yeah, the signature is really faint; same as with my Tali print. Supposedly that's normal though since it's done in pencil.

Haha I see I see.. I was bothered by it initially, worrying that it will fade into nothingness as time goes by. Lol. =P

Yeah I've been afraid to open mine as well. As J have to go to the hardware store to order plexiglass that's big enough. It's actually good it's signed in pencil, ive noticed the more professional prints that I have are in pencil as it won't ever fade, it might be faint but sharpies will fade away over the years where pencil should stay for the life if the print

Be sure to post some pictures of the gloss version

About signage. We normally use pencil. The benefit is no fading but the downside is that the paper has an invisible UV foil to it which protects against outside influences including the lead from a pencil . You can only apply so much pressure, so the signature on the front will be always be slightly light this way.

We regard the front signature as the least important though. It looks nice but there are so many ways to frame an artwork now that there is a likelihood the white surrounding border will be cut off. Dibond works are all signed on the back for instance via label. That is also why we provide the hand-signed, archival quality (no chemicals) label in case you want to be creative later you can stick that on the back of your frame or other or just stick in on the back of the print. The sticker is signed via pen most of the time.

I'm impressed. I've got some cool stuff, and some rare stuff, but this artwork takes the cake.





I'll take some better pics this weekend and put them up in my collection thread.
