Yes, that’s right, Coulson Macleod is one today!

The idea to sell art popped into our heads just over a year ago. And by the 4^th March 2009 Coulson Macleod became an offi­cial business.

We launched our web­site on the 20^th, and cel­eb­rated our first sale of a lim­ited edi­tion print two weeks later. Now, in the nor­mal world of retail, two weeks would be rather a long time to wait for a cus­tomer. But at this stage you couldn’t have found us by search­ing on the inter­net. And we hadn’t advert­ised. We were ecstatic!

It’s been a bril­liant year.

We’ve shipped prints to far away lands. Aus­tralia. New Zea­l­and. Canada. And to prac­tic­ally every state in Amer­ica. Cus­tom­ers some­times buy more than one print at a time. Cus­tom­ers are com­ing back to buy more. For birth­day gifts, wed­ding gifts, or another print for their own walls.

So we’d like to take this oppor­tun­ity to thank all our cus­tom­ers. And to every­one all around the world who has taken the time to write about us. Whether you’ve just pos­ted an image of our art­work with a link back to us, or writ­ten a gush­ing wordy art­icle, we still get totally excited at see­ing our name out there.

We’ll be drink­ing a toast to our next year, which we’ve already got heaps of plans and designs for.

Cheers!

Just had some really great close-up shots of our lim­ited edi­tion can­vas print ‘Amer­ican Noise’ — and we think they look fantastic.

Our can­vas prints are fin­ished by hand, by exper­i­enced local crafts­men.  We use a nat­ural (100% cot­ton), tex­tured can­vas, com­ple­men­ted by a chunky (45mm deep) Dutch spruce frame.

Let us know what you think.

As we approach our first birth­day, we thought it was about time to add a Testi­mo­ni­als page to the Coulson Macleod website.

We asked some of our more high pro­file and cre­at­ive cus­tom­ers for their com­ments. We’ve got five lovely com­ments so far, so do check out our web­site to read them.

Of course, if you’re a Coulson Macleod cus­tomer who has a busi­ness that you’d like us to link back to, then please let us know. We’ve only been able to ask our cus­tom­ers that sup­plied a busi­ness email address so we could identify them. But we’d love to hear from you too.

Coulson Macleod now offers a per­son­al­iz­a­tion service.

Just stumbled across the works of Finnish artist Car­oline Slotte (via Lost) and instantly fell in love with her work. Car­oline reworks found objects, mainly second hand ceramics.
