Reproductions for Brooke Howell

Brooke Howell is a very talented freelance sculptor, illustrator, and caricaturist who is based in Denver, Colorado.  I have been working with her to reproduce her two dimensional art for almost two years.  I always enjoy seeing her new pieces.  She has been working on a series of famous individuals drawn on wood for a few years.

In order to make a reproduction I start by doing a hi-resolution scan with my Epson scanner.  After that is created I balance the color, contrast, and brightness in Photoshop to match the original artwork.

I can then make prints at the original size or larger.  We both agree that the Optica One paper suits these pieces done on wood very well.  Optica One is a smooth surface 300gsm matte fine art paper rated at 100+ years of archival certification.
