Questions before you acquire.
What the work is made from, how it ships, what happens if something goes wrong, and who to contact. If your question is not here, ask us.
Collecting
What does one of one mean here?
It means exactly one physical work is released. Once someone acquires it, that work is retired. I do not make another copy or release a second edition.
Does the work come with a certificate of authenticity?
Yes. Every acquisition includes a certificate of authenticity signed by me. Keep it with your records for the work.
Do you take commissions?
No. I am not taking custom commissions. The available works are the pieces I have chosen to release from Unapologetic Faces.
Who do I contact if I want to acquire a work?
Corey Wesley is the artist and founder of Milton Wes Art and the primary contact for acquisition inquiries. The studio assists prospective collectors with availability and the acquisition process under Milton Wes Art's established pricing and acquisition terms.
What are the payment terms?
Full payment is standard. If Shop Pay Installments appears for you at checkout, eligibility and terms are handled by Shop Pay and Affirm, not Milton Wes Art. The work ships after payment is confirmed.
Artwork & Materials
How do you create the work?
I usually start with an emotion, a contradiction, or something I cannot shake. I work through writing, Photoshop, Illustrator, and technology-assisted tools, then keep refining the face, color, symbolism, and composition until it says what I meant. Some pieces come together quickly. Others take months.
What formats do you offer?
There are two: archival aluminum and framed fine art. The product page tells you the format and exact dimensions for each work.
Why do you use aluminum?
I like what aluminum does with contrast and light. The image stays sharp, there is nothing covering the surface, and the piece changes a little as the light in the room changes.
Does the work arrive ready to hang?
Yes. Framed works arrive framed with hanging hardware attached. Aluminum works use a French cleat and float about half an inch off the wall. You do not need to have either format framed again.
Will the color look exactly the same as it does on my screen?
Not always. Screens differ in brightness and calibration, so a small shift in tone is possible. The composition and overall color relationships remain the same.
Shipping & Delivery
When will my work ship?
Framed and matted works ship to the 50 U.S. states and Canada, with estimated delivery in 7 to 9 calendar days from the order date. Aluminum works ship only to the 50 U.S. states, including Alaska and Hawaii, with estimated delivery in 7 to 10 calendar days from the order date. U.S. territories are excluded. T-shirts ship to the 50 U.S. states and Canada, with estimated delivery in 6 to 9 calendar days from the order date. Shipping is included for eligible U.S. and Canadian orders. Canadian buyers are responsible for duties and import taxes. Dates are estimates, not guarantees. You will receive tracking when the order ships. The certificate of authenticity is sent separately for artwork.
How is the work packed?
The packaging depends on the format, but the goal is simple: protect the corners, surface, and structure during transit.
What if an order is damaged, lost, wrong, or marked delivered but missing?
Contact corey@miltonwesart.com. Transit damage and wrong items must be reported promptly and no later than 48 hours after delivery. Include the order number and clear photographs of the item, outer box, shipping label, and packing materials. Keep the original packaging.
Milton Wes Art manages carrier investigations for shipments lost before delivery and packages marked delivered but missing. A delivered scan does not by itself confirm loss. The confirmed-loss, damage, return, and refund procedures appear in Shipping, Delivery & Claims.
Returns & Policies
Can I return a work if I change my mind?
Except where law requires otherwise or the Shipping, Delivery & Claims policy provides a remedy, sales are final. Milton Wes Art does not accept cancellations, exchanges, or change-of-mind returns.
Can I exchange one work for another?
No. If you are unsure about scale or placement, contact us before you acquire the piece. It is much easier to answer that question before the work ships.
Care & Display
How do I clean an aluminum work?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaners, and avoid keeping the work in constant direct sunlight.
How do I clean a framed work?
Dust the frame gently. If the front needs cleaning, put the cleaner on the cloth instead of spraying the work directly. Avoid high humidity and long periods of direct sunlight.
Designers & Hospitality
Do you work with interior designers, hotels, and hospitality projects?
Yes. We can narrow the available work by wall size, scale, and the feeling you want the room to have. You do not need to sort through the entire collection on your own.
What should I send with a designer or hospitality inquiry?
Email corey@miltonwesart.com with the wall dimensions, installation timeline, and a photo of the space if you have one. Tell me what you want the room to feel like. I will send back a short group of works that actually fit.
Still have a question? Send it. We would rather answer it before you acquire the work than leave you guessing.
