About
Drawlery
For twenty years my work was walls. Murals, gilded lettering, marbled surfaces, a stretch of decorative finishes in a studio north of New York. None of that fits in an envelope.
Drawlery is the part of it that does. I letter the words by hand and paint the marks with a brush on paper, then scan everything and clean it up on screen. You buy a file, but the crooked edge of a letter was made with ink. Repaired ceramics and marbled objects are coming next, made by the same hands in a different material.
Every poster comes in five aspect ratios, so you can print A4 in Europe, Letter in the US, or something large at a local lab. I keep the palette narrow and the type loud, because a poster has about two seconds to do its job on a wall.

FAQ
Questions I get
The files
What do I actually get?+
After checkout Etsy gives you a download link straight away. Inside are JPG files at 300 dpi in five aspect ratios: 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 11:14 and ISO. Nothing gets shipped, so there is nothing to wait for.
Which file should I print?+
Whichever matches your frame. ISO covers A5 through A2 and is the one to use in Europe. 2:3 gives you 4x6, 12x18 and 24x36 inches. 4:5 is the 8x10 and 16x20 family, 11:14 fits that common ready-made frame size, and 3:4 covers 18x24 cm and 30x40 cm.
Can I get a size that isn't in the pack?+
Write to me. Resizing takes me a few minutes and I don't charge for it.
Printing and use
Can I print it at home?+
For A5 and A4, yes, on any decent inkjet. Use matte paper around 200 g rather than office copy paper, which will drink the ink and go grey. Anything larger is worth sending to a local print shop.
Why does the colour look different on paper?+
Your screen is lit from behind and paper is not, so cream tones come out a little warmer in print. If the shade matters to you, ask the lab for a small test print before the big one.
What am I allowed to do with the file?+
Print it as many times as you like for your own walls, or for a gift. You can't resell the file, and you can't sell prints made from it. If you want to use one in a hotel, café or office, write to me and we'll sort it out.
Can I get a refund?+
Etsy doesn't allow returns on instant downloads, because the file is yours the second you pay. If a file is damaged or won't open, message me and I'll send a new one.
