Edition: the whole published number of identical prints.
Q: Is an artwork reproduced in two sizes the same edition?
A: No, since they are not identical in size, they are considered two separate printings and
two separate editions.
Q: If a print is limited to 50, are the proofs part of the limited edition?
A: Yes, since proofs are an important part in making the edition and the prints are
identical in every way, they are part of the edition or may be referred to as a subset edition but not a separate edition.

Limited Edition: a promise not to make more than a specific amount of prints for an edition.

Open Edition: May come signed or unsigned. An open edition is not numbered and can be reprinted without limit.
Q: A few artworks are available in both limited and signed editions, is this common for an artist to do and what are the differences between them?
A: Occasionally an artist will produce both a limited and open edition of the same artwork. It is commonly done with select artworks by artists, but not with all works done by the artist. Open editions are of a smaller size and produced with less expensive materials.

Strictly Limited: When we list a print as "strickly limited" it means that no other editions can be made of that work
Q: Which of Erik's prints are stickly limited ?
A: There is an info section on each edition page that lists detailed information about each print; this info tells which prints are strickly limited. To date the prints that have been strickly limited are: "Lustrous", "Bianca", "Molly", "Lilith", "Sunshine", "Classics", "Outlaw" and "The Good, the Bad, but not Ugly"
Q: Can you still make an edition in a different size ?
A: No, if we have said it is strickly limited, we will not release that edition in any other sizes
Q: Since you have started making open editions, does this mean there will be no more limited editions ?
A: No, we will continue to release Limited and Strickly Limited Editions.

Artist's Proof: a special subset edition used by the printer, publisher and artist to achieve the best possible prints in the regular limited edition. Usually they will sell for 10-30% more than the regular edition. Artist's Proofs typically number 10% or less of the total edition. They are generally considered a status symbol in the art collecting world bringing their resale value proportionally higher than the regular edition.

Temporarily Unavailable and Unavailable
Q: Why are some Artist's Proofs listed as temporarily unavailable?
A: Because of the high expense in producing giclee prints, an edition is created in several batches as demand requires, therefore some artist's proofs are listed as temporarily unavailable as the next proof will not be made available until another batch of the edition is made. So if the edition size is 100, produced in 10 print batches, 10 prints need to be sold before the next proof becomes available. Prints may be listed as unavailable if they are being held for wholesale, sold out or for other various reasons.

Publisher: The person or company responsible for creating an edition.
Q: Are all prints of Erik's art published by the same company?
A: No, most of our prints are published in-house. Some of Erik's art has been published
by Robert Bane Editions; currently the editions published by Bane Editions are of "Sunshine" "Platinum Blonde" and "Fishnets".

Q: I have a gallery and would like to sell your prints, do you make wholesale deals?
A: Yes, please feel free to inquire about wholesale print deals.

Additional Notes: If you are wanting a specific numbered print such as 69/100 feel free to ask for availability, we do not sell prints in order and if nobody else has asked for the print you are looking for, we will be happy to sell that print to you. Some people just like to have that lucky number:-) The first print in each edition is always saught after more so this number will unlikly be available after the opening day release.
