Shane’s Shane’s Monarch Book, 2nd Edition
My son loves small books and he wanted a picture book of the monarchs. So I made one ACEO sized. This 14 page book is printed on heavy glossy paper and has photos showing the metamorphosis cycle. I let Shane help pick the photos, so some are different from the poster. Unlike the 1st edition, the 2nd edition has descriptive text with the photos. 2.5"x3.5". Printed on 48lb. HP glossy brochure paper. I assemble these by hand.

Giclees (Archival) vs. Posters

Giclees: Giclee (zhee-clay) is a French word meaning a spray or a spurt of liquid and usually infers that the print or photo is archival. My giclees are printed on a museum quality semi-gloss photo paper (which has less problems with finger prints) using HP ink. Older giclees may be printed on high gloss photo paper. According to the manufacturer, the prints have a life span of at least 105 years. Except for the Metamorphosis Chart, giclees are printed on oversized paper for easier handling and matting: 5"x7" image is printed on 5.5"x8.5" paper, and 8"x10" image is printed on 8.5"x11" paper. Giclees have a copyright notice (eg: ©2009 Valerie Evanson • www.evansonart.com • open edition giclee) that is NOT visible when matted. See below examples below.

Posters: Posters are printed on semi-gloss photo paper. Older posters may be printed on high gloss photo paper. All posters have a copyright notice (eg: ©2009 Valerie Evanson • www.evansonart.com) in small print, usually in the lower left hand corner of the image. The white border will not show if you mat the posters. See below examples below.

Matting: is recommended, but not offered. Giclees and posters are printed so the image fits a standard mat without losing important parts of the image. 5"x7" fits an 8"x10" mat, 8"x10" fits an 11"x14" mat. 13"x19" posters fit an 18"x24" mat, just make sure you get the right window size (hole for the art) for your poster. Some matted giclees/posters maybe available on the Discontinued and Clearance Art page.

Handling: Giclees and posters should be handled with care from the edges and should be kept away from heat, humidity and direct sunlight. For more info on artwork care, see the Artwork Care & ACEO Display page.

Sizing and Copyright Notice: Different sizes will show more or less of the image as shown below. You can also see where the copyright notice is located. Note: this does not apply to the Metamorphosis Chart.
