Because of overwhelming demand and a commitment
to providing affordable art, selected
Dieppa artworks have been made into beautiful
museum quality giclee prints. A "giclee" print is a way to
reproduce original art using the very latest print
technology to produce a superior print with greater
detail and virtually seemless colors. Printed on the
same paper (100% cotton rag) as the original, which
renders a print that is hard to tell from the original.
*For more information about other available prints go to
limited editions.



The “Flippin, Frontin, and Posin” series explores the
difficult journey youth face in discovering their identity
while remaining hard, or at-least appearing to be so. I
have been thinking a lot about hip-hop culture and it’s
musical significance, articulation of a street
consciousness and celebration of contemporary black
culture. In between the beats and the hype is both lie
and truth and it’s the kids that know the limit is not the
sky but the street they live on. This work explores the
connection between loss, memory and play.
