Good Grief
10"x 20" acrylics on canvas. 2012.
Gicleé Edition SOLD OUT.
I painted Good Grief for a 2013 exhibition I participated in with fellow artist Mike Capp at LTD Gallery in Seattle. The show was titled Icons and Influences and paid homage to the books, films, and other media that inspired and shaped our art and creative processes. This is a tribute to Charlie Brown, (Peanuts), of course. Charlie Brown, Woodstock Linus and Snoopy are among my favorite characters of all time. A few years back, I was invited to the Schulz museum in Santa Rosa, CA to be their October Resident Artist - It was a great experience. When I returned I began watching The Walking Dead on TV and it just struck me as the kind of thing that would happen to Charlie Brown.

11" x 17" Open Edition Prints
Open edition prints are UNFRAMED and unsigned laser reproductions printed on 11″x17″ acid-free heavyweight paper. Each print is packaged in cellophane and shipped rolled in a tube. The image includes a white border with the title, making it easy and affordable to frame without the need for a mat. Fits standard 11″x17″ frames, widely available at most frame or craft stores, as well as online. See example image below.
Giclée Prints
Giclée prints are high-quality reproductions known for their accurate colors and longevity, closely resembling the original artwork. Each print is signed and numbered by Justin Hillgrove, with editions ranging from 10 to 250 across watercolor and canvas giclées of various sizes. Prints should be kept away from high UV light. Justin may enhance, embellish, or remarque prints and, in rare cases, create additional reproductions outside an edition.
Watercolor Giclée Prints (Prep time: 1-3 days)
Watercolor giclé prints are created on lightly-textured, heavy cotton paper using fully archival inks. A small white border is included in order to facilitate matting (currently 1″ on all sides). It is recommended that you take your print straight to a framer, and keep it protected until then to avoid damage. Water, your hands, hard objects & adhesives can damage the surface of your print. See sample images below.
Stretched Canvas Giclée (Prep time: Up to 2 weeks)
Stretched canvas giclée prints are produced on artist-quality, archival canvas with fully archival inks, (print-permanence rated at 100 – 200 years on canvas). All canvas prints have a coat of UV inhibiting varnish. Your canvas comes stretched and back-stapled to a 3/4″ wooden frame, with black sides, ready to hang on a wall. Note: Due to some health issues, starting November 2024, most canvas printing and stretching will be outsourced, so you may see minor differences in color, sheen, stretcher bars, etc. from those you may have received previously. Justin has done a lot of research, testing, ordering, etc. to find a partner that produces canvases whose quality is as close as possible to his own. Canvases will still be signed/numbered by Justin. See example images below.
