What? No more Giclee reproductions?

We've closed out 'Giclee' reproductions, and we do not expect to produce more. Quality control is time consuming and difficult, and despite the industry rhetoric, digital inks fade too quickly in many Florida conditions.

Fine Prints

We DO hope to resume making genuine prints -- etchings and woodcuts -- in the future. Meanwhile, please see Fine Prints.
