Why are Ed Fairburn limited edition prints stamped and not signed?
Ed Fairburn, an artist known for his unique creativity and passion, embarked on a personal tradition around 2012 that added a heartwarming, personal touch to his works. He began incorporating signature stamps into both his original artwork and prints, subtly branding them with an intimate piece of his personal history.
The origin of this stamp is a nostalgic nod to his childhood. When Ed was merely 5 or 6 years old, he sent a card to his beloved grandmother. This card, carrying the innocent and imaginative scribblings of a young Ed, became the source of his present-day signature stamp. His grandmother had preserved the card, and it was from this that Ed's unique signature stamp was derived.
This cherished childhood memento was scanned and transformed into a stamp, and Ed now uses it as his personal 'signature'. The stamp not only authenticates his work but also offers a glimpse into the artist's journey, connecting his past with his present in a beautiful, tangible way. It's a touching reminder of his beginnings, symbolizing the enduring influence of our formative years, and the lasting impact they can have on our artistic expressions.
Could you provide me with an explanation on how sales tax is calculated for purchases made through your gallery?
Please note that all sales made through our gallery, to residents of Colorado, will incur charges for local sales tax. As a destination-based sales tax state, sales tax rates are determined by the buyer's location at the time of purchase. This means that if we ship to a buyer in Grand Junction, CO, they will be charged their local sales tax, in addition to shipping. Additionally, Colorado imposes a retail delivery fee of $0.27 for all motor vehicle deliveries made within the state until June 2023, when it will increase to $0.28 starting July 2024.
Please also note that unless we cross the Nexus Threshold for a particular state, we do not charge sales tax for those who reside outside of Colorado.
How are taxes addressed for international buyers?
For international deliveries, import duties and taxes are now collected at checkout. These fees are included in your purchase price, ensuring a smoother delivery process. We appreciate your understanding.
