Giclees

What is a Giclee?

A giclee (zhee-CLAY), is an individually produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity, high tech reproduction. Giclees are produced from digital scans of existing artwork.

Giclees are printed on canvas and then stretched over a frame. Giclees are superior to traditional lithography in nearly every way. The colors are brighter, last longer, and are so high-resolution that they are virtually 'continuous tone', rather than tiny dots. The range, or "gamut" of color for giclees is far beyond that of lithography, and details are crisper.

(click to enlarge)
Greeting The Dawn - This piece was a bookcover. In the initial version of this painting, the castle was not sitting on a hill but loomed large behind the retreating characters. The editor wanted to show the uphill struggle the characters would face in the novel so, symbolically, putting their goal on the top of a hill would get this point across.

(click to enlarge)
Arcane Summons - "I had the publisher ask me how elaborate my modeling set up was on this project. They thought I had set up skeletons in costume then photographed them.

(Text taken from KnightsBridge: The Art of Keith Parkinson)

Wizard's First Rule - Terry Goodkind book cover. Terry's thoughts on this piece: "The cover Keith did for WIZARD'S FIRST RULE reflects this human theme through the central characters, Richard and Kahlan-the sense of the things that bridge their lives and the monumental forces keeping them apart. At the same time, in the expansive panorama, we begin to see, as do they, the wider world around them."
