Doug Bloodworth

Superchip (large signed giclee on canvas)

2010

Doug Bloodworth is world renowned for his photorealist oil paintings depicting Americana. One rarely finds his original oil paintings for sale, as they each take months to complete and there is a wait list of collectors looking for them. Therefore, we have produced a series of signed and numbered copies of his oil paintings. These are known as giclees, which is a fancy French word meaning squirting ink. These are canvas works printed in limited numbers, and Doug signs and numbers each one. This piece is a numbered limited edition giclee on canvas. They range in size from 18" x 24" all the way to 28" x 36". It arrives to you gallery-wrapped on 1.5 inch museum-quality stretcher bars, ready to hang in your home or office. Doug Bloodworth has made arrangements with the grandchildren of The Three Stooges to produce these works under a licensing agreement (C3 Entertainment). He has done the same with Lucy’s children Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. (Desilu and Unforgettable Licensing), as well as many many others. One cannot appreciate these giclees on a computer screen; in real life, they are absolutely amazing. Because you cannot appreciate it on a computer screen, our gallery has a unique policy. When purchasing from us, the buyer has sixty days to determine if they want to keep the artwork. If not, the buyer returns to piece to us for full refund, and we pay the shipping both ways! A collector should consider several factors when deciding from whom to purchase artwork online. Note: When you buy art online, check the location of the seller. When one buys from a foreign seller, one also has to consider the problems of getting the piece through Customs. There are often delays and considerable fees to pay in order to import the item. When purchasing from us, we ship the same day and you receive it via FedEx the next day, no problems or hassles. When one purchases from an auction house, one pays a buyer’s premium of anywhere from 23% to 28% over the “hammer price”. So when one “wins” an auction for $20,000, the actual price paid is more like $25,000. By contrast, when purchasing from us, the price agreed to is the price paid by the buyer, no hidden fees. Secondly, when one purchases from an auction house, the buyer pays the packing and shipping fee, which are usually exorbitant. By contrast, when purchasing from us, the price includes packing and shipping.
