So This is What it Feels Like to be Dead - unframed 8.5" x 11" giclee print
From a distance, this just looks like a butterfly image, but when you come closer, whoa…looks like this Delaware Skipper had one too many edibles or something. I remember seeing this flash card and thinking, wow, this poor thing, all the other moths and butterflies are pictured with foliage, and this guy is just smack-dab in the middle of nowhere. And hence, here we are, Delaware Skipper thinking about floating in the void…
”So This is What it Feels Like to be Dead” is an unframed, unmatted, open-edition giclée* print of one of a series of altered vintage flash cards - I alter them with text and then mount them on decorative papers and trims. The paper size is 8.5" x 11" but the actual image is smaller, floating in the middle of the page with a border around it for framing.
PLEASE NOTE: you will receive an UNFRAMED print. Listing images that show framed art are to help you envision what the art might look like in a frame; you will NOT be receiving a framed work of art.
It's printed with archival inks on rich heavyweight archival paper - paper may be smooth or have a slight texture to it, which enhances the fine art feel - if you have a strong preference, let me know. These paper/ink combinations are rated by Wilhelm Imaging Research to last 200 years in dark storage or 75 years under glass - so it's gonna last! The watermark will *not* appear on the print you receive!
The print comes to you unmatted, in a cello sleeve with flawboard backing. To ensure it reaches you safely, I'll ship it in a rigid fiberboard mailer.

*giclee is a fancy term for an archival inkjet print! More detail from Wikipedia: Giclée, commonly pronounced "zhee-clay," is a generic term for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The term, from the French verb gicler meaning "to squirt, to spray", originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print.
