What are
Original Limited Edition Prints?

These limited edition fine art prints are genuine artworks, hand rendered digitally and studio printed by the artist. The editions are limited to 10 paper prints or 6 metal prints per image as shown in the print gallery section. Each individual rendering is indeed an original print as it has received the artist's personal attention. When the edition is sold out, no more prints of that image will be available. This increases exclusivity and value. Boldly embracing the digital age, the famous English artist, David Hockney, printed digital images created on his iphone and ipad achieving a record sale price of £69,000. See more about how Skog unique prints are made in my studio on the about the prints page.

The archival print examples on this page were created using dozens of layers of digital visual information which were extensively shuffled and collaged for a result similar to the sensitivity of my acrylic canvases. Instead of a physical brush, digital brushes were used for similar hand painting. It is essential to understand that regardless of the process, all original art is made with the brain. It has taken years to learn to create such nuanced, textured, and colorful prints in this unique medium. I sincerely hope you can appreciate them.

Intrinsic Value of Original Art

Art that is created directly by the artist who carefully researches archival materials and methods, and conducts the entire process by hand-producing the artwork has important intrinsic value that is exquisitely reflected in the quality of each piece itself. Intrinsic value is easily discerned in comparing original prints to commercial, mass produced 'posters' generally made with inferior materials that are always only reproductions devoid of the artist's touch. Mass produced reproductions lack a depth of feeling and are worthless to collectors. The artist's direct involvement from creating the image to printing it cannot be underestimated and adds greatly to the value of the work. Each print on this website is printed with superior materials, archival dye or pigmented inks and printed on a variety of substrates such as archival fine art hand-pressed papers or on aluminum or steel plates. These are the real deal! Archival art is as permanent as it gets. The prints will not fade or color-shift and will last for generations, around 200 years if optimally cared for. Unlike desk-top inkjet prints, they are safe and stable to museum standards. Perfect accents for home, office or public settings. Great value in original artwork!
