Collector FAQ
Whether you’re collecting one-of-a-kind BAPstracts or choosing fine art Landscape prints, this guide is here to help.
Both bodies of work come with certificates of authenticity and are created with the same care and vision. One offers the rarity of a singular original; the other offers timeless beauty that’s easy to bring into your space.
Understanding the Artwork
What makes a BAPstract different from a Landscape print?
BAPstracts are one-of-a-kind originals — each a 1/1 artwork that will never be reproduced. Landscapes are offered primarily as open-edition fine art prints, designed for accessibility and enjoyment. A very select few Landscapes are released as limited editions — rare exceptions that carry added collector value while still remaining distinct from the exclusivity of BAPstracts.
Why are BAPstracts considered collector’s pieces?
Because each BAPstract is a 1/1, owning one means holding something truly rare. Once a BAPstract is sold, it’s gone forever. This scarcity — combined with their conceptual depth — makes them valuable additions to a serious collection.
Presentation & Display
Are BAPstracts: Now Clocks & Stripes, designed for framing?
No. Now Clocks are 10″ timepieces with quartz movement, each encircled by a hand-painted bezel that serves as its own cosmic frame. Stripes are original photographic artworks printed on canvas, finished and wrapped to the edges. Both arrive ready to hang and are complete works of art, not meant for additional framing.
How are Landscape prints sized and framed?
Landscapes are intentionally designed to fit common frame sizes up to 24" × 36". This makes framing simple and affordable without the need for costly custom work. Collectors can enjoy fine art photography in a format that’s practical for everyday living spaces.
Certificates of Authenticity
Do both BAPstracts and Landscapes come with certificates?
Yes. Both BAPstracts and Landscapes include signed certificates of authenticity.
For BAPstracts, this confirms exclusivity — you own the only one in existence.
For open-edition Landscapes, it affirms provenance and ensures you are collecting an authentic fine art print from my studio.
For limited-edition Landscapes, it also specifies the edition number (e.g., 3/5) — a rare bonus for collectors who appreciate scarcity in scenic work.
How are the artworks signed and authenticated?
Every artwork receives multiple layers of authentication:
Front Signature — Each piece is signed on the front in the lower right corner, following fine art tradition.
Back Signature + Details — On the reverse, I include a second signature along with the title, date, and medium, ensuring provenance is permanently tied to the physical artwork.
Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) — Each work also comes with a signed and dated certificate. For BAPstracts, it confirms exclusivity as a one-of-one original. For Landscapes, it affirms provenance and, when applicable, specifies edition numbers for limited runs.
Together, these practices provide collectors with confidence that their artwork is not only genuine but also supported by documentation that strengthens its long-term value.
Choosing the Right Work
How should I decide between a BAPstract and a Landscape?
It depends on what you’re seeking.
If you want a unique, conceptual artwork radiating with rich color and energy — an original that explores time, light, and cosmic connection while offering striking patterns and visual depth — a BAPstract is right for you.
If you want timeless scenic photography that captures the spirit of place — coastlines, mountains, and wild horizons — created in sizes designed to frame easily and collected for the lasting beauty it brings into a home or gallery, a Landscape is ideal.
Many collectors enjoy owning both, creating a collection that spans concept and place.
Final Note to Collectors
Whether you begin with a Landscape or a BAPstract, you’re not just buying an image — you’re collecting original photographic art. My hope is that each piece becomes part of your story, as meaningful to you as it was for me to create.
