"Hi, I'm JK Dooley. I'm a professional artist and we’re going to talk a little bit, just some good reasons to produce a giclee. And it doesn't really matter whether you choose paper or you choose canvas. An excellent reason first is if you are an artist and you want people to find you out there and to see your product, this is a great marketing tool. It allows you to get your product out there, more people can see it. And especially with the internet now you can be seen in a lot of different places. So, marketing is good. It's a very versatile product. You can use it for a number of different things. It's a great gift. Obviously you can sell it. There's a number of reasons why a giclee is a great thing for you to do, and the marketability is probably the biggest.
