Who creates the art and where is it made?

Artists and designers Mara and Nicholas Girling create all the art and we work from our studio in Melbourne. We are also selling the Photographic works by Steven Bunton a talented photographer and close friend. We organise the prints, the post, the couriers if needed and the framing for larger artworks ourselves. When you order from us, you are directly supporting the creatives behind these artworks.

Can I buy something from you if I order it outside of Australia

Yes, we can ship internationally as well as within Australia. We post in solid mailers and also larger works are posted in solid tubes. We track orders. We do not post framed artworks as it is not worth it for you. But we can recommend styles of frames for you. For more information visit our Shipping & Returns page.

Can I order something and have it delivered internationally?

Yes. The price for shipping on international delivery zones is $20 AUD. Any local VAT taxes are paid by the receiving party.

Do you offer a framing service?

We do provide professional framing for larger size prints. For more information you may go to Printspace® framing ideas page on this website where we list the prices. On the same web page link, we have also listed a number of stores where you can find common off the shelf frames for your Printspace® art prints.

What is a great size frame for Printspace® 12x16" prints?

IKEA offer a good selection for this size. If you go for a 40x50cm IKEA frame with a mount card, typically our 12 x 16" art prints are a perfect fit when using the mount card. IKEA do have a slightly smaller frame with no mount card. We do not recommend that one. Personally, we like the one called MOSSEBO with the mount card. IKEA do not offer a 8x10" based on the time of this writing. See our off the shelf framing guide for more details.

How long does shipping take?

Please visit our Shipping & Returns page.

Will the colours match what I see on screen?

The colour of prints is represented as close to real life as possible (please allow slight variations from monitor to print.). Every monitor displays colour differently. The artists themselves do all the colour setting and checking.
