Randy's fascination with aviation and art stem from his early childhood, always spending his free moments sketching any available aircraft or landscape at hand. At 16, he worked for the local fixed-base operator at his hometown airport in DeKalb, Illinois, then a former Naval Pilot Training Facility. His exposure to the day-to-day operations added further to his skills as an artist, helping maintain and service all manner of civilian and transiting military aircraft (always with sketchbook close at hand). He traded his early illustrations and paintings for "stick-time" and eventually earned his private pilot's license before his drivers license! In addition to many single engine civilian aircraft, he has piloted hang-gliders, gyrocopters, and completed static-line parachute jumps.
Randy graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with emphasis in Illustration, Painting & Design. Since 1985, he's worked as a freelance illustrator in Maine and Virginia, basing his work on first-hand observation gained through many hours spent in the air. It is this experience and opportunity that he feels as being the greatest instructor an aviation artist could have.
Illustrating historical aviation & military subjects on canvas is Randy's hallmark, and it has earned him extensive recognition as a prominent aviation artist worldwide. He currently resides with his wife and family in Northern Virginia.
Randy Green Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Giclee Print "Last Mission for Nine-O-Nine"
A Limited Edition print is restricted to a certain number. For example, if 400 prints are made from an original painting, once they’re gone, that’s it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. That’s why Limited Edition prints are more expensive — and more valuable to collectors — than "open" edition. Rare objects are more valuable.
All Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered (S/N) individually and include a Certificate of Authenticity.
The term "giclee print" denotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
Remarqued prints are a popular way to acquire a work of original art in addition to the limited edition print. They are unique hand rendered pencil drawings relating directly to the subject of the print. They are carefully crafted and complete in every detail. These gem-like drawings embellish the border area and effectively increase the value of the print.
All Limited Edition artwork is subject to availability at time of order. Although seller strives to remain currrent as to inventory, seller reserves the right to cancel a sale if item is no longer available at time of purchase.
