I updated with reduced sizes.mcnail wrote:PS I hate formatting images for retina screens now. In my email and stuff, they all look good because I have them sized down from where they were made, but when they are posted full size like above, they look like garbage. Hopefully everyone knows these look pretty insane in person and not all jaggy.
Cheers!
So it goes...

Regarding pics, I'll see what I can figure out.
Shooting foil is new to me. I thought it would be like shooting a steel print, but it's not. You're basically taking a photograph of a mirror. As a result, it's tricky trying to get a photo showing off the reflective nature of the paper, but also keep the main artwork intact (no one wants to see my dumb face in the waves). I've been messing with a few methods to ensure I can get an image showing off the paper without interrupting the art in the future.
Until then, prior to the sale, here's a quick video I shot this morning of the Fingerwaves (foil variant) so you can get an idea of how the art works on foil.

It definitely seems to be SHRN. It doesn't work for every piece.alittle wrote:Can we collectively go back to not using foil on everything? Why not choose a paper that would actually compliment the art in question?
From the video it looks pretty cool. If I was picking it up I might go this route.
It's a very hit or miss thing. Mostly unnecessary.
