ORIGINAL WORKS
Each original painting is unique and a one-of-a-kind creation. A great amount of time and detail goes into each piece of art, from hand-painted brush strokes in acrylic and oil medium, to the unique art of airbrushing done with only the best of paints, Crea-tex Auto-Air Colors, and House of Kolors Automotive Paint. Aspects of geological layering, almost like sedimentary rock, are imparted with mixed mediums such as metallics, gold and silver flaking, the introduction of coppers and iron magnesium’s in fine powder as well as glass resins, pearls, and industrial candy coats as seen on high-end automobiles. Certain masterpieces also use elements of sculpture with molding paste, crackling, and organic material to highlight low and high points in the picture, creating a dimensional embossed image that leaps off the canvas.
ARTIST PROOFS
With the addition of all these materials and techniques in the original, you may ask, what does an Artist Proof look like and how does it differ from the original painting? Due to this unique style of artwork, normal prints are not even an option. An Artist Proof is painted in the same manner as an original, and all of the above techniques mentioned in the original are imparted in the Artist Proofs with one exception. Artist proofs are derived from the original image. The original is professionally photographed by Rob Ryan of Render DC prior to its completion. The artist proof file is digitally remastered with a spectrometer and color balanced to lead to the next step. It is then printed and stretched on canvas providing a mapping for the new proof. This is called an archival pigment print. The stretched canvas is then re-airbrushed in order to retain the true vibrant colors of the original. Molding paste, pearls, metal flakes, candies, and neon paints are incorporated, and then sealed with glass resins. The Artist Proof equals the Original. The Proof is of the same quality but has expressive variations. Essentially it is a new painting based on the Original. The price point of the Artist Proof can be marketed with substantial savings, thus providing the consumer access to a truly unique piece of art.

8 inch by 10 inch Dye-Sublimation Prints Limited Edition
Fine art photo printing on metal, or what is known as metal prints, is a relatively new industry. So what are metal prints? Simply put, metal prints are images printed on aluminum. But it is vastly more complicated than that. The secret is how the printing is done. Most photo prints are simply inkjet printers on a piece of canvas or other paper material. The print material fades, cannot be cleaned easily, and of course must be framed.
Fine art metal printing uses a technique called dye sublimation. Dye sublimation means that inks are turned into a vapor or gas before they turn into a liquid.
Dye sublimation is a digital print technology that allows the reproduction of full-color images on a variety of surfaces. Dye sublimation on hard surfaces is possible because the surfaces have been coated using an innovative manufacturing process that provides high-definition, durable photo panels that preserve images for generations. Instead of printing images directly on a surface, which may scratch easily, the image is infused into the coating to provide permanent protection and durability.
