Holly Tucker Buys Coulson Macleod Art

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Holly Tucker, founder of the online mar­ket­place Not On The High Street bought one of our typo­graphic art prints about a year ago.

A great testi­mo­nial for us. And we thought no more of it.

Until…

our lovely friend, the eagle-eyed Hay­ley of Ruby Wren, spot­ted our black and white oak-framed art print in the back­ground of this photo.

Can you see it lean­ing on the radiator?

Holly Tucker put this photo on the NOTHS blog. She was writ­ing about her son Harry’s sixth birth­day party.

This par­tic­u­lar print has now been dis­con­tin­ued. Which has noth­ing to do with Holly buy­ing it.

How­ever, if you’d like to see more of our typo­graphic art­work that is for sale, do pop on over to Coulson Macleod.

The Nineties & The Noughties

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

Finally! Our two latest ‘Dec­ades’ prints to add to the collection…

Dis­tressed typo­graphy (very Coulson Macleod) prin­ted onto a 100% recycled, off-white, uncoated, heavy­weight paper. Each unframed print is 50cm x 50cm.

There are now five prints in the ‘Dec­ades’ col­lec­tion. The other three prints are: ‘The Six­ties’, ‘The Sev­en­ties’ and ‘The Eighties’.

Dec­ades’ are avail­able pro­fes­sion­ally framed. We’ve chosen a white-stained Ayous Wood pic­ture frame with a 20mm width mould­ing and 33mm depth. This is hand­made to order to exactly fit our ‘Dec­ades’ prints, and are assembled by hand by pro­fes­sional Fine Arts Guild framers. Altern­at­ively, you can buy the ‘Dec­ades’ col­lec­tion unmoun­ted and source your own frame.

Bespoke Typographic Art — It’s All About You

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

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

A Chip Off The Old Block

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

Three new typo­graphic art prints. Intro­du­cing ‘The Block Col­lec­tion’. All very Coulson Macleod…

  • hand­made
  • reclaimed
  • typo­graphy

For this art col­lec­tion we’ve hand-wrapped a block (35cm x 35cm) in nat­ural calico, and over­prin­ted and moun­ted it in a hand­made frame made from reclaimed wood. The inside of the frame is hand-painted in dif­fer­ent colours.

Can You Tell What It Is Yet?

Intro­du­cing our latest typo­graphic art col­lec­tion — Catchphrases…

Do you know who said these three fam­ous TV catch­phrases? Tell us in the com­ments box.

Our latest typo­graphic art col­lec­tion fea­tures a nat­ural hes­sian, hand-wrapped, block (35cm x 35cm), over­prin­ted with typo­graphy and moun­ted in a hand­made frame made from reclaimed wood. The inside of the frame is hand-painted white.

As is the way with Coulson Macleod, we retain any defects in the wood to add charm and char­ac­ter to the print, which can include (and often does) knot holes, nail holes, warps, and water marks. So not only do they look great, each typo­graphic art­work is totally unique.

Twenty More Years Of Design

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Admit­tedly this has been on the Coulson Macleod agenda for some time. Our cus­tom­ers keep ask­ing for it. And now, finally, we’ve almost done it…

designed two more typo­graphic prints for our ‘Dec­ades’ col­lec­tion; ‘The Nineties’ and ‘The Nought­ies’. Yay!

And, even more excit­ing news, we’re also launch­ing a bespoke ver­sion too. We’ll obvi­ously show you the fin­ished prints when they’re ready.

These are the three exist­ing typo­graphic prints in our ‘Dec­ades’ collection…

Our three new typo­graphic prints will fea­ture brand-new, even love­lier and chunkier, frames. Pro­fes­sion­ally framed by a Fine Art Trade Guild member.

So in pre­par­a­tion for the launch, we’ve put our framed ‘Dec­ades’ col­lec­tion (with the old-style pic­ture frame) in our Clear­ance Page. So don’t hes­it­ate if you fancy pick­ing up a bar­gain, num­bers are lim­ited, and when they’ve sold out… well they’re sold out.

And The Winner Is…

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

The win­ner of a life’s design giveaway is…

Meg from the blog Nut­meg & Com­pany.

Meg is a design enthu­si­ast and recently bought a his­toric home, which she plans to ren­ov­ate and dec­or­ate every square inch. So pretty handy that she now has three Coulson MacleodDec­ades’ prints to hang on her walls. She said, “I’m so excited that I wont these prints. They are per­fect for the fam­ily room in my new house.”

Meg’s hus­band is a car­penter and they own a renov­a­tion com­pany called Tru­line Con­struc­tion, in Lon­don, Ontario. They’ve been in busi­ness for the past seven years and work really hard at what they do.  Here’s a couple of pho­tos of some award-winning kit­chens that they’ve worked on…

Our typo­graphic art giveaway on a life’s design blog was pretty pop­u­lar and here are just a hand­ful of com­ments left by those who entered…

  • I love typo­graphy. But Coulson Macleod bring it back in style. I would not mind hav­ing these prints grace my liv­ing room. They are wonderful.
  • I’d really love this set for my new home. I think that Coulson Macleod is inspired and inspir­ing: some­times I try to think about my next fur­niture dream­ing on their prints.
  • Not only are the prints really beau­ti­ful, but I LOVE their brand’s atti­tude — they just seem so lovely on their Face­book page!
  • These are great! I had never heard of them. I have added them to my favor­ites list. I would love one for my home. Thanks for intro­du­cing me to them.
  • I love the phrases and the style — not too clean & mod­ern but not too rus­tic, their pieces are so full of char­ac­ter. LOVE!
  • We’re mov­ing into a new place and need a fresh start… this art is fresh and unique… I would LOVE them.
  • Wow! We love Coulson Macleod prints. The Six­ties print would go in our hall­way with our framed Beatles albums, The Sev­en­ties would go with all my other half’s Star Wars mem­or­ab­ilia, and we were born in The Eighties! Coulson Macleod are fant­astic as their art­work is so unique.
  • I love their Face­book updates — they really make me smile. I love how they are inter­ested in archi­tec­ture — like really inter­ested. I love how it is obvi­ous that they love each other through their work. I love the simplicity-mixed-with-drama of their prints.
  • For me it’s their ori­gin­al­ity that makes the designs so easy to relate too, as well as beau­ti­ful to look at.

Here’s To Your Good Health

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

Nat­ural reclaimed mater­i­als. Check. Typo­graphy. Check. Hand­made. Check. Vin­tage feel. Check. Oh, so very Coulson Macleod.

Intro­du­cing Coulson Macleod’s Curio Col­lec­tion, inspired by old phar­ma­ceut­ical adverts.

For this new vin­tage art col­lec­tion, we’ve used hes­sian, a coarse woven fab­ric made from the veget­able fibre, jute. We’ve wrapped the hes­sian around a block meas­ur­ing 35cm x 35cm just so you know and prin­ted the art­work onto the fab­ric. Then we’ve moun­ted this hes­sian print onto a hand­made frame made from gor­geous reclaimed wood (Vic­torian roof tim­bers to be exact). The inside of the frame is hand-painted white.

This art­work has an unlim­ited print quantity.

We’ve attached a hanging mech­an­ism to the rear of the frame so it’s ready for you to hang on your wall.

And just in case you were think­ing that the wood looked a bit, well, vin­tage. Yep! That’s the way we like it. We pur­pose­fully retain any defects in the tim­ber 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.
