Giclee Prints English Bulldog graphite pencil drawings

The two English Bulldog graphite pencil drawing will be available as an "open edition" giclee series. The prints measure 12" x 16". More breeds will become available in the up coming weeks.

What is Giclée?

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a coined term for the process of creating fine art prints from a digital source by means of a ink-jet printer.

The word "giclée" is resulting from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray".

The goal of that name was to differentiate from known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were creating on those same types of printers.

The name first referred to fine art prints produced on Iris printers in a procedure invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries, museums and print shops to signify such prints.
