Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints. Born in New Orleans and raised in the San Francisco bay area, Dave Correia has been drawing his entire life. At an early age, he was administered a steady dosage of comic books, horror films and video games; all of which have had strong influences on his artistic style today. His drawings are often tedious with detail and washed with de-saturated yet subtle color. He has described his work as therapeutic and frustrating all at once. Dave's illustrations were widely seen in the successful Scion XD Little Deviant advertising campaign. His illustrations were used in numerous commercials, print ads, billboards, websites, posters, vehicle wraps and various guerilla marketing strategies. Aside from his freelance artwork, Dave also self-publishes and exhibits his personal work at various comic shows and art galleries across the country.
