Below are some helpful guidelines and information to better assist anyone interested in purchasing artwork from this site:

An original drawing is one produced with charcoal, conte, or pencil on acid free paper.

A giclee print is an archival ink print on acid free watercolor paper, and it has a lightfastness rating of more than 70 years.

 

1 . Original drawings are available unless otherwise noted. An original is the piece as it is finished on the drawing board then signed and fixed with a light coat of fixative to help prevent disturbance of the media. My drawings incorporate a large amount of charcoal and additional media that should be given great care when handling due to its fragile nature. Also, my method that I use to create the drawings produces small noticeable marks and lines that are only visible upon very close inspection. I maintain these marks, knowing that it gives each piece a uniqueness and “aged” quality which I have come to appreciate and enjoy.

Originals are sold on a first-come basis. If two orders are received, I will give priority to the first one received, and the second order will be completely refunded if paid electronically, or the money will be returned (money order, check..etc.) through the mail.

Also, please note that images on the computer screen may vary when compared to the work in person, especially when dealing with a reduction drawing or a pencil drawing.

2. Payment options are as follows. Currently, I am accepting money orders, personal checks, bank drawn cashiers checks, and Credit Card payments only through a Paypal account. If you do not have a paypal account you can easily create one after adding an item to your shopping cart. I highly recommend it. Paypal is fast, very secure and easy.

Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days.

Also, please allow an additional time of 7-10 business days if paying by personal check. Checks should be made payable to Mark Reed, and all checks or money orders must be drawn on U.S. banks and in U.S. funds.

3. Shipping fees are set per item. I use two price points for the shipping fees based on the size of the work, and all prices listed on this website include all shipping fees---postage and tracking. Although tracking is not available for orders outside of the US.

The base fee that has already been added to the artwork you purchase is below:

Printed work will be sent rolled in an industrial grade acid-free shipping tube with sufficient inside protection added to protect the artwork.

Original drawings are packaged flat with sufficient inside protection, and are insured with the USPS for complete value.

*Postal tracking is included with all orders, except those outside of the US. Your tracking number will be emailed after item is shipped.

*Postal insurance is included only with original drawing orders.

4. Returns of all work are accepted. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your purchase please know that it is returnable and that it must be in the same condition it was received by you. No shipping expenses will be refunded concerning this type of return.

Shipping fees will only be refunded on works damaged during shipping.

If you decide that you simply do not like the piece, then the shipping will not be refunded after you return it and neither will the additional shipping expense of sending the piece back to me.

5. Returns of damaged works. If your purchase was damaged during shipping I will exchange or refund it for you. Upon receiving the damaged one back, I will send out a replacement and personally cover any additional shipping expenses. If you do not want a replacement, I will then refund your complete order plus additional shipping once the damaged work is returned to me.

Again, this is only for a piece damaged during shipping and I should be contacted immediately about damaged goods from shipping.

All original artwork will be fully refunded once the damaged original is returned to me. This refund will include cost of the work plus your additional shipping expenses. If you are returning a damaged original you can choose to have a print sent to you if it is available. The difference of the original cost versus the print cost will be refunded to you as well as your added shipping expense.

*Any prints or originals accidentally damaged by the buyer from unforseen acts or situations will not be refunded or exchanged.

6. The return policy applies to both Giclee prints and originals.

7. After thirty (30) days of purchase no artwork is returnable for any reason including shipping damage.

8. Purchasing any work from this site is an automatic acceptance of this return policy.
