My Etsy Journey Part 3: Discovering Giclee

So it's been a great start to the weekend. I designed a fresh print for David Bowie, and I got an order the very next day from New York.

Happy Days :-)

The Giclee Prints look lovely, and that's anther discovery for me. I love Giclee. The light texture paper made of organic cotton rag. The archival inks that stay bright for years, unlike a digital prints which eventually fades over time.

And, for me it was the first time I actually got to 'sign' something. Actually I was instructed to :-)
It was a bit daunting. I was nervous, even googled on 'how to sign an art print'. Seriously didn't want to ruin a print with lousy handwriting. Practised it a hundred times with different pencils on all kinds of paper.

My Etsy experience has been pretty great so far. I will be sharing many more posts on my journey. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, here are some fresh Giclee prints.

My Etsy Journey Part 1: Launching Eye For London Prints

Unusual graphic Art Print and Posters of London

After two whole years in London (to the day), I still find myself falling in love with the city a little more everyday. Kicking off year three, I have launched my own Print Shop on Etsy. This personal project features graphic illustrations through stories in architecture design and pop culture, exploring the often overlooked yet interesting facets that lend character to the city of London. From Bowie and Brutalism, to the books people are reading on the tube. This is London through my eyes.
