The Jamie Oliver Found­a­tion once again held their annual fun­draiser ‘A Big Night Out With Jamie’.

And once again Coulson Macleod was delighted to be involved.

Shored­itch Town Hall. Venue for ‘A Big Night Out With Jamie’ 2011

Coulson Macleod’s bespoke print designed for ‘A Big Night Out With Jamie’

And once again our bespoke typo­graphic print was won by David Ellender, Global CEO of Fre­mantle Media who paid the final bid of £950 in the silent auc­tion. Last year David won the bid on another bespoke print we designed for the same event, pay­ing £1,100 for it. He’s obvi­ously a man of impec­cable taste.

And once again we received Jamie’s latest recipe book. This time it was ‘Jamie’s Great Bri­tain’, signed by the man him­self, of course. And a lovely thank you let­ter. Jamie said they raised £135,000 on the night. Which is pretty impress­ive in these fin­an­cially leaner times.

The Jamie Oliver Found­a­tion also emailed us to say, “We want to thank you very much for your end­less sup­port. It def­in­itely would not have been pos­sible without your gen­er­ous donation.”

We do this through teach­ing, train­ing and employ­ment, and also by mak­ing good clear inform­a­tion avail­able to as many people as possible.”

Coulson Macleod bespoke typo­graphic art has been fea­tured in the 100^th issue of Wed­ding Ideas magazine.

Wed­ding Ideas fea­tured our ‘What’ bespoke typo­graphic print call­ing it a great gift idea. And indeed it is.

Our bespoke ‘What’ print fea­tures the words (writ­ten by ourselves) from our lim­ited edi­tion ‘What Is Love?’ print (see below)…

You can per­son­al­ise your art­work by adding your own names and your wed­ding date at the bot­tom. You can also choose the col­our of the text.

And then, you can choose which frame or base mater­ial you’d like your bespoke art­work prin­ted on, such as.…

The second in our series of per­son­al­ized typo­graphic paper art prints.

This bespoke art­work is based on our ‘Jamie’ print.

A per­fect gift don’t you think?

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…

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?

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.

We are hap­pi­est when we’re cre­at­ing bespoke typo­graphic art for our customers.

Firstly, because we simply enjoy the design pro­cess. Obviously.

Secondly, because it fills our office with love. Per­sonal mes­sages from hus­bands to wives, girl­friends to boy­friends, daugh­ters to moth­ers. Spe­cial words, thoughts and phrases from the heart that invari­ably make us go “aw!”.

Some­times at Coulson Macleod HQ we’re asked to design some­thing a little dif­fer­ent. And this is one of our favourites…

Large solid oak frame and white-washed oak panel

A won­der­ful wed­ding anniversary gift to a hus­band using his phrase. Perfect!

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.

Our latest typo­graphic art col­lec­tion ‘Land­marks’ can be per­son­al­ized. And we think this would make a totally superb wed­ding present.

All you need to do is give us a list of words (we use roughly 70 words to make up the ones in our ‘Land­marks’ col­lec­tion pic­tured below).

You could cre­ate one that was based on their hon­ey­moon des­tin­a­tion. Or cre­ate one that focuses on places in their lives together, such as where the couple met, the pub they hang out in — you get the idea.

And we at Coulson Macleod HQ do the rest. We’ll find an image that suits the art­work. The res­ult is a one-off piece of bespoke art­work. A totally per­sonal gift. And you’d be loved by the couple forever!

Your per­son­al­ized art­work based on our ‘Land­marks’ col­lec­tion fea­tures a hand­made frame and pan­elled back­board made from reclaimed antique Vic­torian roof tim­bers. The planks used to make the back­board vary in size for each print and we retain all those lovely defects in the wood to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. These can include knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks, so each art­work is totally unique.

The fin­ished item is then over-printed with dis­tressed image and typo­graphy in UV ink.

Here at Coulson Macleod HQ we’ve been doing a spot of think­ing. And talk­ing. And gen­er­ally mulling over business.

Our ‘Love’ prints are prov­ing very pop­u­lar, par­tic­u­larly in wed­ding blogs and I’ve had vari­ous wed­ding magazines show­ing an interest too.

So we thought how lovely it would be for those about to get mar­ried to be able to com­mis­sion a print just for them.

Their very own Coulson Macleod.  Bespoke. Per­son­al­ized. A one-off… “to have and to hold from this day for­ward, for bet­ter or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sick­ness and in health, to love and to cher­ish; from this day for­ward until death do us part.”

If you’d like a one-off piece of art cre­at­ing just for you, then email us, and we’ll start cre­at­ing your very own mes­sage of love.
