TORI AMOS - RIDING PURPLE SNAIL - HIGH GLOSS MEDIUMRich Color - 24 x 33"
Hello, thanks for checking this listing, this is for Tori Amos - Riding Purple Snail - High Gloss Medium - Rich Color - 24 x 33"
This is a real Photo Print from the 90's and the image was created by a famous photographer. It is on a very high gloss paper (really, like plastic) and is not on the typical Kodak 'type' photo paper. This was a 'Printers Proof' and made while adjusting the filters and 'ex...perimenting' different outcomes of the famous photograph. I forgot the name, but you can google it and you will see that the original photo would have shown all the trees/forrest around (they are there but filtered so as to focus on Tori and the snail in an amazing way). Its surface is super high gloss, perhaps its mylar. I don't know anything about the industry (pro lab photography, etc.). I've had this in the closet collection for decades, never mounted or exposed to the elements/light. I called around to the regular places (Kinkos, Staples, etc.) and they don't offer this service, must be done at a Pro Photo Lab with large format, etc., it would be very expensive.
I try to show just how incredibly smooth and glass like the surface is with camera angle and lighting. It is so 'rich' and 'deep' that it is difficult to photo (reflects the flash and everything else!) but that is also what makes it so incredible, the surface is smooth and clear, like water you could put your hand through. Also, sadly my hand is only steady for a couple shots (time to get a tripod?) and none of my pics does justice to this professional photo.
This large photo comes from a collection I got decades ago from a former ad agency employee (who formerly worked at Marvel & DC). I don't recall any specifics about this one...
Measurements: Approximately 24 x 33".
Condition: Excellent. Please check photos.
Note: I'm selling a large collection of posters which have been boxed in the closet for decades. Some are original Marvel posters that have never been removed from the original plastic sleeve and in remarkable condition. Some are extraordinary images of historical or entertainment subject matter. I have many other posters in various levels of great condition (from mint to minor pin/staple holes, tape, etc.), with no serious issues such as tears, folds, etc. Any of them would frame beautifully. Please check my other listings. Thanks.
TERMS & CONDITIONS:
Please ask any questions you have before bidding.
Payments:
PayPal is our accepted method of payment. All major credit cards can be securely processed through PayPal. Ebay rules require immediate payment when you use the Buy It Now feature. If a Best Offer is accepted, payment is required immediately within 24 hours. Otherwise the item may be re-listed and non-paying bidder claim filed, it’s only fair to other potential buyers and ‘watchers’.
For auction style listings, payment must be received within 48 hours of Auction End (unless there is Prior agreement between the buyer and seller). Otherwise the item may be re-listed and non-paying bidder claim filed, it’s only fair to other potential buyers and ‘watchers’.
Combined Shipping:
If you are buying one item, hit the Buy It Now.
When purchasing multiple items for combined shipping, please do not hit the Buy It Now. Instead, add them to your shopping cart first. From the shopping cart you can hit the commit to buy and request invoice.No one else will be able to buy them but you. I will receive the request and send an adjusted invoice back to you (sometimes with free shipping on quantity!). You can then click the payment button on the single invoice I send to you. You must add the items to your shopping cart before you make any payments or click any of the Buy It Now buttons. I will not be able to undo individual shipping if the above procedure is ignored. Payment is required within 48 hours.
Shipping:
We can only ship to the address noted by PayPal/eBay. If you would like this changed you must do so on your side with PayPal/eBay before making payment. Tracking information will be uploaded to eBay on the day shipped (within 24-48 of cleared payment). Priority Mail is the best method for most of what we ship. It is sometimes a little bit more expensive but it allows us to confidently guarantee delivery or full refund. It is the most reliable in our experience in terms of both tracking and damage security. Media mail is extremely slow (sometimes up to 3 weeks!) and tracking information is often not updated until it arrives at its destination. This complicates finding lost packages and or filing damage claims. At this time, we can only ship to the Continental United States. All items are packed well and insured.
Shipping Costs:
Priority Mail and any additional expenses (referred to as ‘Handling Costs’) are real, such as packing tape, packing materials (bubble wrap, foam, paper, etc.). We are not here to make a buck off our fellow eBay members with shipping fees. We are not a commercial enterprise who buys and stores these materials in large bulk quantities and have a shipping department.
We are what eBay started out as, regular people who have a job and enjoy buying and selling personal collectible items which are often one of a kind or hard to find/not available new anymore.
Returns: There are no returns on original or production art.
Feedback:
We strive to make your transaction as perfect as possible. However, if a situation occurs which leaves you unhappy or dissatisfied, please do not hesitate to contact us so we can work through it with you. We will leave 5 Star positive feedback once a transaction has been completed and you are completely satisfied with your purchase.
