Photos
If you would like to order a picture, please email me the picture number as displayed in the viewer (e.g. v1_hp1) and the intended use. If the picture is not in the viewer, please right-click on the image with your mouse and note the image name/number. The use (i.e. intended print size) is important, since sharpness, grainyness etc. can vary and this allows me to make sure that the picture you are interested in will meet your requirements. Once a price has been agreed and I have received payment, a high resolution digital image will be made available for download, sent via email or on a CD (postage costs would need to be added in this case), depending on your wishes.
The price for private use of a single image is 20 Euros (e.g. for Poster Print)
Other prices on request
Special rates will be offered to Museums

Moai Sculptures
Moai sculpture availability is limited. I will try to have at least one of each Moai shown in the pictureviewer available, yet this will not always be possible, since usually only a handful are produced every year, mainly for friends. To order a Moai, please note the Sculpture number (e.g. m1_vp10) in the pictureviewer and contact me by email to check availability. I can then send detailed pictures of the particular Moai that is available so you can see exactly what you would be getting before you make a decision to buy.
Moais are made by pouring coloured plaster (or concrete) / pigment mixes into a caste. After removal from the caste, major defects are corrected, and the sculptures are treated in several stages (including an up to a month long drying stage) to give them a smoother non-dusting surface. The castes have been created by myself, based on study of real Moais. They combine features found in different real Moais, rather than being based on a particular one. The Moais cannot be offered cheaper, since the process is time-consuming, messy, and only one Moai can be made at a time. Please remember that postage costs need to be added.
If you have special Moai wishes, for example a particular colour preference, please contact me. In principle, most colours are possible, except very dark colours (since the plaster or concrete is light coloured and only certain pigment levels are tolerated without disrupting the setting process). Production of a custom Moai is likely to take 1-2 months, so no last minute christmas present wishes please :-). I would be very happy to discuss Moais with you, since If you share my passion for Moais, I would be very pleased if I could provide you with a Moai tailored to your preferences.
