Description

Blue Duck Art Print.

Digital art print of hand drawn Blue Duck by NZ Artist Penny Royal.

High quality unframed laser print on Crane Lettra Pearl White 300gsm Rag stock.

I also have this design available on wallpaper, fabric and homewares here

Prints are available in A4 and A3, please get in touch if you would like a different size.

Please note, prints are made to order and will be ready for dispatch within 7 days.

All prints are printed at my local printer based in Richmond, NZ. Then hand signed and packaged by me in Stoke, NZ.

Art prints are sent in a cellophane sleeve and shipped flat.

I have wholesale options for these if you are a retailer, so please get in touch via my contact page, I would love to work with you!

Note on Shipping:

Did you know that I only charge a flat rate for shipping for greeting cards, art prints and calendars regardless of how many you purchase?

You just pay for the biggest item in your cart and then you can add alllll the other cards, prints and calendars for no extra shipping!! I also don’t charge extra for Rural delivery (I got you country folk, I was raised in the wop wops 😊)

So, say you buy an A4 art print – within NZ shipping is $7.50 (this is what I get charged, no markup from me) – then you add a calendar, wait 2 calendars for both your sisters-in-law, then 8 greeting cards and 3 more A4 art prints… you will still only pay $7.50 shipping.

I also have a free pickup option for my local peeps, just select ‘Free Local Pickup’ from the shipping options in checkout and you won’t pay a thing for shipping, and let’s be honest, I usually hand deliver them if I am going past!

International folks, the shipping from NZ is really expensive for us (the downside of living on a beautiful island in the middle of nowhere). But same deal, you only pay one flat rate for the largest item, so same price for 1 art print as it is for 10… or more! (I mean if you want to order 1500 art prints, I will be so frikken grateful for the order I am happy to shout you the extra shipping, even if you live in Antarctica!)

I package my items as beautifully and safely as I possibly can and use as much recycled packaging as I can – I am not perfect, and am totally open to suggestions! I have an awesome record of items arriving perfectly and people always comment how beautiful their package was to open.

I even had an A3 print that went all the way to Italy and back (delivery address issue at the Italian end) and while the packaging was a little tatty, the art print inside was still perfect!!

Occasionally I have had an issue on third party sites overcharging the shipping, but I have worked out how to refund part of the shipping, so I just put that back through to the customer – even if it is only $2.80, I got you.

The other items on my website are not items I keep in stock in my office studio in Stoke, Nelson, NZ. They are printed on demand and shipped by my awesome collaboration partners from all over the world. I love print on demand, it means I can offer a huge range of high quality items with no wastage, nothing is created until you order it, and then it is printed just for you. So the shipping rates are set by them and not something I have any control over.

Blue Duck Art Print

These cute birds are a taonga (treasured) species that Māori have a strong cultural, spiritual, and historic connection with. 

Their Māori name is whio in the North Island or ko whio whio in the South Island, which depicts the call of the male bird. They are forever watchful – they will always see you before you see them, and the male will sound the alarm call.

Whio are believed to be an ancient species of waterfowl, that appeared at a very early stage in evolutionary history. Their isolation in New Zealand has resulted in unique anatomical and behavioural features.

Whio are an iconic back-country species, and it features on the New Zealand $10 note.

The blue duck is a river specialist, and one of the few waterfowl worldwide that live year round on fast-flowing rivers.

They are a key indicator of healthy rivers and streams. They require clean, fast flowing streams in the forested upper catchments of rivers that provide high water quality, low sediment loadings, stable banks, over head canopy cover, and lots of varied invertebrate communities. The more breeding pairs of blue duck the healthier the river.

Whio / blue duck are found nowhere else in the world and are rarer than some species of kiwi.
