All of my prints start out as a digital photograph.
I then manipulate each image in Photoshop and Illustrator. The final image is a vector based image- meaning it can be scaled to just about any size imaginable- without any loss of image quality.
Each Giclee' is printed to order on a large format printer. I only use Epson printers when printing on canvas or paper.
The canvases are then stretched the old fashion way- by hand. I do not use a machine to stretch canvases.
Each giclee' is a unique piece printed on archival canvas using pigment based inks of the highest quality; their archival rating exceeds 150 years under gallery display conditions in tests performed by the Wilhelm Research Institute. The canvases are then coated with a UV matte protective coating, extending the life of the artwork even further and eliminates the need for framing under glass. The finish on the canvas is a matte finish. Each artwork is titled, signed and dated on the bottom by me - the artist!

Each image is a limited edition of 50 - regardless of size. This means you can order an image in any size that is offered- and it counts as one of the edition of 50. If you order a 3' version and someone else orders a 5' version of the same print- there are only 48 total prints left. Currently there are about 6 sizes available. I am capable of printing larger than 6'- i just haven't done it to date!
