April Fool’s Email - Original Print?

I received this email today and April Fool’s - the return address did not work - and since the response was pertinent and I couldn’t actually give it after I had written it, I thought I would go ahead and print both.

Hello Dan

I was most interested in your site and what you have to say about your work and to pass on this brief note to say how much I enjoyed it.

I am often asked by the general public what is an original print? I am sure you get asked a similar question about your original computer generated printed work. I find such questions difficult to reply to even if the work is hand drawn.

I wonder if when you print one of your pieces if you destroy the file so that image is also offered as unique or is each painting printed as an edition of say 50 or so?

With regards

Roger
