We are husband and wife team Richard and Judi. We live in beautiful Dorset where Richard paints in his studio at the bottom of our garden. His work is inspired by vintage travel posters of the 1930's with some 50s influences and often include classic cars and have a retro art deco feel. From these paintings Judi creates high quality Giclee prints and posters on 100% cotton, all the prints are done in-house (literally!). Our images are not photoshopped to perfection, we want you to see the imperfect textured effect of the canvas, the brush strokes, the highlights and lowlights - after all nothing in life is perfect and we prefer things that way!

Richard and Judi, the print of Studland arrived safely yesterday and I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with it - and also to congratulate you on your very professional service. Excellent work.
All the best Mark Vickers
Hi Richard, we had only seen screen shots of the pictures on your website at the time of our order, however, they look absolutely fantastic in real life! We were stunned when we opened up the rolls, very happy with all of the pictures, really good to see the detail & love the quality, variety and choice of colours. You've got a great talent! Excellent packaging and service, much appreciated.

Dear Richard Thank you for the Mudeford print that arrived today. My parents used to take my brother and I every year and we stayed in a beach hut. I took my own children this weekend to visit (all hugely unchanged!) and your picture is the perfect reminder of somewhere special.
Kind regards Ally
