Its Raining Cats and Dogs by Ikki Matsumoto, Lithograph, Limited edition of 1000

Ikki Matsumoto is a world renowned artist that lives in SW Florida. He has been capturing the beautiful Florida birds since 1975. His most famus work can be found in the 1975 Edition of "The Joy of Cooking". He also has an Egg in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC. He was invited to paint the egg by Nancy Reagan while her husband serviced as President. The word gicl©e was created by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working at Nash Editions. He wanted a name for the new type of prints they were producing on the IRIS printer, a large-format, high-resolution industrial prepress proofing inkjet printer they had adapted for fine-art printing. He was specifically looking for a word that would not have the negative connotations of "inkjet" or "computer generated". It is based on the French word gicleur, which means "nozzle" (the verb form gicler means "to squirt, spurt, or spray"). Beside its original association with IRIS prints, the word gicl©e has come to be associated with other types of inkjet printing including processes that use fade-resistant, archival inks (pigment-based, as well as newer solvent-based inks), and archival substrates primarily produced on Canon, Epson, HP and other large-format printers.[4][5] These printers use the CMYK color process but may have multiple cartridges for variations of each color based on the CcMmYK color model (such as light magenta and light cyan inks in addition to regular magenta and cyan); this increases the apparent resolution and color gamut and allows smoother gradient transitions.[6] A wide variety of substrates is available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolor paper, cotton canvas, or artist textured vinyl.
