It’s studio clean out day again here and I’m tired of my test prints piling up in a corner, collecting dust. I find myself tossing them in the trash just to make way for new work. Well no longer. If you’d like to own your very own Gumoil Test Print of one of my larger pieces, check out the ones I posted below, then hurry and contact me before they get recycled.

A few things about Gumoil test prints.

  • What are Gumoil test prints, you might ask? Allow me to explain. Test prints are the initial prints produced during the photographic process, where I review, assess, and refine my work before creating the final masterpiece. These prints offer a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of artistic creation With each new large print I make, I have to do some test prints to check the exposure and what-not. In addition, whenever I change something, a different paper for example or change my chemistry ratio or even try a different paint, I have to do some test prints to see how it turns out and make sure my process is still on track. Basically, each new image I create will have test prints from it. Once I’ve done a large 16x20 the test print stage is done. I’ll post them here if they’re interesting enough.

  • Gumoil test prints can be messy, but… they have character. (Also… tape for masking the edges is frigging expensive!) I’m usually more concerned about capturing a usable exposure than keeping the edges clean. In doing so, these test prints exude a raw and authentic feel which I hope will captivate you, like it does me.

  • Yes. they are real Gumoil prints, produced on premium archival paper, they are not reproductions, each print holds its own distinct charm.

  • As a bonus, these prints come with the some personal notes on the back. Imagine having my expertise right at your fingertips! Gain invaluable insight with detailed information about the Sun’s UV power vs LED power, If your a photographer you can optimize your printing process and achieve fantastic results every time…well… I hope anyway!

  • Let's not forget, you'll also be helping me clean up my studio, and make room for new work!

  • Don't let my test prints go to waste any longer. If you’d like one shoot me your address and 25 bucks (plus SH.) and I’ll slip it into a protective sleeve and folder for you. If your near Wiesbaden, Germany come by the studio and get em while i’m still here and save on shipping.
