I’ve been looking forward to releasing this print collection for a long time. After a decade of chasing awe in some of the most spectacular places on planet earth, I’ve finally compiled my strongest collection. I call it ‘Dark & Moody V1‘.

Order Your Signed Prints Below

All of the prints available in the ‘Dark & Moody V1‘ print collection will be signed by yours truly. Image sizes are shown below for each image.

These prints are lovingly created in my very own Vancouver Island print lab Unicornlabs, which centers around the 24″ Canon imagePROGRAF Pro 2100 printer. I’ve partnered with the masters of high-quality archival paper at Fotospeed to deliver a beautiful product that I’m very proud to hang in my own home and hopefully yours too.

Fast Shipping

Because these prints are very lightweight, we’re able to ship these out very quickly with affordable, guaranteed delivery within 14 days of shipping.

Print Specifications

My images are printed on high-density matt paper that won’t produce any glare when placed inside your own frame and hung on your walls. I’ve spent countless hours testing different papers to get the look of my images just perfect and the Fotospeed Platinum Cotton 305 looks fantastic with its acid-free, wide colour gamut, archival quality with a print life of more than 85 years. This is how my images are meant to be seen!

Unicornlabs Seal of Quality

Not only is your print created to the highest standards of image quality but you can rest assured that Amanda has blessed your print with Unicorn hiccups and infused it with creative energies from her extensively bizarre collection of crystals. She uses different crystals for each image based on the mood of the artwork. It’s both charming and disturbing to witness the packaging ritual. I simply nod my head and smile.

How To Purchase

It’s dead easy. Simply click on the ‘Add to cart‘ button directly under the images that you’d like to buy. You can add multiple images from the collection

Product Dimensions

I’ve shown the approximate print dimensions above each image but you can see the exact measurements of the printed area shown under each image to help with mounting. Many of the images have different aspect ratios and I’ve deliberately kept them this way so that the composition remains perfect without compromising the image just to fit into a specific frame size. For affordable custom framing options keep reading…

Affordable Custom Framing Options

After much research and some rather costly experimentation, I finally found an online custom framing service that makes a good product at a very affordable price. Art To Frames will make a custom frame to fit ANY image dimensions for about the same price as ‘off the shelf’ frames. You can choose different matt and frame colors and sizes to compliment the image. After purchasing several of their products I contacted Art To Frames and I’m now delighted to be able to offer you a discount coupon for their custom framing service. Simply use the coupon code FOTOTRIPPER while shopping for custom frames at arttoframes.com

Why USD and not CAD?

Historically, most of my clients are in the US and around the world. Very few come from Canada, so I’ve set USD as the web sites base currency to accommodate the bulk of my audience. In my 20+ years of doing e-commerce, USD seems to be the more globally ‘recognized‘ currency for e-commerce. People from different countries are more used to seeing prices in USD than CAD so that’s what I went with. One day I’ll figure out how to add multi-currency to the site. That being said, you can still choose the ‘Paypal’ payment option and Paypal should convert the total into your local currency.

Custom Prints Available

If there’s an image that you don’t see in this collection or if you need a larger image or perhaps even a custom framing solution, please get in touch and let me know your needs. I’ll do my best to accommodate.
