Uncle Sam painted on a distressed wall | Limited Edition of 10
As I explored the urban tapestry, I stumbled upon a wall where a visage of Uncle Sam was painted, embodying a blend of history and contemporary artistry. The distressed texture of the wall, with its chips and cracks, added a compelling dimension to the iconic image, illustrating a narrative rich in historical evocations and present-day reflections.
The portrayal of Uncle Sam, with his stern gaze and pointed finger, emerged amidst the wear and tear of the wall, as if weaving a dialogue between the past and the present. The rustic backdrop of the distressed wall created a striking contrast to the vibrant hues of the painting, rendering a raw yet poignant imagery.
Uncle Sam, a symbolic figure representing the United States, finds a unique expression on this weathered canvas, evoking a sense of patriotism intertwined with a stark reality of change and endurance over time.
Through my lens, I aimed to capture the essence of this urban artwork, its historical resonance, and the contemporary relevance it holds amidst the evolving social landscape. This photograph is not just an image; it’s a reflection on the enduring symbolism of Uncle Sam, encapsulated on a canvas that bears the marks of time. The print invites one to delve into a visual dialogue between the iconic and the real, offering a glimpse into the complex tapestry of history and identity that defines the narrative of the nation.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
