The Biggie Artist Proof Collector Print, Signed and Unique
Own the Only One Ever Made
Right, so here's the rather marvellous bit. Before I approve any of my paintings for a new print run, I work closely with my printers to create a single, perfect test print. This is the first one made, the one I personally inspect in my studio for colour accuracy and quality against my original painting. Think of it as the golden ticket, except it actually looks rather good on a wall.
By tradition, this unique piece is called the Artist's Proof. It's my final seal of approval, and for each of my paintings, only one of these will ever exist. Once it's sold, that's rather it. No reprints, no second chances, no backing out awkwardly at a dinner party because someone else has the same one.
Why Choose Our Artist's Proof
A True One of One Original: This is the only Artist's Proof for this painting. Once sold, no others will ever be created, making it the rarest version available. Rather special, if I do say so.
Hand Signed and Certified: I personally sign, title, and date the print by hand, then mark it with A/P to certify its unique status. It's got my actual signature on it, which is either splendid or slightly embarrassing depending on how my handwriting looks that day.
Museum Grade Fine Art Paper: I have selected Hahnemühle German Etching at 310gsm, a world renowned heavyweight fine art paper from Germany. Its distinct, velvety texture captures the depth and colour of my original work beautifully, creating an archival quality giclée reproduction that is utterly fetching.
Archival Giclée Print Process: This proof is created using sophisticated giclée printing with archival pigment inks, guaranteeing the colours remain vibrant and true for a lifetime without fading. Your great grandchildren will still be looking at this rather than their phones.
Substantial Statement Size: The artwork is printed in a generous size, perfect for making a rather good impression on your wall.
Product Details
Available Dimensions: Choose either landscape or portrait orientation at 20 by 16 inches (50 by 40 cm), or square format at 20 by 20 inches (50 by 50 cm).
Professional Framing Option: If you would like your Artist's Proof professionally framed by trusted UK partners to arrive ready to hang as a gallery quality piece, do get in touch before you purchase to discuss custom framing options.
Your Collector's Moment: This is the rarest version of this artwork. Once it sells, that particular story ends. If you have been pondering this, well, pondering time is rather over.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.

Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space.
