Me: Limited Edition hotsell Giclée Prints

ABOUT THE WORK + PLEASE READ

ABOUT THE WORK
This painting may have been my first self-portrait in oil. It is a record of my process of schlepping through the muddiness and messiness of my own feelings about the many layers of myself.

It was painted in thick oil paint. I would let the paint half-dry on my palette, abandoning my work for days and weeks. Then I would return, smearing it back on, scraping it away, trying to find the bones of what was real underneath it all.

The lesson of this work is, simply, "I am."


LIMITED EDITION

All prints are limited edition, signed and numbered by the artist unless otherwise indicated.
Once that size is gone, it is gone forever.
16" x 20" cotton paper - limited edition of 10 prints only
18" x 24" stretched canvas - limited edition of 5 prints only
24" x 36" stretched canvas - limited edition of 5 prints only

Will there ever be other sizes printed? Maybe, as greeting cards or something else--then again, maybe not. But if you want these sizes on paper or canvas, THIS IS IT. Period.


GICLÉE PAPER PRINTS:

-Espon 100% cotton rag

-Signature-Worthy cold press fine art paper

-340 gsm

-unframed (you will want to buy a frame)


GICLÉE STRETCHED CANVAS PRINTS, PLEASE READ

-looks like an original on canvas, with deep edges raised 1.5" from hotsell the wall

-professionally color-matched to the original

-Epson cotton-poly blend*

-Signature-Worthy Exhibition Matte

-coated with satin uv/water protectant at 395 gsm

-ready to hang, no need to frame!


Stretched canvas prints are gorgeous reproductions that are very difficult to distinguish from the original; I've had art directors at museums be unable to tell they are prints. My printer is that awesome.


WTF IS GICLÉE ANYWAY?

"Giclée" means "squirt" (someone who wasn't French decided to use this French word to refer to fine art printing because they were trying to sound fancy). Giclée printing refers to the practice of using extremely high density (dots per inch) inkjet printers to squirt ink onto high quality fine art paper. Giclée is not a regulated term. If artists are advertising giclée prints, ask them about their print process. LaMB Fine Art prints are printed professionally by Asheville Fine Art printing with the highest quality Epson printers utilizing highly pixelated images for the most vibrant, gorgeous reproductions possible that transmit the emotive quality of the original work.


I believe that if I'm going to decide that it's worth it to sacrifice a tree to share my art, it might as well be for prints that are as high quality as possible, both in terms of color matching and clarity/density of ink. It is my intention to do my art justice. And the tree!


FRAMING

All prints are unframed unless otherwise indicated. With a paper print you will want to buy a frame separately. I suggest finding a local woodworker who makes frames out of upcycled barnwood for a beautiful eco-friendly option that supports a local craftsman. With a canvas print you don't need to: it's ready to go.

SHIPPING TIME

If it's listed here and it's paper, it's in stock in my studio and ships within the week. If it's canvas, please allow up to 2-3 weeks to receive your work. Canvas prints are printed and stretched on demand, which is labor intensive and takes time to get your stretches picture perfect. I care a lot about getting you the highest quality work possible, and I'm grateful you're investing in LaMB Fine Art. Please allow me the time to invest in your art to last a lifetime. If you are in a rush or have a special deadline, please do reach out at lambfineart [!at] gmail.com


*Canvas disclaimer: canvas for printing is different from canvas you paint on. Canvases are stretched perfectly tight to order. No matter what you do, years down the road this canvas can gather moisture. This is why it is stretched over premium heavy duty stretcher strips and includes tension wedges. All you have to do is insert the wedge in the corner slots, tap them with a hammer, and the canvas is perfectly tight like the day you bought it once more! All canvas purchases come with a video by me on how to do this. It's super simple! Just ask for me to email you the link!
