Our Notes
Progress Not Perfection is a vibrant and playful artwork by Rob Draper. Encouraging us to welcome the mistakes that come from creativity, the artwork encapsulates Rob’s values and his passion for letter art. We love how Rob embraces the splatters and drips of white paint in this work, using them to promote the piece’s message and celebrate imperfection.
This artwork was produced by Rob as part of our collaboration with the charity Heart Felt All. Proceeds from this work will go towards this charity and will help provide art supplies to young people who can’t always afford them.

Rob received a degree in visual communication from the University of Central England. The artist has worked with a range of worldwide clients including The Golden Globes, Nike, Gap, Levi’s, Samsung, Penguin, Harper & Collins, WWF, and The Washington Post, among others. He lectures on art and design, and his artwork has been featured in worldwide publications including IdN International Designers Network Magazine, Design Taxi, UC Quarterly, The Design Museum London, and The Daily Mail, among others. We’ve been working with Rob Draper since 2015.
We love the intricacy and detail Rob pours into each of his creations. Inspired by the bold lines and colour of the Pop Art movement, his typography work holds a vibrant kinetic energy. Rob says of his artwork: "I love the idea of the contrast of the chaos and urgency of the lettering style mounted on the wall in someone’s perfectly tidy home or office." He succeeds in instilling his words with emotion and meaning, despite his compositions being so simple.
What is a limited edition?
So you’ve found your perfect limited edition artwork, but what does this actually mean? Limited editions are original artworks that an artist creates in a particular print medium, such as a giclée print, screen print or photograph. Our limited edition artworks are specifically created by our talented artists with a maximum edition number in mind. The term ‘limited edition’ refers to the total number of artworks that are available for that particular piece.

What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
