Matt,
The woodcut prints arrived today. They are in perfect condition, they are
beautifully framed, and they look terrific on the wall of our bedroom.

The only negative is that each morning, as Kathy gets up, she will be reminded
that she is not in Vermont.
Thanks. E. in New Haven, CT

Matt,
"Along Franconia Ridge" arrived today and it is fantastic! As a skier, and hiker of Cannon Mt and Franconia Ridge and a printmaker, I was blown away by your woodcuts! Many thanks for sending it so promptly! I can't wait to frame it and hang it in my house. Where do you show your work? Do you have a website?

I thought this year's Boston Printmaker's Show was the best ever and your work stayed with me when I got home, forcing me to call and order it!

Thanks again for sending ti so quickly and for creating such elegant woodcuts!

Matt,
I received your print "Moon over Mt Desert Island" as ordered. It is beautiful, as expected, and in perfect shape. There was a gouge on the outside cardboard sheet that only went through one layer - confirming the need for the protection you use. The only problem I have is holding on to it until Christmas - it may end up as a get well gift since my sister is having bilateral hip replacement soon.

My husband's reaction was "let's keep it" but he was dissuaded upon seeing your other work - his favorite is "Snow on Cannon Mountain" and I plan to be ordering it.

Your prints seem to me to embody Hanga (as much as I know); your blog is a model for mixed personal-professional blogging; great photos. You convey an integrity of work and life that is achievable independent of where you live or what you do. I can relate to it even as a doctor in urban Milwaukee.

Thanks

Dear Matt,
Just want to let you know that your print arrived in perfect condition and that we love it, it is a beautiful addition to our life (makes the rest of it look shabby though) and much admired.

Thank you,
M. R.

Dear Matt,
Our picture of "Along Franconia Notch" arrived in perfect condition. We
have it hanging in our family run on the wall we planned while we were at
the fair.

We love your work,
T and J

Hi Mr. Brown,
I wanted to thank you for the quick turn around on the Hussey Sound print.
It is quite lovely and we are glad to have it. It is the first piece of
original artwork we have purchased for our home.

Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
M S

Yes!
Thank you for following up!
It actually arrived the day after I inquired about it- well before your estimated arrival. Your packing job was exceptional. It arrived with a bit of a bend, and a gash/dent in the exterior, so I unwrapped it just to be sure the handling hadn't reached the print. Sure enough, the print remained pristine! I repacked it and wrapped it as it was, just so it wouldn't be damaged in "Christmas handling".
Mari was surprised and elated. She, too, preferred the 2nd state, and said that was the one she'd had in mind.
We've got it in a subtle black frame, and on the wall in her "office" where she can look at it often and be inspired.

At any rate, thanks again for a great print, and great service, which all made a great gift possible!

And a few more photos of prints in folks' offices and homes:

"Boardwalk at Matinicus" in a metal frame		An arrangement with a pair of Rockwell Kent images.
Here are cherry (left) and walnut.		In an office waiting room.
"Lakes of the Clouds" in walnut		"Snow on Cannon Mtn." in walnut

Please note, colors over the Internet may be deceiving. The walnut is the darker wood (a deep brown, not very red). The cherry is reddish, darkening a bit over time. The oak has a pronounced grain and the maple is very light. The bulk of our prints are framed in either cherry or walnut. Should you wish to have oak or maple frames, we can still do it.

And, just to make things complicated, if you wish for your print to look the very best, I offer an option of framing in museum glass (this is the best: non-glare, UV protecting), for an additional $35. Actually this can be very effective, making it quite a bit easier to see and sense the tactile texture of the prints, the embossing, the way the light comes back out from the colors deep in the paper.
