  • At the base of the study the artist has written in pencil the creatures name and Latin scientific classification
  •  Signed by the artist and the prints number within the 950 limited edition.

What is particularly appealing about this piece is its astonishingly improbable pretty pastel colors
ablaze with what seem like stars across the entire length of its body,
which in turn is shrouded by a crown of delicate camoflage appendages.

WHAT IS A GICLEE?
Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) prints are extremely high-resolution digital scans of pictures which are then "printed" (actually sprayed) in tiny exactly mixed color droplets, guided to position by an oscillating laser beam. The carrier surface can be canas, steel, silk, or finr archival rag papers, to name a few. Though a little like a desk-top inkjet printer, giclee printers have some important differences. They scan at a much higher resolution and deal in larger and more complex volumes of information, allowing the flexibility of a skilled operator (preferably working with the artist) to adjust necessarily the subtle tones, contrasts, and shifting color balances that make the final print virtually indestinguishable from the original. Today, giclees are on display in the world's finest museums and art galleries, including the likes of the Metropolitan and the Museum of Modern Art in New York city. The fidelity of this new medium in the art world is so complete that recently at auction, a print of Annie Leibovitz fetched $10,800, a Chuck Close $9,600, and $22,800 for a Wolfgang Tillman.
