Who is Turtledust?

I'm a visual bootlegger, graphic and design consultant, print seller, creative director, alternative copywriter with a part time role in mischief management, living by the seaside in the north east of England. You may have made eye contact with my prints in galleries, shops, cafes, restaurants, clubs, celebrity homes, channel 4, collaborations and even my mums house! My actual name is Marty

About the designs

I DO NOT USE AI, all my work is crafted from many part and layers mashed together (think of at as visual sampling!) in monochrome and digitally repainted to produce the finished scene. Some products and designs are mixed media using forms of paint texture, video editing and collaging

Paper & printing

All Turtledust designs are printing on recycled matt stock (no shine, sheen or gloss for a more authentic, vintage output). The smaller prints of A3 and under are delivered flat as they are 300gsm perlino cotton and can't be rolled, they have a slight raised texture. Larger prints are printed on 200gsm recycled, unbleached art papers and most are matt coated to avoid scratching and light pollution damage. I DO NOT print my own products, I have carefully selected the right companies and individuals for the job and support independent business where possible.

Packaging & Delivery

I am a very eco and earth conscious company using ZERO PLASTICS (were feasible), the protective sleeves are either recyclable, biodegradable or compostable. The parcels are double protected with carboard inserts and delivered in double walled book wraps or thick walled tubes. I spend more on postage and packing to help deliver your items in the best possible condition (and to survive the heavy hands of some couriers!)
