FAQ
Q: Where'd you get the name Ducky Waddle's Empornium?
A: The "Waddle" part is directly stolen from the owner Jerry Waddle, the word "Emporium" denotes the wide variety of products that we offer, and as for the "Ducky" well... ducks are cute!
Q: Does "the Duck" Ship Internationally?
A: Our International Shipping and Handling (S&H) rates are determined by a
sliding scale based on the total dollar amount of the order. These fees
include items other than just postage such as insurance, shipping
supplies, credit card and PayPal fees including currency exchange
charges. When you place your order, shipping will read "To Be Arranged".
After we make the necessary calculation you will be informed and given
two options. Your options are Uninsured International First Class S&H
or Insured International Priority S&H. You then inform us of your
choice. If you use your credit card for payment your order will be
processed immediately. If you choose to use PayPal, an invoice will be
sent and your order will ship as soon as payment is received. If you
decide that the S&H charges are more than you wish to pay we will cancel
your order. These typically start in the $20-$30 range for Uninsured and
$30-$50 range for Insured however may be considerably lower depending on
the type of merchandise you purchase or considerably higher for very
expensive items. International delivery usually take 10-14 days but may
take longer.
Q: Why does my Shepard Fairey print print have an AP in the lower left corner?
A: I have been representing Shepard Fairey in my gallery for ten years and have a very good relationship with him both as a gallery owner and as a friend. It is because of this relationship that I am able to get some AP's when I order his prints. Many of my clients know this and request AP's and I never charge more for them even though they are often perceived to be more valuable.
Here is some information on Artists Proofs (AP's):
Artist's proof - One of a small group of prints set aside from an edition for an artist's use; An artist's proof is typically one of the first proofs from a limited edition of prints, for the artist's own copyright use, and marked as an A.P., and not numbered. Artist's proofs generally draw a higher price than other impressions.
Art historians, curators, and collectors view working proofs as an especially desirable because of their rarity, and the insight they may give into the progress of the work, and because they may well have belonged to the artist himself. Especially in the case of dead artists, they can be the only evidence of the artist's incremental development of an image, something not usually available with drawings, paintings, or sculpture.
Collectors also usually prefer final artist's proofs even when they are identical to the main edition; if nothing else the print may have been presented to a friend by the artist. Prints are generally sold as limited editions, with a print being less expensive than a drawing or painting. An artist's proof has special value because of its extra rarity and its possible differences from the "standard" print, factors that are often reflected in its price.
It is considered, especially in the United States, when the edition is sold out and a secondary market value is realised, an artist's proof will go up in value at a greater percentage rate than the limited edition. Normally the artist's proofs are sold out well before the complete edition and a secondary market value for the artist's proof will begin to increase in value well before the edition is sold out.
Artist's proofs are signed "A/P" or "Artist's Proof" and may or may not be numbered with the serial number of that portion of the edition.
Artist's proofs are generally considered a status symbol in the world of art collecting. And their resale value is proportionally higher than the numbered editions.
Artist's proofs are a special subset of the regular limited edition. They usually sell for 10-30% more than the regular edition.
Q: How can I be notified when a new print is available?
A: When a new print is published that you want, send me an e-mail (jerry@duckywaddles.com) with the title of the print in the subject line of the e-mail and I will add your name to the list of people to be notified when and if I receive the print for resale. I receive many but not all prints. It is necessary to send a separate message for each print. Not everyone wants every print and this places the responsibility with you to notify me not the other way around. There is no ongoing notification list for all prints.
Q: Do you have an e-mail list?
A: Yes. When you subscribe you will receive notices about gallery events, book signings and occasional sales. These notices are usually tied to a link to our news letter, "The Quack of the Duck". You can get added here: SUBSCRIBE
Q: Why have I not heard from you concerning my order?
A: When you place an order with Ducky Waddle's you will receive a series of automatic e-mail messages as your order advances through our system. Occasionally, these messages are blocked by firewalls or spam filters. I have no control over this situation. Most orders are processed quickly and are shipped within 24-48 hours. By using Insured Priority Mail, most orders are delivered before tthe customer even realizes that they have not received a confirmation.
