"Hi. I'm JK Dooley and we're talking today about giclee reproductions, and once you've had your piece stretched and you're ready to sell you might want to consider finishing the back off before you do that, and I've got a couple pieces compared here. Personally I just think that when you put something on the back like this it makes for a nicer piece when somebody purchases it. It's just a little more finished and a little more put together. As you can see, this is a piece that's not quite done yet and this piece has it's backing on it, and it also has a certificate of authenticity, and I always include these certificate of authenticity just because I want my customer to know that this piece is what it says it is. It'll have the title of the piece and my signature and pieces that don't have this certificate of authenticity aren't my pieces. So I've had people purchase pieces that weren't mine that didn't have the certificate and that I really actually didn't know anything about. So this kind of helps make sure that it is an actual piece of JK Dooley artwork. I have signed it, I've inspected it and it's a quality piece. So that's definitely something to think about when you're finishing off your images."
