SIXTIES ROCKER #1

SIXTIES ROCKERS — Signed in the Plate Edition — $25 each.

Printed on the highest quality PHOTO paper available, this reproduces EXACTLY the size, weight & feel of the original. Side by side, in a frame with a plexiglass protector, even a print expert can’t tell the difference. THIS IS NOT A COLLECTIBLE ITEM, it is an art item, a mini-graphic poster, but made to ARCHIVAL specs and the highest artistic level of aesthetic.

SIXTIES ROCKERS — Pencil Signed & Numbered Edition of 50 — $125 each.

The original charcoal pastels were produced on fawn pastel suede paper, usually during a backstage break or a recording studio gig.

EJ Gold — New Graphics: SCRIMSHAW LANDSCAPES

Amsterdam Canals Windy Afternoon, 2.4.15, signed & dated in the plate.
SCRIM1 — “Amsterdam Canals Windy Afternoon”, 2.4.15, signed & dated in the plate.

All of my Scrimshaw Landscapes come to you printed on rare, laid-linen Dover 17th century style handmade watermarked paper, the same paper used by Rembrandt, van Ostade and others. The original artwork is scratched into the plate with a small sharp point. The lighter lines are called “drypoint” and the heavier darker areas are called “burr”. The originals are not for sale, but stunning, fine-art prints are available now.

This edition is limited by the amount of the rare Dover paper available. It is no longer made. I have the world’s supply. It was a paper favored by book restorers who wanted to match the 17th century paper of the volume under conservation. The print is 100% archival and should outlast this civilization if left to age on its own. I have many 400 year old prints made on this type of paper, and they show only normal signs of age, no foxing, no staining, nothing but normal age, which in this case, means “microscopic”, no visible damage.
