Welcome to the website of Mark Wade Art
Can you paint me my favourite album?
Yes. I’m happy to paint a specific album, but I only take a limited number of commissions a year. Please get in touch via the Contact page with what you have in mind and to check my availability.
How many times do you paint a particular album?
I only do one painting of an album. By painting an album just the once it makes it a unique piece of artwork that only one person will own, and hopefully increasing its value over time.
Are your paintings for sale?
Yes, all paintings are for sale and can be bought directly from the website. Or, if you want to discuss buying a particular artwork, please do send a message.
Are your paintings hand painted?
Yes, the painting starts as a blank canvas and is entirely hand painted from scratch in acrylic paint.
Do you paint 7” singles?
Singles are a slightly different construction to albums, but I will consider painting a 7"single if the cover is a picture sleeve. Get in touch to discuss what you want.
Can you paint my portrait?
Yes, portraits are a favourite subject of mine. I am able to paint a portrait from both a good photograph, and a personal sitting. Please get in contact to discuss what you have in mind?
Do you do prints?
***Album prints are unavailable at this time ***
Yes, I make prints in the same 3-dimensional construction as the original painting and are delivered framed. Each print is made to order and I hand paint certain areas making each print unique with only a small number made.
Do you have a preferred genre of music that you paint?
Not really, I love music and have a broad taste. I listen to a lot of Jazz and think that invariably Jazz albums look incredibly stylish as paintings, but I’m happy painting any style of music.
How much is it to have an album painted?
The cost of a commission depends on how much detail there is to paint. Get in contact to discuss cost and availability.
Can I pay for art in instalments?
Yes, you can pay in manageable payments, with the painting delivered after the final instalment has been paid.
Are the paintings framed?
Not all paintings are framed. If you would like the piece to be delivered framed. Please make contact prior to purchase to discuss framing options and cost.
Do you ship to international countries?
Yes, I have shipped my art many times to the USA, Australia, Europe and the Far East. I use a trusted shipping agent with experience of sending art abroad. It is more expensive, but if an original piece is lost or damaged in transit, it cannot be replaced, so this ensures the art is transported safely and securely as possible with peace of mind. As shipping costs fluctuate, please make contact to obtain an accurate cost for shipping.
Can I return a painting or print?
If you are unhappy with the artwork please make contact as soon as possible to discuss. Artworks made to order cannot be returned for a full refund as each print and frame is made bespoke, so any return will be deducted the cost. If a problem cannot be resolved, returns are accepted within 14 days and the artwork must be returned at your cost undamaged.
If I buy one, will I want another?
Mark has many regular clients who return to buy more than one piece. During the course of delivering his artworks to people’s homes, Mark has had the privilege of seeing some amazing music related art collections, as well as some impressive vinyl record collections.
