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.Hi. My name is Tony Bui. I was born in Northern California in the 80s, a time when cereal and cartoons ruled my Saturday mornings. In 2007, I graduated from San Jose State University with a BFA in Illustration and Animation. In 2010, I made the move to Southern California to pursue opportunities in the illustration and art industry. In 2016, I returned back to San Jose to be closer to family and still remain committed to growing my career and passion. It continues to be a fun ride. All my work is character driven. Every character I create/ design is a new friend that I make along the way. My sense of design is heavily inspired by graphic elements and clean shapes. I take that same concept and apply it to non-character work to give every design personality. Below is a list of clients I have worked/published with —
