Do you post framed prints? 

Due to the additional weight and subsequent carbon footprint we are not currently shipping framed prints. 

Feel free to get in touch if you are looking to have your print framed as we may be able to put you in touch with some great framers around the country.

Yes, we ship all over the world. Shipping costs are calculated at Checkout. If you require further information regarding international shipping please feel free to drop us a line at: hello@studiobirdfineart.com.au and we will do our best to answer your queries. 

Do you take commissions?

As a new business with lots to do to get up and running, we are not currently accepting commissions at this stage but aim to start taking private commissions in late 2021. Please feel free to touch base any time for further information and to discuss your ideas and requests. 

How long does it take to complete a drawing?

This, of course, is dependent on the size of the drawing.  Most drawings, like Ndovu and Kifaru (the Elephant and Rhino portraits) are drawn as A2 originals, taking up to 130 hours to complete. Smaller drawings, such as the Highland Cow, an A3 original, can take around 50 hours.  This said, most drawings from start to finish, stretch out over several weeks due to a rivalling to-do list which generally breaks the flow of ink.

Where do you start when embarking on a large scale drawing full of dots?

Often, right in the middle.  Unlike many, very methodical realist artists who start at one side of the page and systematically work to the other side (and I take my hat off to them for their dedication and methodology), I tend to start with the darkest areas to make a quick impression on the page. The drawing process then gradually slows as the darker shades and shadows are achieved and delicate highlights and fine details come into play. 

Do all those tiny dots make you squint?   

Yes they do.
