For over thirty years, I've watched my paintings go right from the easel into private and corporate collections. For that I am most grateful. However, as a not very prolific painter who believes that art should be mainly about communication, I often longed for a way to reach a wider audience.

The advent of the Internet and Giclée printing have made it possible to share my vision with that wider audience.

When I heard about giclée printing, I was excited to think of the extended life that was suddenly opened up for my paintings.

But were they permanent? Were they affordable? These and other questions came quickly to mind as I began learning about this exciting new medium.

 
         
What is a Giclée?
         
   

Giclée (zhee-clay) is a French word meaning "to spray." In other words, it is an inkjet print, much like those that can now be produced on a desktop printer. But on Steroids. Capable of printing large format images on watercolor paper, canvas, and other media, using as many as twelve colors, Giclée printers spray millions of microscopic droplets of ink, per second, resulting in resolutions higher than traditional lithography, resulting in crisp contrast and rich, intense colors. The results can be breathtaking.

First, a digital scan is made, either from a 4" x 5" photographic transparency, or directly from the original, up to 50" x 50" and transferred to a computer. Then, using Adobe Photoshop and other programs, I correct and clean up the image. This is a process that takes from several hours to days of work and test prints until everything is just the way I want it. It is then archived on disk, in order to assure consistency.

 
         
  CLICK FOR INFORMATION AND ENLARGEMENT  

When finished and properly framed under glass, or, in the case of stretched canvases, covered with a protective coating, the final Giclée is archival and will last for 75 to 150 years under normal conditions.

BULLY
This is a Serigraph, or screen print, which I made the old fashioned way-by hand-with printer John Armstrong in Phoenix back in the '80s. It is not a photo reproduction screen print. To see the original oil painting on which it was loosely based, click here.
