All the images on this site are available as high-quality gicleé prints made by the artist in his studio. Bruce's background is in printmaking, so this is a labor of love, not a job to be sent out to a print lab. After the painting is completed, it is taken to be professionally scanned. The digital file is brought into the computer and adjusted for color and contrast. Small details might be retouched, and proportions adjusted. When all is satisfactory, it is ready for printing.

Gicleé prints are made on an Epson 7600 with pigment inks on archival-rated paper, certified to be fade-resistant for 80 years or so. The images on the website cannot convey the full richness of color these prints have. The paper is white with a matte surface, so the blacks are rich and velvety, the highlights vivid. If you like the image here, you'll love the print!

Several options are offered. A LOOSE PRINT is the most economical choice, unless you take it to a framer, which can cause sticker shock! When possible, the images are offered in standard frame sizes, so you can drop the print into one purchased at your favorite store. A white border is usual on the loose prints, so this will have to be trimmed before putting it into the frame. For non-standard sizes measured in full inches, you can purchase a SECTIONAL FRAME at many office supply stores. You buy two packages, at the width and height measurements. These are easy to put together, and inexpensive.

A MATTED PRINT is available if you choose. The only choice is an off-white mat board, no colors are offered. 16x20 and larger sizes are mounted to a foam backing board first. This is a process that uses an acid free glue to completely adhere the paper to the flat board using a vacuum press. Otherwise, slight ripples might show up, especially in damp weather. A double matting option is available by request. The main reason for matting is to raise the glass in the frame above the surface of the print slightly. Otherwise, the artwork tends to adhere to the glass over time.

The mat is offered in standard frame sizes when possible so the complete package (backing board, print and mat) can be dropped into store-bought frames. The width of the mat is between 2 and 3 inches on each side. If only a non-standard size is possible, it is so noted on the order page. A certificate and custom foil stamp are adhered to the back, and a crystal clear bag protects the package.

THE GALLERY BOX FRAME presents the print mounted to the surface of a 2" deep wood box with black sides. The corners are mitered and bracing is added where needed. The edges are crisp and frameless. Each box is made by the artist in his studio and arrives complete and ready to hang on your wall, with eyelets and wire. The surface of the print is vulnerable but will take an occassional dusting without a problem. A clean, modern look that puts the art forward off the wall.
