Is the artwork framed?
We usually send the artwork unframed as the glass frames are heavy, costly, and easily damaged when shipped from Hawaii. However, some of the original paintings are framed. Please check the site.

Are the block prints original?
Yes, they are hand carved and hand printed.

Are the photos, posters and prints also signed?
All 8.5″ x 11″ photos are signed, as well as all block prints (with the exception of the block print included in the “Surf Package” product). All Block Prints inked and printed by the artist, John Severson, and come with a certificate of authenticity. Some small posters are also signed. Please see the product description of each piece for more information.

What is the best way to preserve the color of the art?
When framing, use UV Plexiglass if possible. Avoid hanging art in direct sun.

Where can I order John Severson’s movies like Pacific Vibrations and Surf Fever?
Severson’s surf movies are not available on DVD at this time.
