Every print in the shop is made to order and ships straight from the print lab. A Signed Studio Pack takes the longer road: the print comes to the studio first, and leaves with four things it did not have.
It is not a separate product. On any print's page, set Signing to Signed Studio Pack.
What's in it
The print, hand-signed
Same paper, same image as the unsigned print. This one has been in the room with the person who made the painting — looked at, handled, and signed in the margin.
The writing
A page about the painting, written for this print. Where it came from, what was on the table when it was made, what it is doing in a room. Not the product description — the thing underneath it.
The sigil card
Built, not decorated. The painting's name goes through a cipher, the cipher walks a historical magic square — a kamea — and the path it traces is the mark. Drawn by hand on a studio card, with the derivation written beside it, so the symbol can be followed back to the word it came from.
Stickers, and whatever else is on the table
Whatever the studio is running that week goes in the tube. It changes. That is the point.
The shout-out, if you want it
Optional. Before it ships, the print gets a send-off on the studio's channels — the piece, heading to its new wall. Say yes in your order notes or reply to your confirmation email. Say nothing and nothing gets posted.
How it moves
- You order. On the print's page, choose Signed Studio Pack under Signing. At launch, shipping to US addresses is included.
- The lab prints. Printed to order on the same matte paper as the unsigned print.
- The studio. The print is routed to Michael. He signs it, writes its page, and draws its sigil. One person, by hand.
- It ships. Print, writing, and card, together, to you.
Allow 2–4 weeks for studio dispatch. The studio step is the slow one on purpose.
