Hot Press

330 gsm, smooth fine art matte

Our pick for feather detail. A heavy paper with no shine, so the bird stays crisp under any light.

Semi-Gloss

250 gsm, satin luster

Our pick for strong color and dark plumage. Rich and deep, like a classic photo print.

Archival Matte

230 gsm, smooth matte

Our everyday pick. Good for smaller prints and for gifts.

Cold Press

340 gsm, heavy texture

Our pick for the painted art. It has the look and feel of watercolor paper.

About

I’m Rick. I’ve been a photographer all my life, first as an amateur and later as a professional. Dogeared Graphics is just me.

Small birds are quick and it may take many photos before I get it right.

From the photograph I choose, I make the art with Midjourney AI and finish each piece with digital editing and AI-assisted mixed-media techniques. The bird’s identity, original pose and photographic origin remain the foundation of the work.
