DAN MCCARTHY Ghost Pines four colour SIGNED screen print GLOW IN THE DARK

  

Size: 32 inches x 20 inches. Signed and numbered by the artist. Glow in the dark screenprint from Dan McCarthy which combines two of his signature images - dinosaurs and forest.

The colours in this print are absolutely fantastic. A magical print and unusually large for McCarthy. One of his best works. Dan McCarthy is an American-based artist who designs and makes each of his screenprints himself - first drawing the image on paper, then preparing them for screenprinting, then adding one colour at a time. He has been making prints since 2005, which led to a 10-year retrospective at the Bakalar and Paine Galleries in Boston.

His prints are very detailed and stunning up close. They are made in limited numbers - usually under 500 - and quickly sell out and rise in value. The work is titled, signed and numbered by hand by McCarthy. His work usually has a border around the main image which makes them easy to frame. They are always printed on high quality paper. The only exception to this is when some prints require to be sent in tubes (most prints) and some require to be sent flat (usually the James Cauty prints). Prints sent in tubes are wrapped in paper to protect their edges in a tube. Then the tube will have bubble-wrap at each end. The ends of the tubes are secured in place with tape.

I use much thicker tubes than you normally see in shops. Some of the smaller prints that have always been stored flat, I send flat. This is mostly the James Cauty prints and some of the smaller McCarthy prints. These are sent sandwiched in-between three board-backed envelopes that are then taped together to create an extra-strong package. Please let me know if you have any questions.
