hey Irky! could you tell me about the Glicee on canvas vs Glicee on paper? does the canvas one look more painted than the paper versions?

The canvas has a decent textures to it. The Glicee process is very durable and with the glossy finish it just feels more fun. The paper version is a nice poster-ish effect. Its got a similar feel to the prints you get off the line at Disneyland, but a little richer.

is it easier (less expensive)to frame the wood stretched canvases compared to dry mounting the paper prints? or, can you hang the canvas ones, w/o framing?

One of the advantages of the stretched canvas Glicee is that you can paint the edges with some black acrylic paint and hang as is for a really cool look. I like it this way myself because it definitely goes well in a modern setting. The general idea is that they look like they are generally lit and back lit. The paper prints really to make affordable versions that people who dige them, can afford to give as gifts to their Polynesiana Enthusiast loved one(s). It not neccessary to buy the whole set. You can get the cool images all together in one, or they can line your hallway in full size. The glossy canvas are the way I wanted to do things. If you go to the link below, you can see more details and the originals too.

thanks in advance...

the curious elicia.

ps: very nice work!

Thank you very much Elicia.
People seem to dig this set.
I do some Freaky Tiki stuff, but I really got my Jolly's doing these ahead of Tiki Oasis 5.
I didn't have an takers for them, but I realized afterward that its more of a numbered print and mug crowd. They got more of a kick out of the talking tiki head I built.

These will be a generally limited run.
But I am going to make it a time sensitive thing as opposed to a numbers thing.

The hard part about this is that they are really special in person.
The website only gives you half the story.
You want to reach out and grab them and hold them.
I made sure to choose very attractive forms.

Here's my website detail for the images.
