Coca Cola painted on a wood plank wall | Limited Edition of 10
Coca-Cola Painted on a Wood Plank Wall
I was walking down a side street in Mysore when I saw it—half-covered in grime, worn thin by time and sun. A Coca-Cola ad faded into the brick wall, as if it were being slowly erased. But even in that state—especially in that state—it held power. That raw, deteriorated surface became the foundation for this fine art wall print.
The wall told more than one story—layers of paint, ghost signs, forgotten colour. You could see traces of older ads beneath the red—bits of lettering, shadowed outlines, maybe even hand-painted borders. The Coca-Cola faded wall in Mysore, India, wasn’t just weathered; it was layered, like sediment built over decades.
That’s what caught my attention. This wasn’t meant to be preserved. The ad was there for glances from passing scooters and market carts. But the way it held on—tilting, cracking, fading—gave it a second life. That’s what I wanted to capture. Not nostalgia. Not branding. Just surface, time, and texture turned into a quiet fine art wall print.
I kept the framing tight. No distractions. Just the washed-out colour, the cracked wooden board, the typography barely holding shape. What was once bright and commercial is now abstract—half-erased language turned into a slow-burning story. That’s what drew me in. And it’s why this scene now lives on, printed with intention instead of buried under another coat of paint.
I didn’t expect to stop here. I was on my way to photograph something else entirely. But this wall—this moment of slow decay—pulled me in. I wasn’t interested in making a statement about branding or history. I just wanted to show how something can be beautiful long after it has ceased to be useful. This wall art image is a quiet tribute to that kind of beauty.

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.
