Philosophy
Booksmart Studio Inc., Fine Edition Print Studio
Booksmart
Studio goal is to create fine edition work, whether it be in print or
book form. The second goal is to offer training services for the
artists, which will allow one to explore the artistic possibilities of
digital printmaking and book creation. We try to provide tools to allow
an artist to create their important work. We truly believe in the
collaboration between the artist & printmaker, due to the fact that
in the end, it is the artist's work. We take a very creative approach
to working with our artists, in fact we are more of an assistant,
rather than a final decision maker. We want to guide the artist with
information that is critical to the creative process. Our relationships are very dynamic and are constantly allowing for new ideas to emerge throughout the entire process.
Booksmart
Studio's philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that this
collaboration between the artist and the printmaker results in the
finest work. We will not sacrifice this collaboration for the quick buck, as we
define ourselves as fine edition printmakers. This model comes from the
traditional printmaking background that Booksmart Studio's owner holds
with his MFA in Printmaking & Book Arts. The digital fine edition
influence comes from his MS in Electronic Publishing, the combination
has created a unique perspective on printmaking (digital or
traditional) and the art of books. Often, our artists will start
printing their edition and quickly realize the potential of the
artistic process in creating a fine edition book which will compliment
their print work.

Philosophy
As a
smaller digital printmaking studio you will speak directly to the
printmaker who is working with your artwork throughout the entire
process.
All
of our digital specialists/printmakers are all practicing artists who
understand the anxiety in turning over your passion and work to another
person for completion. We know what it means to be an artist and how
inspirational artwork is to the artist. Having an artisan available to
fully respect the artist's vision and produce a final piece of work
that captures the artist's idea or concept is unique. The entire
process of creating digital prints is a collaboration between the
artist and the printmaker, the work of the printmaker ensures that the
artist's vision is fully expressed in the final prints. That's why
we invite our clients to participate in every step of the process if
they so wish.
We
are proud that prints made at Booksmart Studio have been exhibited in
galleries and museums all over the world. When the artist's work is
completed and ready for display, the review and sale of the work means
a great deal to us. When the artist is successful, we are successful.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have with any of our services.
