Nunatak

A nunatak is an isolated peak of rock projecting above a surface of inland ice or snow. I did not even know that they existed prior to a flight over the Kenai Peninsula to explore its rocky and ice-filled interior. The winds had blown a pattern of snow around the Nunatak, adding intrigue to this formation. That the ice field was so thick it was covering potentially the peak of a mountain, reducing it to a glimpse of rock in a vast field of snow was amazing to contemplate.

Artist Print

Nunatak 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

Nunatak 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.

The Lumachrome print is a three-part process, with a color transfer applied to a paper material, then covered with a 1/8-inch thick acrylic face.
