How do you fancy a piece of art that’s totally per­sonal to you?

Well you can, just like this lucky customer.

Based on our best-selling ‘Dec­ades’ prints, we cre­ated this one-off bespoke typo­graphic art piece called ‘40 Things To Love About…’

Isn’t it great?

Our bespoke paper prints are prin­ted onto a lovely heavy-weight 350gsm uncoated fine art paper with a tex­tured fin­ish. And they are pro­fes­sion­ally framed too, by Fine Art Trade Guild framers. Just to prove what a pro­fes­sional job the fram­ing is, here’s the back…

Here’s our latest cre­ation; a bespoke typo­graphic art­work for Casco Con­tract­ors Inc, a con­struc­tion com­pany based in California…

This per­son­al­ised typo­graphic art­work con­sists of four prints, each one meas­ur­ing 52cm x 52cm x 8cm. We loved the idea of hav­ing four sep­ar­ate prints (like build­ing blocks) that when placed together spells out ‘if you build it they will come’. Should fill their recep­tion wall quite nicely, don’t you think?

Cheryl Osborn, the Pres­id­ent and founder of Casco fell in love with our nat­ur­ally weather-rusted steel sheets.  And she loved the hand­made reclaimed wood frames too.

And we rather love the fin­ished design.

Coulson Macleod now has a brand new web­site to make choos­ing your piece of bespoke typo­graphic art that much simpler.

Many of our typo­graphic art prints can be per­son­al­ised to your specification. We’ve grouped together our most pop­u­lar designs for you to choose from, and each style can be cus­tom­ised with your own choice of words and colour.

But it doesn’t end there…

You can also choose which of our exclus­ive hand­made frames or nat­ural base mater­i­als you want your art­work prin­ted on.

For the major­ity of our designs you can choose from solid oak, reclaimed frames, reclaimed blocks, nat­ural fab­rics, rus­ted steel, solid lime­stone, recycled paper, or canvas.

Simply pick a design and a frame and tell us what you want prin­ted, and we do the rest, res­ult­ing in a one-off piece of bespoke art­work that’s totally per­sonal to you.

For instance, if you love our ‘What Is Love?’ lim­ited edi­tion typo­graphic print (pic­tured below)…

‘What Is Love?’ by Coulson Macleod

You can now take this design and per­son­al­ise it by adding your name and date at the bot­tom (great idea for wed­ding gifts) and put the design on a choice of frames such as…

‘What’ bespoke — mater­ial print (framed)

‘What’ bespoke — on Reclaimed Tim­ber Block (in gift box)

‘What’ bespoke — Fine Art Paper Print (framed)

‘What’ bespoke — Solid Oak Print

Please ‘like’ the Coulson Macleod Face­book page to keep up-to-date with all our spe­cial offers, new col­lec­tions, and giveaways.

Do you think your work­place would bene­fit by hav­ing some new art?

Wouldn’t it be even bet­ter if this new art was cre­ated just for your business?

Coulson Macleod can do just this. Send us all your rel­ev­ant words. Use ones that pro­mote what your com­pany does, after all it will be read by all your wait­ing cus­tom­ers or cli­ents. And we turn those words into a cool piece of per­son­al­ised typo­graphic art.

What words would you use?

This is a bespoke typo­graphic can­vas print that Coulson Macleod cre­ated for a new beauty salon/clinic called Beauty Defined.

Your Coulson Macleod can­vas typo­graphic art print would be of museum qual­ity. Each print is hand-mounted and fin­ished with the finest mater­i­als by expert local craftsmen.

Your canvas-mounted print would be pro­duced using the very latest giclée print tech­no­logy. Heavy­weight 450gsm, 100% cot­ton, Bril­liance Chro­mata White premium fine art matte can­vas is used to ensure col­our repro­duc­tion and longev­ity are at their abso­lute max­imum. This can­vas is optical bright­ener agent free (optical bright­ener causes yel­low­ing over time) and has passed the Blue Wool stand­ards test for light fast­ness (up to 75 years) and is one of only a few canvases to achieve this.

Your can­vas art­work is hand-sprayed with five coats of Glam­our II Giclée Matt Var­nish to ensure max­imum pro­tec­tion and a smooth con­sist­ent fin­ish. This is a non-yellowing, water-based var­nish that enhances the col­our of pig­men­ted and ultra­chrome inks on matte media and increases res­ist­ance to image fad­ing. It also pro­tects images against mois­ture and abra­sion. The com­bin­a­tion of Glam­our II Matt Var­nish with Bril­liance Chro­mata White can­vas deliv­ers the most archival and colour-stable fine art repro­duc­tion available.

Today is a good day. Why? I hear you cry.

Well folks, we have beaten our sales record. We have sold more prints in August than in any other month in the entire his­tory of Coulson Macleod. And we’ve been up and run­ning for almost eight­een months.

We have a white­board on our office wall. Every time we make a sale we wipe off the old num­ber and write up the new one. I say we, but actu­ally I usu­ally do this, partly because my hand­writ­ing is neater, but mainly because it gives me a huge amount of pleas­ure. Every month we write down how many we’ve sold, whether they’ve been sold via Not On The High Street or through shops or if they’re bespoke and how many came via one of our adverts in Elle Dec­or­a­tion or Livin­getc.

We love our white­board. We quite often catch each other star­ing at it fondly. Because every month the fig­ures go up. And that is super exciting.

And this month, only half way through August I might point out, we’ve notched up the biggest num­ber since our records began. To let you into a secret, we only star­ted record­ing this on the board since Novem­ber, which was when we star­ted selling in ser­i­ous num­bers and the idea of a white­board sprang into our heads.

So ladies and gen­tle­men, tonight we may clink our glasses and say a little toast to our little boom­ing busi­ness that we love so much.

As well as design­ing very cool typo­graphic art col­lec­tions, we, that’s Couslon Macleod, can also cre­ate per­son­al­ized art just for you.

Just to show you some examples of our bespoke art…

This one, using our ‘Winter Trees’ as a base, was cre­ated for one of our customers…

… who then wrote us this amaz­ing testimonial,

“I’d been inter­ested in Coulson Macleod’s work after see­ing it in the press, and hav­ing dis­covered via their web­site that they also do bespoke work, I sug­ges­ted an altern­at­ive word­ing. We dis­cussed a treat­ment, I was sent an image for pre approval and five days later a fant­astic and unique piece is now hanging in our home. I could not be more delighted with the fin­ished piece of work whilst the ser­vice offered was noth­ing short of brilliant.”

Isn’t that nice?

Our bespoke per­son­al­iz­a­tion ser­vice can also be based on our rough-sawn solid oak-framed ‘Love’ prints, like this one…

All you have to do is pick a sim­ilar num­ber of words and sen­tences that you want to incor­por­ate, and we do the rest.

So if you’d love to own a one-off piece of art that has been cre­ated just for you, or you need to find a truly unique gift, then just click on Coulson Macleod. Simple.

Met a lady a few days ago who was wear­ing a rather eye-catching neck­lace. Turns out she’s a jew­eller and sells her cre­ations online at Car­oline May.

Car­oline only uses ster­ling or hill tribe sil­ver (which is actu­ally purer). She com­bines sil­ver with beads she sources from around the globe, includ­ing Swarovski crys­tal, Czech and Indian glass, and semi-precious stones.

Car­oline also designs bespoke pieces too from her stu­dio in Northamp­ton­shire, and is cur­rently work­ing on a sil­ver neck­lace with faceted emer­ald nug­gets and tourmaline drops. Hope­fully I’ll get a pic­ture of the fin­ished piece for you all to see.
