Nanuq Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 My favorite artist is Fred Machetanz. His best work is, IMO, "Face to face" a painting of a polar bear on an ice floe (see my avatar). I love that piece but the prints on paper (not giclee) go for around $3,000 if you can find one. So I commissioned one from a company that specializes in that. I had it done in oils on canvas and the end result is absolutely superb. Total price with shipping was under $300. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Seems to me that Nanqu's way would be hard to beat. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds awesome, could you share the details of this company? Not that I can actually afford anything, but there are a few paintings I would love to get repro'ed (especially Night Hawks, as I doubt I'll ever afford the original ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yeah, basically a very high resolution inkjet on canvas. At least in the case of my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
