John’s
works are carefully reproduced on acid free paper using the latest
techniques in lithography. He also has his works reproduced on
canvas using the "Giclee" process.
LITHOGRAPHS: The process from original painting
to the final paper reproduction is quite extensive. High resolution
photographs are scanned, enlarged, proofed (by both printer and
artist) corrected and proofed again. This process continues until
John is satisfied with the final product. Only then do we "go
to press". At press side once again John works in conjunction
with the press men to fine tune the colour flow to each of the
numerous plates. At that point the finest of fade resistant inks
are applied to the finest of acid free paper to produce the quality
product that John proudly makes available to his distributor.
John’s regular edition (anything but "regular"),
his remarque edition and his open edition prints are done to the
same exacting standards using identical inks, dyes and processes
throughout.
Regular edition: The edition size is based on anticipated
demand but is usually 950 or 1950. Artist’s proofs numbering
10% of edition size are available when requested. Publisher’s
proofs may or may not be available.
Remarques: This is a regular edition print with
a hand drawn sketch at the bottom. John carefully does each sketch
to exacting standards - the theme enhances the picture’s
subject to provide a truly collectible piece. The edition size
is limited to 390 although artist’s proofs and publisher’s
proofs (if available) can be remarqued upon request.
Open Editions: John has a series of some of his most
popular images done in miniature. When framed they can work in
tandem to enhance other artwork. Each open edition print is individually
signed by the artist. The edition size is not limited. Please
contact us or your local gallery to determine what images are
available.

GICLEE:
(pronounced "gee-clay") This is a fairly recent process
that blends the art world with the world of computers. Simply stated,
the process is a high resolution , digital ink jet reproduction
onto canvas. The same exacting process of proofing and correcting
takes place before the final product is complete. Only the finest
of fade proof dyes and high quality canvases are used. The final
product is astonishing, making it difficult to distinguish between
the Giclee reproduction and the original. The edition size is limited
to 95 or 195 with each piece numbered and signed by the artist.
