Limited edition of 20 prints from Electric Works. Printed on Premier paper.  14x27 inches.  Deckled edges. All signed and numbered.

Hi everyone...so after a long period of research, research, and more research, i found THE spot for me to get prints made. I originally talked with Richard from Trillium Press (now Electric Works, San Francisco) in the spring of this year. We kept in touch, and now i'm so lucky to be getting a beautifully produced, limited edition print made by them.

Here's some history, and also the image of the piece I chose to make a print of. Only 20 will be available.

About Trillium Press / Electric Works
Trillium uses a Phase One PowerPhase FX digital back on a Linhof 4x5 camera with Rodenstock lenses. This equipment is capable of making image captures of 16 bits per pixel, and a file of nearly 400MB. Scans are transferred directly to a Macintosh G4 and then burned to CD for later use. The camera is mounted on a vertical column and may face down to shoot smaller work on the stand below it or swivel up to face the studio wall for shooting larger pieces.

HISTORY of Electric Works
Electric Works: the latest evolutionary stage of Trillium Press. Trillium Press had been serving artists with a printmaking studio and gallery since 1997. In 2006 we realized that we had outgrown our Brisbane location. In March 2007 we completed our move to San Francisco where we will serve artists and collectors with a centrally located gallery, store and printmaking studio in San Francisco's SOMA district.

And with our location change, we introduced our new name as well: Electric Works. Located in the historic Buzzell Building on 8th Street, our gallery features editions, multiples and unique work by emerging, mid-career and established artists. We mount eight to ten shows a year exhibiting local, national and international artists.

Electric Works' success is based on the powerful combination of collaboration and artistic vision. On the outset of every printmaking project, the artist has a vision of what they want to produce. That vision is then tempered by our printmakers and collaborators. More than print assistants, collaborators use their creative sight and technical expertise not only to realize artists' wants, but also to open new avenues which help further realize the work.

In order to bring artists' visions to the world, we employ several types of printing: traditional such as lithography, intalgio, silkscreen and monotype, and digital with archival pigment printing. It is the dialogue between the old and the new which keeps printmaking alive, interesting, and viable. And it is the attitude of being on the vanguard, of running experimental prints, which has earned Trillium Press, and now Electric Works, the reputation for innovation coupled with the technical skills to create the editions for which we are renowned.

Here's a flick of the piece i chose:
"The Prophesy of the Gold Scarab"
