Journal Entry: Fri May 8, 2009, 2:37 AM




After a few months of rest, I'm getting back to selling prints of my artworks.

I've completely changed the way I deal with prints: I have discontinued my old 8x11" offset prints, and from now on I'll be only making very limited editions of Fine Art Giclee prints. Why so? Well, because the quality of Giclee prints is just AMAZING, and their larger size allows me to get the closest possible reproduction of the original works. Now that I've seen them, I feel that anything less is just not worth it...! Most of the artworks available are recent works that were never published as prints. I also picked a few of my favourite older works that were previously published as small offset prints to make a small run of large Giclee prints, but the rest of my gallery is probably not coming back as prints... sorry! :)

Details about the Giclee prints
- Giclee is a printing process for highest quality art reproduction, that uses 8-colour inks deposited as extremely fine droplets on the paper (unlike regular Fine Art printers that use 4 or 6-colours inks and can reproduce only so much colour shades). It uses pigment inks, unlike regular printers: the colours are vibrant and have an excellent lightfastness, and it achieves a very high level of details.
- My prints are printed on Museum 310g/m² Fine Art paper, an acid-free archival paper, free of optical brighteners. The size in the description is the size of the paper sheet, the artwork is printed with a white border for matting and framing. I try to stick, as much as possible, to the original size of the artwork so that your print is really the next best thing you can get after the original.
- All prints are limited editions, numbered and signed. Usually they're editions of 10 prints, with an exception for Paper Birds for which I got many requests, and which will be an edition of 25 (it's also cheaper).


I've put some pictures of the prints on my blog so that you can see what they look like. :)


Available as Prints

Please contact me if you would like to order prints.
Those prints are also available on my Etsy shop - but I'm only listing on Etsy the prints for which I currently have copies at home (Giclees are expensive so I can't afford to print the whole edition at once!). You can order all prints directly from me: once you've received my confirmation and sent your payment, you are garanteed to receive your print - I just can't garantee to send it within 10 days like I do on Etsy, you'll have to wait until I pick the next batch at my printshop. :)

I only take Paypal for payments!!
Please do ont send me ANY money until you've received my confirmation that your print is booked.


Thank you very much! :D

Je vois comment est la qualité :) je me souviens au salon du livre, j'étais tombé amoureuse de grandes reproductions avec des cathédrales dessus et puis quand j'ai vu le prix j'ai halluciné @_@ ! J'imagine même pas le prix que ça coûte pour les faire faire... mais en tout cas, j'avoue que la qualité est excellente, j'aime beaucoup le grain :)

:iconkaleb20:
Yeah... I know you will sell them!
Any chance you'll have the other kind of prints on the shop? The less expensive ones...
I really want these new ones, but I can't afford them at the moment... =(
:iconkmye-chan:
Oui, ça coûte une fortune de les faire tirer... c'est pour ça que je suis obligée de faire les impressions une par une !
Mais question qualité, par rapport à l'offset, ça n'a juste... rien à voir...! J'en ai encadré deux pour l'expo à Melun et une fois sous verre, même moi je suis incapable de distinguer l'original de la repro. Ca vaut vraiment le coup, même si c'est sûr que c'est pas donné et que je ne vais pas en vendre des tonnes. C'est un bel objet ! :)

Thanks! :)
No, I won't have the offset prints back... it was too much work to have them printed and to ship them. And the quality is really cheap compared to the Giclee, they make me cringe when I see them now!
I'll try to make postcards soon though, they'll be a nice and cheap alternative to the prints, although much smaller of course!

Well, I think postcards would be great! They would be cheaper than the Giclee prints, but for the ones like me that can't afford the bigger ones, they would be great! Think about it =)
By the way, your art is absolutely stunning.
And thank you so much for answering me =D
:iconsolarissky:
I'm so excited!! :love: I have to save up for Paper Birds, so I hope it doesn't sell out. Giclee quality is so amazing! I had a print done and I was awed at how much it looked like the original. Technology is amazing (and scary haha).

Thankyou for the note letting me know about the sale :heart: Goodluck, I hope you make a fortune!

It is nice that you are taking the time to do things right. I know from past experience that if a print is set up correctly on one of those printers, it is often hard to distinguish from the original.
:iconkmye-chan:
Yes, that's true! I'm blown away by the quality of those prints. They're sure expensive to make, but really worth it. :)
