GOYA & HIS DOG

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. Will Barras along with Mr Jago and Steff is one of the original Scrawl Collective members. He was already on the road to success with the now famous Hip Hop Don't Stop sleeves already under his belt when the collective first formed. Like his compadre Mr Jago, Will began his glittering career in a call centre. Doodling stopped him going insane, and he developed a fucked up way to hold a pencil and a distinctive illustrative style which to this day is like no one else on earth.
