When we decided to start Shafranski Art, we knew we had to have the kind of packaging supplies that would reflect a certain amount of seriousness and professionalism. We had a basic idea of what we needed but neither of us knew where to go. My wife did multiple searches but couldn’t find anything she liked.
We ended up in West Greenville at a small art show one Saturday and hit the jackpot! We met a local artist, Tom Stewart, who draws wonderful architectural pencil drawings. We started asking lots of questions about his printing and packaging. He very patiently answered them all.
We use Tom’s printer, Metro Reprographics, and have always been very pleased with them. Our mats are typically purchased from mister art. For a $25.00 annual fee, we can get some awesome prices! The fee is very much worth it! We purchase our backing boards for the prints and the bags for prints, note cards and bookmarks from clear bags. In a crunch, we have been known to purchase mats from clear bags, too. Everything we use to package our products is acid free.
Tom said he likes to help artists that are new to selling their artwork, whether on line or at art shows. So…. A HUGE thank-you to Tom!
We make it a point to try to pay it forward. We are very willing to answer questions that an artist or budding artist might have. This can be a tough business to get started in so if we can help in any way, let us know!
This is one of Tom's awesome drawings!
