Well, Honu editions finally got the first batch of Giclee's ready.

You'll notice that the edges of the image are mirrored. This is so when the canvas is stretched around a frame, the edges will not be blank, but will have a continuous image. The original had the sides painted black.

I could have had the giclee's printed with black edges, but I hear it's very difficult to stretch it so it exactly matches where the edge should be.
Since I am repainting parts of the stretched Giclees, I guess I could paint the sides black. But, the mirrored edge looks kinda cool!

Especially where it does THIS! Trippy! But, that bit would end up on the top side/edge, and no one will really see it much.

I also noticed that I will be going in a touching up the highlights. The canvas they print on is not pure white. So the "white" highlights are only as white as the canvas. Making them a very light cream color. I was thinking how hard would it be to go in a re-tint the mug a green color? Hmmmm? Hey, I'm not saying I'm doing that, I'm just wondering. (Oh, and there MIGHT be some news about that particular mug (I'm calling it the "Gill-Manakoora" mug) soon.

There are some giclee's in this very limited run still up for sale! So, you still have a chance to have one of these babies hangin in your Tiki Bar!

Aloha!
