update

down to wire on show...painting around clock. I have started to make some giclee prints which are really nice.

Giclees are a new form of "Prints"

Artists tend to use these types of inkjet printing processes commonly called "Giclée" to make reproductions of their original two-dimensional artwork, photographs or computer generated art. Professionally produced inkjet prints are much more expensive on a “per print” basis than the traditional four color offset lithography process originally used to make such reproductions (a large format inkjet can cost more than $50 a print, not including scanning and color correction, as opposed to $5 a print for a four-color offset litho of the same image printed in a run of 1000). However, since the artist does not need to pay for market and store large print runs, and since the artist can print and sell each print individually to match demand, inkjet printing is used as an economical alternative to producing large runs of four color offset prints. Inkjet printing has the added advantage of allowing the artist to control every aspect of the image, its color and the substrate printed on, and even allows the artist to own and operate the printer itself.

  1. Salut Alex,
    Je suis d'accord avec toi.
    J' utilise moi même le tirage photo dans un labo pour mes photos "d' art abstrait".
    Le travail sur la couleur après tirage est une bonne expérience artistique.
    A bientôt,

    Aeris
