Offset Lithography
Offset lithography is a printing process where the image is first transferred onto an intermediate surface before being printed onto the final sheet.
Offset lithography is a widely used printing method where the inked image moves from a plate to a rubber blanket and finally onto the printing surface. In combination with the lithographic process, which relies on the repulsion of oil and water, offset printing uses a flat image carrier. By doing this, the image is reversed twice and ends up appearing the same way as it did in the original design on the stone or plate.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is part of a unique series of pieces. Limited editions are fixed in quantity, meaning we will only ever produce a certain number.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
No—the copyright is not transferred to the purchaser of the edition.
