Prints -- The Big Picture

I recently signed on with Jim Odom and Infinity Fine Art Publishing.  These are great folks and are producing the best product on the market.   I couldn't be happier with what we are doing.   I'd been waiting for God to show me who would be my publisher for several years, and  I know this was meant to be!   Publishing has always been a desire for me, because I want there to be a more affordable way for you to own my art work.

Please take the time to understand some of the different terminology of fine art publishing:

Canvas Prints - these are the new hightech Giclee' Prints (Giclee' means "squirt" in French) and is the fancy term they chose for the process where an Ink Jet Printer sprays (squirts) ink directly onto the canvas.  Not only does it look like an original because it is on canvas, but we then hand highlight the print with paint, and add brush stroke texture to give it an even more realistic  "original" painting look.  The print is then coated with a UV protectant so it will not fade and will last for decades!    I personally highlight the Artist's Proof editions of 15-25 (this is a picture of me doing this at a show in Gatlinburg TN) and another artist  highlights the Signed and Numbered prints ( usually there are only 95 in the editions).   You won't believe how close these resemble my orginal paintings.  I have a couple hanging in my own home and studio, and no one knows!  It's like wearing cubic zeronia jewelry! 

Paper Prints are the old fashioned 4 color press lithographs on acid free paper.   The Prints that were done by my former publisher, which I have for sale, are the artist proof editions of 75.   I do not have the Signed and numbered editions in these.   Some are sold out from the publisher and I have some of the only images produce by them left.  My new publisher (Infinity) is creating some smaller open edition paper lithos for sale now and they are really affordable!

A/P stands for Artist's Proofs - and is a special smaller edition, and usually the first ones I see and sign.  In the Cavas giclee' prints, there are only 15 of these (in the future we may start doing more)  

S/N stands for Signed and Numbered prints.  We normally do 95 SN's in the canvas prints and  250 in paper.

P/P stands for Publisher's Proofs.  These are a special promotional edition of 50 or so prints that the publisher uses to get my work in new galleries.  Each gallery is allowed to buy one at an extreemly reduced price... I mean extreemly!   They  just can't pass it up!

Everything mentioned above can be purchased from me, but I would love for you to go to your local gallery or print shop and show them my website and the prints that we have for sale.    You can even copy and paste the following info to a Word Document and hand it to the dealer to explain a special deal Infinity Fine Art is doing to promote my work and get it on the walls of more galleries:
