For years people have asked me for prints of my original paintings but I have never been a fan of mechanical reproductions so I steered clear of it all. Then I met Rosenquist who turned me on to Arches Paper and I thought why not hand paint each one?… I love doing the work and everyone deserves an original painting.

Hand Painted Editions on Arches Paper
The works on paper act in many ways like a traditional limited edition print – i.e. the same image is reproduced a limited number of times and hand-signed by the artist. While I wanted to offer smaller images of my one-off works on canvas in the form of prints, I couldn’t help but feel that an image produced using machine technology would perhaps lack the individual and personal character found within the original painting.

Solving the Dilemma….
To solve this dilemma I decided to not only hand-paint each work on paper but to also use the same paints as those used in the original, as a means of capturing the same vibrancy in color.Each limited edition print is therefore as close to the original painting as is possible and because each of these works are hand-painted, not one work is the same. With this in mind, owning a limited edition work on paper is very similar in spirit to owning an original, one-off work on canvas.
I am offering limited edition works on paper of a number of images, including: Buddha, Eiffel Tower, Astronaut, Baseball, Football,Stripey Horse, Lion, Dragon, Ticker Taper, Gorilla , Rose and The Statue of Liberty in three colors from the ‘Art History’ painting.
Purchasing
Each work on paper is hand-painted on heavy Arches paper (22″ x 30″).The Buddha and all other works on paper are priced at $475 unframed, or $600 for double-matted framing under glass with a black Larson Juhls frame. An example of this frame can be seen at my studio in Tribeca.
