Introducing the Wisconsin State Parks Poster Series

After finishing the 5th Design of the 5 poster series, I explored options for printing and settled upon a giclee, or digital inkjet printing method for the first edition of these posters. Although I really wanted the aesthetic and color choices of serigraphy, the giclee method offers flexibility in edition size, while also providing the opportunity to use color-fast inks on heavy weight archival matte paper.  I am very pleased with the results and consider the color to be quite saturated-very much mimicking the effect of a serigraph.  I found that in order to make a true serigraph in a cost effective way, I would need to reduce the number of total colors and do a larger quantity. I am not ruling out the silkscreen process if these evolve to larger runs, but for right now, I can still produce a limited edition of signed, quality prints at an economical price point for the print buyer.  If you are interested in purchasing a print, please contact me at belairphilip@gmail.com. I am in the process of creating a website to allow for the direct purchase of these via paypal, but this will be a temporary process for now.  Turn-around time for a signed 16" by 24" signed print is 2 weeks maximum.  The print will be shipped in a durable mailing tube upon receipt of payment.  The cost per print is $45. The series of 5 is at a reduced rate of $200.  All graphics portrayed on these posters are the original artwork of Philip J. Belair.
