The Girl With The Map Painting
As part of a trio, I stole money from an Eastern European-looking town. As we were spray-painting the walls of an abandoned house, we were seen by the authorities and fled. I was on the run forever after, often travelling by boat. I would pass a so-called Hercules Fountain. By adding one of these to your house, it apparently became a heritage site. I stayed around a little longer in one of the towns. No one here knew what I had done. I would go and see a Grandmother figure who had a small Girl living with her. The Girl would draw on a colourful circle map and I would join in, as the Grandmother figure just sat there.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
