This is a project I have had in the works for a while.I took an original label that was
never glued on a bottle and scanned it on one of my clients flat bed scanners.
This is a super high resolution top of the line flat bed scanner, the biggest consumer
size you can buy @ $8,000 .Because they used off set printing back in the 40's & 50's
when you blow up the image it pixelates and becomes very grainy even with the best of
scanners available.After digitally cleaning up the image, we blow it up to 18"x 24" .
Using high quality resolutions inks and quality linen canvas, this is the end result.
The canvas is stretched on a wood frame .After the ink has dried and cured several
days later the giclee is treated and clear coated with a special solution- preventing
it from cracking, peeling or chipping for the life of the canvas.The end result has
the look and feel of a painting .This one has not been framed yet ,however think of
how great it will look framed.The colors are vivid and looks absolutely stunning.

DISCLAIMER:
DUE TO THE NUMEROUS EMAILS I HAVE RECEIVED FROM TRADER VIC'S LEGAL DEPT ,I WILL
NOT OFFER THIS TRADER VIC IMAGE FOR SALE.I WILL HAVE IN THE FUTURE POST NEW PICS
OF SOME OF OTHER TIKI GICLEES THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE THAT ARE NOT IN ANY
WAY RELATED TO TRADER VIC'S LOGO .

Aloha- Trader Bill
