WHY A POSTER?

🖌️
MATTE, NOT GLOSS

Watercolour needs matte paper. No glare, no plastic sheen — the texture of the original washes survives the printing.

🖼️
FRAME IT YOURSELF

Standard 30 × 40 cm. Any high street frame fits. Choose the frame that suits your hallway, not one we chose for you.

💸
THE SENSIBLE OPTION

The same hand-drawn artwork as the canvas, for rather less. Wall art without the wallet event.

🇬🇧
PRINTED IN THE UK

Drawn in Bordeaux, printed and posted in Britain. No customs, no surprise charges at the door.

Digitised ≠ Digital

SCANNED. NOT DIGITAL.

“Digital file” doesn’t mean “digital drawing” — and the difference matters. Sébastien draws every caricature the old way: India ink and watercolour, on real art paper, at a real drawing table in Bordeaux. Once the artwork is finished, it’s scanned in high definition and printed. What arrives on your wall is a faithful capture of a physical drawing that exists on paper — not pixels pushed around on a tablet, and certainly not AI. The only thing digital about this operation is Sébastien’s fingers.

FAQ

WHAT SIZE IS THE POSTER?
30 × 40 cm — roughly 12 × 16 inches. It fits any standard frame of that size, which you’ll find in every high street shop that sells frames. The frame itself isn’t included: posting glass across the country rarely ends well.
WHAT PAPER IS IT PRINTED ON?
Museum-quality matte paper — thick, durable, and completely glare-free. Matte matters here: watercolour washes look flat and plasticky on gloss, whereas matte holds the texture of the original paper. Colours come out bright without the shine.
IS THE DRAWING REALLY DONE BY HAND?
Yes. India ink and watercolour, on real art paper, at a real drawing table in Bordeaux. The finished artwork is then scanned in high definition and printed. No AI, no photo filter, no tablet. “Digitised” is not the same thing as “digital” — and you can see the difference from across the room.
CAN I PUT MORE THAN ONE PERSON ON IT?
Yes — up to four people, chosen at checkout. Each extra face adds to the price, since each one is drawn individually rather than copied and pasted. For groups larger than four, get in touch first and we’ll work out the composition together.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
6–11 days from order to your UK doorstep. The caricature is drawn within 24 hours and the sketch is sent for your approval. Once you’re happy with it, the poster is printed in the UK and posted free to your door.
CAN I PUT MY DOG ON A POSTER?
Frequently requested, and frankly among the better ideas. Dogs, cats, horses — any animal with a clear photo works. Pets make excellent caricature subjects: expressive faces, and no opinions about their own nose.
