I have a customer who is looking for a print called "The Girls" by American artist Art LaMay. I have included a picture. Does anyone know of a publisher in the UK who has this print. I can't seem to find anyone in the US who can/will ship to the UK.

Hi Alzibiff,

I use carpet tiles stuck down onto 12mm MDF. Normally I will use a sheet of Mountboard laid on top as well.

Hi Frameus,

My first post since joining and I didn't think it would be a IT related one. The .zip file they sent will be a compressed file ( or zipped) making it small enough to send by e-mail. It will probably be a compressed Excel file which can be opened by double clicking on the zip file ...
