Freddie in Grey

from £85.00

Signed limited-edition archival giclée print.

FREDDIE, DRAWN ONE SQUARE AT A TIME.

TRY HIM ON YOUR WALL FOR 30 DAYS. IF HE ISN'T RIGHT, RETURN HIM FOR A FULL REFUND.

Hand-drawn, pixel by pixel, for the ones who understood he was always more than the voice.

Every square drawn by hand, in coloured pencil.

Step back and he appears.

A fixed edition, released 5 September 2026 - what would have been his 80th birthday.

Each size is its own numbered edition, signed, with a certificate of authenticity.

8 × 10 in (20 × 25 cm) — edition of 80 — £85
16 × 20 in (40 × 50 cm) — edition of 20 — £165
20 × 26.6 in (50 × 67 cm) — edition of 8 — £395

Not sure which size? Most people choose the 16 × 20. It's the size where the pixels do what they're supposed to do- abstract up close, unmistakably him from across the room. The 8 × 10 is a smaller piece for a desk, a shelf or a hallway. The 20 × 26 is the one that owns the room, and only eight people will ever own it.

If you're wavering, tell me about your wall and I'll give you an honest answer. I'd rather send you the right one than the expensive one.

FRAMED & READY TO HANG

Prefer not to sort the framing yourself? Choose the framed option and I'll do it for you.

Framed prints are available in BLACK / WHITE / OAK / DARK GLOSS & GOLD, with anti-glare glazing and a double mount. The double mount gives the artwork some breathing space from the frame and creates a clean, finished presentation.

Your print will arrive framed and ready to hang.

This is my straightforward ready-to-hang framing option rather than bespoke conservation framing. If you'd prefer specialist or conservation framing, simply choose your print unframed and take it to your preferred framer.

Freddie in Grey:

I grew up on Queen. A little town in Scotland, my parents playing the records far louder than the house could take, no sense at all that this was unusual. I still have that vinyl.

So this one wasn't a decision so much as an inevitability.

The pixel format strips detail and keeps recognition. What's lost in resolution gets replaced by whatever you already carry of him - and everyone carries something. The stance. The jaw. Wembley. You don't need the detail, which is the entire argument the work is making.

Every square is placed and coloured by hand. Months of work to produce something most people assume a computer made in a second.

He'd have found that funny, I think.

What comes with it:

Up By Teatime — hanging strips, so it goes up the day you have your frame.

The Story Card — the short version of how it was made, for when someone stands in front of it and asks.

Certificate of Authenticity — signed, numbered, edition size stated.

The Upgrade Credit — buy a print now and the full price comes off the original if you buy it within twelve months.

Your Number, Kept — own number 12 of Freddie and number 12 of all other icons is held for you before each one goes public.

Guarantee:

Live With It. Thirty days on your actual wall. If he doesn't belong there, send him back and I'll refund you, return postage included. No forms, no awkward email.

There By The Date, Or It's On Me. Buying it as a gift? Tell me the date. If it misses, you get a full refund and you keep the print.

Arrives Perfect. Damaged in transit is my problem, not yours. Replaced, no photographs of the packaging required.

The Numbers Are The Numbers. 40, 20 and 8. This edition will never be extended, reprinted, resized or reissued in any format. Ever.
