This image was photographed onto Fugi 100 ASA Velvia film. My process invloves creating a "photographic etching" onto film that I will convert into a digital file or "printing plate" to be read for make a giclee digital print with archival long-lasting inks.
Each print includes a Certificate of Authenticity describing the type of print and my original process of making each print.

A picture that is hard to believe that it is not a painting are my prints on canvas that I embellish the lines and texture with clear acrylic brush strokes. A truly beautiful piece that is original and comes alive with just a simple frame. Glass is not needed since the print is finished with a UV blocking varnish.
