The Story.
In 1962 Nick made some new friends at Poly: four years later they became Pink Floyd. Nick has been drumming since the age of thirteen, influenced by jazz pianists, R&B and the likes of Ginger Baker. He’s drummed for somewhere between 15-20,000 hours, “If you do anything for 10,000 hours you’ll be good at it.” His drumming is fairly distinctive in that he almost releases his sticks from his grasp just before he strikes, which has occasionally sent the odd stick flying in the past. He’s an instinctive player,
“My hands do what they want, its almost a subconscious process.”
With 3000 concerts under his belt and over 250 million album sales, he evidently has good instincts.
All prints are all archival, meaning they will last for well over 75 years. Most of his prints are reproduced on Hahnemühle Fine Art photo paper, regarded as one of the best photographic papers in the world. The majority of prints are printed using Giclée printing which reproduces incredible detail and brilliant colour, and has a higher resolution than traditional lithographic printing. All Limited Edition prints come with a Certificate of Authentication stating the print title, edition number, date of printing and are signed by the artist and stamped with his photographer's seal. The print itself is also titled, numbered and signed in pencil by the artist. All prints come with a pair of print handling gloves and a “Handling & Framing Your Print” instruction sheet.
Print sizes are quoted as the edge to edge dimensions of the paper itself, including the border around the image. Borders will vary according to the image dimensions, but will typically be between 1 to 2 ½ inches.
Each print will have a strict limitation to its edition run, plus a maximum of 2APs (Artist Proofs) marked 1/AP and 2/AP.
