Iron Mermaiden
This was an experiment to see what it would look like to paint a really dark, matte image onto an even darker background. But once I got into the painting, I realized that I really really liked the idea of gold leaf and it really made the tattoos pop. Unfortunately, gold leaf is harder to put onto a print.
This giclee is printed onto high quality, Innova Rough Textured fine art paper which is 315gsm (gsm = grams per square meter, it means the paper is thicker/heavier). Almost all of my printing is still taken care of by my friends down at PGH Print Ship, a great local print shop who does fantastic work.
