About This Image

There’s something truly classic about the Union Jack or Union Flag of Great Britain. The current design dates back to the Act of Union of 1801 when the Irish parliament was dissolved and Ireland was officially added to the United Kingdom. But the history of the Union Jack goes even further back to 1606 when the flags of Scotland and England were first combined under James I (James VI of Scotland). Most of Ireland has since left that Union (1922) and Scotland and Wales now have their own parliaments, but the Union Jack has remained the same for over 200 years. Originally the Union Jack was more of a heraldic flag representing the armed forces of the royal family. No act of Parliament has ever made it the official national flag but it is certainly the de facto flag that most of us would identify as representing Great Britain.

That long history was something I wanted to acknowledge in this Union Jack artwork. I wanted this flag print to have a classic vintage style that suggested it had been around for years. Perhaps this flag was painted on the clapboards of an old building and weathered by the sea somewhere? Perhaps it was once on an old barracks? Whatever story you may think accompanies it, this old Union Jack has a distinctive character all its own. Don’t you love that distressed rustic charm?

What exactly attracted you to this rustic Union Jack? Does this classic flag fit in with your British themed decor? Or maybe it reminds you of a cool vacation you once took? Maybe this vintage style flag reminds you of home? Whatever the reason, I hope you will take a second to stop and share how you connected with this particular piece of British themed art!

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
