This is the east coast of Monhegan Island, specifically Burnt Head, with the constellation Serpens Cauda stretching out above it as part of the Milky Way. Monhegan Island is twelve miles off the Maine coast and home to the highest cliffs on the East Coast, astonishing scenery, a major bird migration area, and an art colony for more than a hundred years. My Monhegan Stars series aims to capture the breathtaking dark sky views of the island by limiting the shutter speed to no more than 30 seconds (for star points instead of trails) and then light painting the structures with a singe handheld flashlight during that 30 seconds. No photoshopping is done to drop in these night skies, they are that beautiful. There will be no watermark on the final image.
Digital color print with archival inks on matte acid-free 310 gram textured 100% cotton fine-art paper, signed by the artist. Framed images have a 1" black wooden frame with signed, acid-free 2" mat and with UV, anti-glare acrylic to avoid breakage in shipping, costs will be an additional $30 for framed prints. Non-framed images will come either in a flat mailer or mailing tube, depending on size. Prints generally are shipped within a day, framed prints, metallic prints and canvases will take up to a week to send out.
Aluminum prints use aluminum metal sheets and a dye sublimation process to create a glossy, waterproof, highly durable print that is scratch and UV light resistant. These prints come with a mount for floating them off the wall.
Canvas prints are on stretched canvas attached to wooden frames and then online coated with a UV shield to protect the image from scratches or the long term affects of sunlight. They are also ready to hang directly on a wall.
The frames I use are custom-built all-wood frames from a small US company. Mats, backings, plexiglass are also locally sourced in an effort to support family-owned American businesses. I do all of my own mounting and framing, using high quality acid-free, archival-quality elements throughout to ensure a long-lasting, stable image that is designed to last generations. Aluminum and canvas prints come from a small local company in Brooklyn. Custom sizes are always available for any product I sell, simply contact me at the link below and I will create a listing specifically for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
