These captivating pieces aren’t just for labels—they’re just too good. They deserve a place of honor on your wall. Explore Paul’s catalog of artwork to find the perfect addition to your collection.

The Prints
Canvas
These canvas prints are the closest you can get to owning one of Paul’s original paintings. The prints have been meticulously color-tested and matched to the originals, ensuring a bright, vivid, and accurate canvas print. They are printed on premium matte canvas, then hand-varnished and hand-stretched in a gallery wrap style for a polished look from any angle. A hanging wire is installed on the back, making the canvas reproductions ready for display within minutes of receiving them.
Wood
If you appreciate a more natural warmth and slightly rustic look in your art, a wood print might be right for you. We carefully select a piece of 3/4″ baltic birch 13-ply for each print, with an eye for the beauty of the grain. The image is then printed using a UV flatbed printer, resulting in a vibrant art piece with the subtle wood texture showing through. With the included hanging brackets, you can enjoy Paul’s artwork on your wall lickety split!
Metal
If sleek and modern best suits your personal environment, then one of Paul’s paintings on a metal print is the perfect choice. We use a UV flatbed printer on Dibond® Butlerfinish® Brushed Metal to create prints with amazing vibrance and durability. The brushed metal surface adds a nice texture to that metallic gleam. With the addition of picture lighting, you’ve got a true eye-catcher. And of course, we provide hanging brackets for easy mounting.
