Inuksuk
To the casual eye, they just might be a pile of rocks, among many scattered across the Arctic landscape. But in this part of the Alaskan Arctic, they are called Inuksuk. Dating as far back as 5,000 years in some areas, they are stones piled by the Nunamiut people to mimic the figure of humans in order to drive caribou to a particular location to make hunting easier. We encountered several lines of Inuksuk in the area we hiked in Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve. That along with the countless shed caribou antlers told me that people and caribou have been coming to this place for a very long time. Photo © copyright by Carl Johnson.
Artist Print
Carl uses thick, high quality fine art paper for all of his Artist Prints. These prints are made personally by the artist up to the 16x24 size, then by a professional lab for larger sizes. Printed on sheet paper, or roll paper for panoramic prints, these prints are printed to full size with the excess paper trimmed down to a small border around the image. This provides for a sufficient edge for your framing shop when it comes time to frame your print. Larger prints are shipped rolled to minimize damage and reduce shipping costs.

Metal Print
Metal prints represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily – just avoid direct sunlight. The prints are mounted on a floating mount for ease of hanging. These prints are shipped directly from a professional lab for lower shipping costs.
