Tim Biskup is an American artist recognized for his vibrant and dynamic works that encompass painting, sculpture, printmaking, and design. His style blends influences from mid-20th-century modern design, punk rock, and pop surrealism, resulting in pieces characterized by bold colors and intricate patterns. Biskup studied at the Otis College of Art and Design before venturing into the animation and illustration industries, where he contributed to projects for companies like Disney and Cartoon Network. Biskup co-founded GAMA-GO, a San Francisco-based retail company specializing in housewares, gifts, apparel, toys, and accessories. 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.
