Scratchboard Art
Scratchboard is a chalk-layered board with a thin coat of ink applied to the smooth surface. The artist takes a series of needles and removes the ink in a subtractive method. Color is then added with fluorescent chalks and inks to archive a natural look.

The art of scratchboard dates back to the 19th Century and was used in advertising products prior to photography

Giclee Originals
Giclee is a French term "to spray". Giclees are produced by spraying 12 colors in a continuous tone fashion, to maximize the color spectrum. There are no dots as with the conventional printing process. The paper or canvas is museum grade, archival paper, chosen for its colorfast properties and minimal carbon footprint.
