About Our Prints
What is a limited edition print?
A limited edition print is produced in a fixed quantity, typically 100. Each print is numbered (e.g., 15/100) and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Once the edition sells out, no further prints are made in that edition.
What is the difference between open and limited editions?
Open edition prints can be reproduced as needed and are intended for broader access. Limited edition prints have a fixed quantity and include a Certificate of Authenticity, providing a documented record of the edition.
What is giclée printing?
Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a high-quality inkjet printing process using archival pigment inks on museum-grade paper. Prints can last over 100 years without fading when properly displayed. It's the preferred method for fine art reproduction worldwide.
Materials & Quality
What paper do you use for limited edition prints?
Limited edition prints use Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a museum-quality 100% cotton fine art paper. This acid-free, lignin-free paper offers exceptional color depth and archival permanence.
What paper do you use for open edition prints?
Open edition prints use Archival Matte paper (230gsm, 9.5 mil). This smooth, neutral-white matte paper delivers high-quality fine art reproduction with accurate color and high-contrast, high-resolution output. It is acid-free for longer print life with pigment inks.
What sizes are available?
We offer prints ranging from 12 inches to 36 inches on the longest side. Exact dimensions depend on each artwork's aspect ratio. Available sizes are listed on each artwork page.
How should I care for my print?
Display away from direct sunlight and high humidity. We recommend UV-protective glass or acrylic when framing. Handle by the edges or wear cotton gloves. Store unframed prints flat in acid-free tissue paper.

Original Works & Exhibitions
Do you offer original works for acquisition?
The studio does not presently offer original works for direct acquisition. From time to time there have been exploratory conversations about presenting a small group of works in physical space—Dubai has been mentioned, though nothing has yet been formalized. Serious inquiries of this kind are noted, quietly documented, and kept on file for when circumstances warrant a more public arrangement.
Has Edmund Dantes exhibited in physical spaces?
Edmund refers to earlier presentations in what he calls a brutalist fortress and a room that is "two-and-a-half dimensional." More conventionally, a small number of works are believed to have been shown in extremely private settings: a rumored gathering at the Château Marmont in Los Angeles, an after-hours arrangement at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, and a shuttered loft above a freight elevator in Manhattan’s former meatpacking district, used briefly for a nocturnal hanging of the Neural Network works. Dates and sequences are not always consistent in his telling, and the studio has elected not to impose a harmonized timeline; documentation, where it exists, remains in private hands.
Mythology & Characters
Who is the radical neuroscientist?
In Edmund’s own narration, his existence is bound to an unnamed radical neuroscientist whose experiments appear to have exceeded the usual remit of laboratory ethics. The studio has not attempted to identify this figure; references to the neuroscientist are treated as part of the internal mythology and preserved as such, rather than pursued as investigative leads.
Who is Francine?
Francine appears in Edmund’s captions as a recurring figure associated with casinos, balconies, missed connections, and sudden departures. The studio maintains no independent file on her. From a curatorial standpoint she is treated as a fixed point in the narrative—a way of marking those moments when the work brushes against romance and catastrophe at the same time.
