White Elephant
Looking for the perfect White Elephant gift? Why not an actual white elephant?* (Or at least a drawing of one. Listing does not include a live elephant) This listing is for a high quality reproduction of my original flourished elephant design. The original artwork is hand drawn with a dip pen in white ink on black paper - this is not a digitally created design.
*Also a great piece for minimalist decor. This artwork can be enjoyed year round.
I strive to accurately photograph all my work but due to monitor settings colors may appear slightly different in person.
Unless otherwise specified I print all my art with a 1/2" white border to help handling and framing.

When it comes to the world of art reproduction not all prints are created equal. You truly do get what you pay for. Here is what you get when you order a print from my shop.
The Company
I do all my printing through a professional print company that specializes in giclee fine art reproductions; in fact it is all they do.
What is a Giclee Print?
Giclee is a special blend of science and art that is perfectly suited for delicate printing jobs where color accuracy and attention to detail are crucial. Prints are usually produced one at a time, as the process is painstakingly slow. Compare this to other printing styles such as lithography, which are mass-produced on high-speed presses.
The inks
The inks are archival grade and fade resistant. The advanced color management technology used in the print process allows for a large color range so that every print has vibrant true-to-life colors. (Sometimes they even look nicer than the originals!) With the proper care your print will stay bright and beautiful for generations.
The Paper
Giclee printers are able to handle thicker papers than traditional printers. This ability opens up a wide variety of lovely papers to choose from such as heavy weight watercolor paper, or even canvas. The paper I have chosen for most of my works is a nice balance of quality and affordability. It is an acid free, archival quality, heavy weight (230 g, 9.5-mil) paper with a smooth matte surface.
***Most of my art is completely customizable. Convo me if you are interested in having a print made on a different type of paper***
