What is offset lithograph?
The majority of my paintings are reproduced by this method. The original art is scanned and plates are made that represent the major colors that were used in the painting (it’s really a lot more technical than that!). Plates are created, aligned, and finally fixed to the press. Using special fade resistant inks (usually four basic colors) and 100% acid free paper, the pressman and the artist work together adjusting the colors and saturation levels until the desired effect is achieved (or until the print is sick of the artist!). After drying, I inspect and sign and number each print. Because this is a limited edition, after the printing is complete, the plates are destroyed.
