The difference between a Giclee and Lithograph.

Giclee is usually a reproduction of an original through a very expensive ink jet printing process.

Lithorgraph is usually a reproduction of the original through a plate process.

Usually now there will be a limited amount made in either case just like the baseball cards for example 1 - 100 / 1 - 20 / 1- 500.
When these limited numbers are made they are usually a slight variation the artist himself will do, which he might make limited numbers of - Example - they usually touch up each Giclee/Lithograph by painting them by hand - they may add an extra color in and numbr them.

That's really neat. Who was the artist? I would be interested in contacting him/her.

Thanks for all your help. It's great to know what's out there, so I can make the best decision about which artist to use. I am still blown away by Longordo's work, and am waiting for a price quote.

I rep for Stephen Holland. He is an amazing artist and a more amazing person. We talk often, and share our love of sports.

At one point, Muhammad Ali's wife chose Stephen Holland as the artist she wanted to paint a series of paintings.

Plus in the last 3 years Stephen has been chosen by the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Avalanche and a few other teams to be paint for their teams.

Stephen has done with Upper Deck in the past 10 years Kobe, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods. Recently Stephen did an Albert Pujols.

What do you mean, you "rep" for Stephen Holland? Are you a liaison of sorts? Do you work in the art business? I would be curious to know.

It's been a very long time since I've tried to paint anything, but I busted this out over the weekend. After seeing this thread, I figured I'd give it a shot.

I just got my first piece of sports art, its a hand painted Jeter signed baseball done by Charles Fazzino. This is a one of kind original baseball. With the help of a great forum, I was able to get this done.(He can chime in if he wants to.) A great big thanks to him!!! Steiner offered baseballs similar to this a few years back, but those where done in a limited addition and all had the same design. this baseball has its own unique design. The LOA also stats one of a kind, in the description. The are painted with cheers for Jeter and also have his achievements painted threw out, such as 2000 WS MVP, 96 ROY, 11xAS, and 5xWS champ. I'm very happy to have this!!!!!
