Digital Art Prints ~ Original

Like lithograph, serigraph and etchings but no degradation

Below is the "Returned Response" to the email question below or found at Digital Art Question.

Hi Roger,

Thank you for the note.

There is original as in the case of a monoprint and then there is original as in the case of a lithograph, serigraph, etching or I suppose even an artist guided giclée (even though it wasn’t necessarily designed with that intent).

Digital art prints fall into the latter category. I do know one person who does digital work and prints without saving - but to me that is a waste of the medium.

Part of the beauty for me is that it is a way of potentially mass producing original works.

Having said that, I do limit my larger sizes to just 10 pieces - following the fine art photography guidelines which I got from a gallery in San Francisco - but somehow I think this is new territory and there are no real rules yet.

There are definitely difficulties in the language in a lot of areas; for instance I don’t view my work as being generated by a computer in any fashion - powered perhaps.

But I think a lot of this is semantics - finding the right way to explain what one is doing takes practice and experimentation.

I hope what I have said is of some help. Thanks again for your interest.

All the best,

Dan
