A select few of my favourite paintings have been made into Limited Edition Giclee (ZheeClay) prints on canvas. Giclee printing uses the latest inkjet printing technology to create images which are practically indistinguishable from the original artwork. Look as close as you like and you won't be able to tell the difference. The detail is so compelling that art museums like the Louvre in Paris frequently use giclee prints of there originals to display to the public in place of paintings which are being cleaned or restored.
It takes me about 2 days to scan the original painting piece by piece and rebuild the image on my computer, colour adjusting to ensure the final print will be indistinguishable from the original. I've used computers for over 15 years and have trained and worked as a graphic designer - that's how I've gained the knowledge to be able to do this. Most artists have their work photographed, the transparency film scanned, and then printed. This creates a somewhat blurry print - the fine brushwork detail is lost. Because I scan my paintings directly their is no loss of detail. The print is as crisp as the original and you have to touch the brushstroke to discover that there's actually no lump there.
The finest materials are used in the printing process ensuring that the finished giclee will not show any signs of fading for up to 100 years (unless hung in direct sunlight). When finished they are also coated with a UV protective varnish giving a fine satin finish. Each giclee is hand-stretched by me and signed and numbered on the reverse. Postage and packaging within New Zealand costs $30 and worldwide costs $130, and the postage for the unstretched giclee's is about half that cost. Unstretched prints are delivered in a tube and can be framed or stretched as you wish.
