Q: I love your Java images. Will you be making them available as a choice to send as postcards from your site?

A: This is something we may do in the future, but for now we do not have any virtual cards with java special effects.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: My favorite painting of Royce's is not featured as a choice in your digital postcards. Can you add it?

A: We do make a few changes to our postcard choices periodically, but as the old saying goes "You can please some of the people some of the time..." There is a way you can send your favourite picture without waiting for us to change our postcard site:
Some e-mail card sites let you send, as a postcard, any image on the web. So you could send your favorite RoyceArt image. An example of a card site that lets you send any picture is... http://www.artgame.com/postcard/postcrds.html


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: I really like your free digital postcard program. How can I get one for my own site?

A: The postcard program we use is a free cgi script from the wonderfully-named Big-Nose-Bird site. Just go to www.bignosebird.com to get the latest version.
Another card program we also use at: http://www.artgame.com/postcard/postcrds.html is very quick and easy to set up. Check that one out too. You can be up and running within 20 minutes!


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: I really enjoyed your web page however I wanted to send one of your digital postcards to my daughter but after I finished making the card I couldn't locate the next page to find send button. If you can help me with this I would appreciate it.

A: You just need to hit the preview button first. The preview page is there so you can see how the card will look to the recipient. You will be able to check that the text colors are readable, and everything else is working as you expected. The " Send " button is on this preview page.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: Do you have sweatshirts, or long-sleeved t-shirts?

A: We do not have sweatshirts for now. Long-sleeved t-shirts are not kept in stock, but can be 'special-ordered'. (Add US$2.50 per shirt, and 3-days extra for delivery.)


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: Do you have any colored shirts, or only white?

A: For now we just have white and gray t-shirts. In the future we hope to include colored shirts in our range.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: How long does delivery take from New Zealand, and how are the t-shirts sent?

A: Packages are send by AirPost International. Delivery times are:

  • To Australia ... 3 - 6 days
  • To North America and East Asia ... 4 - 10 days
  • To Europe including Great Britain .. 6 - 12 days


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: I absolutely adore your Java images. How do you make them?

A: Go to http://www.demon.co.uk/davidg/spigots.htm All will be revealed. (There is even a lake-wizard now for quickly and easily creating your own reflections.)


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: I really love your Java images. I would like to use them as wallpaper on my computer. Can you offer these?

A: As far as we know, these java effects can only be viewed in a java-enabled browser. Maybe later versions of Windows and Mac Operating Systems will allow java wallpaper, but for now, we don't think it can be done.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: I bought a new computer and noticed your beautiful Java was not coming in correctly on it. What plug in do I need to again see it? I use MSIE 5.0.

A: No plugins are required. Check to see if your java is enabled: In MSIE5, go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, and make sure that Java is ticked.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: How do I apply for one of your cool web awards?

A: It's very simple. Just email us the URL of your website, and a short paragraph on why you think it is worthy of the award. Depending on our workload, it may take just an hour or a week to get back to you.

A: We have no immediate plans to republish this as a poster. However we are looking at producing Limited Edition RoyceArt Giclee prints, and Leaping Orcas will most likely be included in this collection.

Q: I am a Gemini. I see that you have some of the zodiac signs displayed on your site but I couldn't locate mine. Where is it?

A: Gemini has been designed but not yet painted. 5 of the 12 zodiac signs have been completed so far. (Pisces, Aries, Scorpio, Leo and Cancer.) Eventually, the full set will be complete.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: I love your art and would like to buy some items. Could you please let me know who sells your stuff in my area.

A: We sell the prints & t-shirts ourselves online from our website, and we ship anywhere in the world provided there is a mail delivery service there! We have also licensed out reproduction rights of different images to various manufacturers, so you may come across RoyceArt images on Jigsaw puzzles, T-shirts, key rings, silk scarves & ties, tote bags, coffee mugs, coasters, shower curtains, fridge magnets, screensavers, mousepads etc. Unfortunately we do not know where these products are retailed so we cannot advise you on locations.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Q: Could Royce give me some airbrushing tips?

A: It is so hard to know exactly where a person is in their experience with the airbrush or their stencilling skills to be able to give personalised tips that are meaningful and worthwhile. Eventually Royce would like to write a techniques book but that is a long way in the future.
There are many fine books already published that give the basic techniques in this medium. It just a matter of visiting your local library, book store and/or art supplies store.
Some bare-bones information on Royce's painting technique can be found on our site here.

Q: I love the work you are doing. I too am an artist with dreams of seeing my work applied in similar manner as yours. Accessories, prints, cards, etc. Do you have any recommendations or experiences you could share with a fellow artist along those lines?

A: A whole book could be written on this subject, and probably has!
A very important first step is to build up a large portfolio of quality pieces. Having just a few images is usually not enough.
