Henrik has redesigned my art site, check it out! I have also lowered the prices on many of the older original paintings and drawings.

I just went through everything on my art site, lowering the prices on a lot of older pictures. Also, a bunch of older pictures that were previously not for sale have been made available, like the painting above. You can browse all pictures in chronological order starting from the back to find the old ones.

At the present my prints come with a white margin and a “Johanna Öst” text underneath the picture, but lately I have considered changing them to only the picture. Personally I prefer prints without text, and even though you can crop the margin if you want to I would prefer a larger actual picture with no need for cropping.

Before changing them I want to ask your opinion, do you like the text or would it be better without? If you own one of my prints, did you crop it?

Prints made from small originals would still have a margin since they wouldn’t look good blown up. I’d have to decide if I should crop those prints or leave the white, same with pictures that doesn’t have the same proportions as an A4 paper. I guess a good thing with the current design is that all prints have the same size, and a size that is good for framing. Maybe a minimal margin with no text could be a compromise?

I could also offer both alternatives, but if no one wants the text it’s probably better to just change them.
