Gotham City Print on Wood

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. I’m a LA based artist that customizes toys for fun. My work is influenced by the 1920′s era of architecture and art as well as modern toy art and their artists. I mainly work with vinyl toys, acrylic, sculpey clay, and other various materials I find can be of use. I find each custom can be approached differently while still maintaining my style. I figured, I love so many styles, why not create one that mixes them all. Customizing is part of my life now. I love the toy community and plan to be a major artist within it one day.
