Description

I had some art arrived today. I have had 1000's of packages arrive over the years and this is only the second to have significant damage. I have had folds and creases before and some water damage but those are rare. Th one other bad one is already posted in this gallery. Today I add some more art to this gallery of woe. It is here to serve as a reminder of what to do when packaging. I don't mind art being mailed in tubes, i find it very safe as long as the tube is a sturdy mailing tube which this one was not. I also think all art should be in plastic bags so if the package gets wet, the moisture does not get to the art.

You can see the damaged end of the tube here. It is damp and was quite floppy moving with the slightest shake of the tube. There are a few other creases in the tube higher up from other folds. I opened the tube from the dry end hoping the art was on that side but it wasn't. When i tried to open the tube, it was so damp that the tube just peeled away with almost no effort. You can see the art peaking out of the tube in some of the images. Although creased and water damaged, the art did not tear. I am hoping some pressing and drying will help it flatten.

So, just a reminder to be safe out there when shipping. Put the art in plastic so moisture can't get to it. Make sure the package is sturdy so it can't be bent. Lets all do our part to keep art safe.
