Dye sublimation print on custom cut aluminum panel.

Upside was created when my daughter Helena was 5 or 6 years old and loved to paint rainbows. She would leave little rainbow paintings and notes around my studio. I loved them of course, and wanted to make something just as simple and beautiful. Like a rainbow, it’s there to remind you to keep looking for the Upside.

It might not be fashionable to say so, but I love doodling and sketching digitally, it is so fast, flexible and iterative. So easy to follow an idea to extremes, to change course on a dime, and of course experiment with full color! Of course It will never replace paper and pencil as an intuitive medium. But In its own way it is a powerful creative tool and super fun too. I hope that you enjoy some of these sketches.

Details.

• Size: 36”x 36” (Need a different size? No problem! Just let me know).

• Aluminum prints are made to order. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

• I make only one aluminum print from each digital artwork. Because my digital work has no “original” in the traditional sense, I think of the aluminum print as originals.

• 1/16" gauge aluminum panel mounted on a 3/4" aluminum frame. The print is also backed with 1/4" Sintra board (rigid PVC) for stability, which is inset 1 1/2" from the edge of the print.

• Dye Sublimation printing (also known as metal print) is a process of infusing dyes into a sheet of pre-treated aluminum via heat transfer. The process once complete, is permanent and archival up to 65+ years, as tested by Wilhelm imaging research.
