Aloha TC,

It's Baaaaack!

That is, the original ("Moon of Manakoora") is back from Honu editions. I was there today, and saw the proofs for the Giclee run. They look great! I saw one on canvas, and one on paper. They do really amazing work. The colors are exactly like the original. Even all those blues tones. However, I was correct about the pearlesent paint. It came out a dull, dark grey. It seems to get a great scan, they tone "reflectivity" way down. But pearlesent is all about reflecting light. So it comes out null. So, that's where I'm going to have to go in and repaint the Giclees to get that glittering reflectivity back on the moon. The first reproductions will be done in about 10 days and then they have to get stretched, and then I'm going to do my thing. Sooooo, we're looking at 2 to 3 weeks before any are sent out. I really appreciate everyone's patience, it's going sorta slow, but I want to get these done right.

Big Aloha!
