We produce two types of prints: Editioned and Digital. Editioned prints are typically serigraphs, reliefs, and such as that. Digital Prints are created using a number of methods, including conventional printing, digital photograph printing, and printing-at-print-shop printing. I know, it's weird, but whatever.

These are editioned prints. While most of them are serigraphs, there may also be some relief prints, lithographs, or what have you, floating around in there. These are for the most part printed on rag paper, though some are on other types of paper, depending upon what was at hand. The lowest quality here is cardstock, which is still pretty good. Editioned prints will only ever exist in a limited quantity since, once printed, the means to make them are destroyed. Some of the original artwork that these were based upon is still available, so if you're interested let us know. Please note that because of both the nature of fine art printmaking, and our personal philosophy on the subject, there will always be minor variations between each print in the edition- to get a sense of this in action, check out our huge print project from a couple of years ago.

Unit2505 Unit2505-2 Unit2505-2

Unit2505 14"x17"
So the deal here is that three moderately identical drawings were produced of my frequently reoccurring lady robot. They were done using a light table from an initial drawing (that was subsequently destroyed) in order to get the basic structure identical, but were finished loosely to allow for natural drift. I also used a very open pen nib to allow for unexpected puddling, drips, and variations. Finally, they were colored using ink wash

$75 - Unit2505-1.
