britain, Australia...I'm not sure they have Vogel's bread everywhere (yet) but I'm sure that's only a matter of time. It's a simple salute to a staple Kiwi-classic food for decades. Also, It's an ironic take on "food photography" which I have absolutely nothing against (it is an art unto itself ~a fact of which I'm fully aware...) but It is not something that I'd like to pursue -and frankly, I don't have the patience to commit to that art, the inclination or desire. Some people live to eat -and others eat to live -I'm in the latter category and happy about it. I used to cook (professionally) as a Sous Chef, ~that's the person that does entrees and desserts, and I hated it. The hours, the pay, the pressure, ~I was doing it to keep my head above water while I was "perusing my muse" i.e.: learning to write songs/play guitar/ and build a repertoire. Later I turned to IT to get out of having to do labour, while I continued to write, and take pictures. I haven't seen food de-romanticized like this before, and that's why I like it ~it's a cutting edge take on the bread of life ;) The colors include Alloy Orange, Amber, Arylide Yellow, Black Bean, Black, Blood Red, Bronze, Brown, Bright Yellow, Burnt Orange, Cadmium Orange, and Cadmium Red and Burgundy. I love the rough textures in stark contrast to the rich red. It's an attitude, it's aesthetic, it's a vibe and it's a philosophical take on life, ~it may not be perfect, but that doesn't mean it can't be delicious.

Chromoluxe Reproductions: (Limited edition of 10 only for any of my images). Chromoluxe means two things: Durability and Definition. This exclusive edition of 10 images will be created using the new Chromoluxe aluminum printing technique for high-quality large format art. The colors leap from the surface to produce vibrant melodious images. Your investment will retain its birth-date energy and integrity. You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house). This print will be scratch-resistant, durable, and will retain the image’s vibrancy ~for a lifetime. This is 21st-century printing, high definition and literally, state-of-the-art. Very few places in the world can produce an image of this size, in this format. Not only will you have a collectible work of art, but it will be rendered in the cutting-edge format. Durable, appreciable, and gallery-quality. Side on, the print appears as a slip sheet of aluminum, from the front, the colors are glossy and intensely vivid. The panel has smoothed corners and looks sleek and elegant. (You can opt for a matte finish if you prefer). Your beautiful art will be carefully packaged in a custom-made box with plenty of protection for shipping. Shipping is tracked and signed for as standard. Takes approximately three weeks to get ready to ship. *(The estimated weight is based on Canvas Gallery Wrap 1.5" deep with 1 Layer of Resin). Shipping costs will vary with the material's weight, I will provide you with an accurate quote prior to your order.
