Sierra Print Artist is a computer program from Sierra Home (part of Sierra Entertainment, which is owned by Vivendi SA). The software allows the user to make cards, calendars, stationery and other assorted crafts and then print them with their printer. The current version is 25.[1]
The program was originally developed by Pixellite Group in the early 90s. The DOS version was written by Christopher Schardt. The original Windows version was written by Mr. Schardt, and Ferdinand G. Rios and Tracy Elmore of SAPIEN Technologies, Inc. Vince Mills handled later versions.
The program was first published in 1992 under the name Instant Artist by Autodesk. After half a year or so, Autodesk decided to abolish its consumer products division. Maxis then published the program under the name Print Artist. In 1995, Sierra On-Line purchased Pixellite Group and the rights to the software and it became known as Sierra Print Artist. It was published under Sierra's "Sierra Home" label and continues to be today despite several purchases and mergers of Sierra On-Line beginning in 1996.
The underlying vector-graphics/font-effects technology was developed by Dane Bigham and Christopher Schardt. It was first used in Banner Mania, published by Brderbund, also written by Christopher Schardt. Steve Hales wrote the Macintosh version of BannerMania. Marty Kahn (the author of the original Print Shop) wrote the Apple II version. The technology also found its way into what would eventually become the WordArt add-in for Microsoft Word.
A popular feature of the program was the Graphics Grabber, developed by Vince Mills, which enabled the program to handle a catalog of thousands of vector and bitmap graphics, organized by keywords. Sierra Home also publishes Hallmark Cards-licensed versions of the program as Hallmark Scrapbook Studio Deluxe and Hallmark Holiday Card Studio.
I am an artist and illustrator based in Seattle. I grew up making things and creating art. I was always so fascinated by how something that was in my head could just be.. real! I try and bring that same excitement to the work that I do currently.
How does your connection to nature influence you personally, and how does it influence your art?
I've been a longtime owner of Broderbund's PrintShop but I
haven't been a happy owner for years. It is slow, buggy,
and getting printer support is problematic. If you have
a B&W postscript printer you will be okay probably. BUT
get a StyleWriter or HP deskjet or Epson and don't pass
Go and Don't collect $200.I wrote them off and told the company why in a long reasonable
letter. I got a reply from some customer support drone and
the answer was basically pick up your marbles and find
another game.I haveSince then I've played with several other different programs
of the same type. PrintShop Gold is a straight Wintel port
and not all that great, but not too bad. Card Shop is worth
every penny if you don't spend more than $15 for it. Pretty
chintzy program but it is stable. Corel's PrintHouse could
be a real PrintShop killer if it weren't so dang unstable.david--

Richard, I bought Print Shop, but have been having all sorts of problems
with it - I haven't tried giving it more memory, but I'll do that.
Another problem I have is that it doesn't center on the paper correctly
with my HP660C. What printer are you using and did you have any problems
with that?Thanks,Don Word

Kiyoshi Saito (1907-1997) was one of the most important Japanese woodblock print artists of the 20th century. Originally trained as a painter, Saito became a pivotal member of the "Sosaku Hanga" or "Creative Print" movement in the Post-war period, attracting international audiences and accolades. In the spirit of Sosaku Hanga, he engaged with every aspect of the printmaking process, meaning that each of his works is self-drawn, self-carved and self-printed. While his early works reveal an attention to three-dimensionality, as his style evolved, his designs became increasingly two-dimensional, distinguished by bold blocks of color, refined designs, and rich texture.
It takes a great deal of repetition and attention to detail to pull one successful print. I have learned that timing, humidity, pressure, and subtle overprinting or vandalism of the same plate multiple times can all have an effect on the image and whether it succeeds. In many ways the moment of printing is like calligraphy in its exactitude, physicality and openness to the accidents of the moment.

I've seen a lot of items called "art prints" or "Artist Proof" and would like to know what they are. Also I've seen the same picture with a limit of x/10 but then the same picture x/100. What are these?
Many prints and Lithos have an AP of about one tenth of the total run. I think these are the first ones off the press and should be the best impressions. I mostly look at it as a way to get more money out of collectors.
I know first hand with Disney that their machine printed limited editions such as serigraph cels had an additional print run as Artist proofs. I remember that the norm for awhile was 50-100 proofs to a 2500-5000 print run. The proofs were sent to gallery owners to see if they wanted to order a copy and were outside the print run. At least when it came to the Disney seri-cels (as they were called) the artist proofs were never intended to reach public hands.
This part of my memory is sketchy - I am pretty sure that the gallery owners and art dealers had to send the proofs back at Disney's request if no order was made or if actual print run had run out or they would have to fear the power of the mouse.
I guess it depends what you are buying? Neither one is an original. At least when it comes to art collecting, the "Artist Proof" is still a print, with a far more limited run, sometimes 'inspected' by an artist perhaps with his signature on it. Once the proof run is ok'd then the regular production of prints is run.
Depending on the difference in price between an AP and regular print decide if you think it is worth extra, in most cases if you just want something to have it the answer is usually no. If you want to invest in something, I would just go for the original only.
If you're a member, by now, you should have started receiving your copies of Pinkerton. In that package, you'll find a print by an incredible Japanese artist named Fuco Ueda. We talked to Fuco--via a translator--about her art and the print.
Culture is quite like a piece of fabric. It surpasses over all sorts of people and generations while influencing the formation of culture in joining history together. You can actually feel the connection. In addition to the creation of art itself, one thing I hold dear is the idea of not trusting yourself. Even the slightest amount of doubt or feeling that something is out of place in my everyday routine is something that I value quite highly.
Lara Cory: There are recurring images in your paintings, art prints, drawings, and posters. We see telephone poles and wires, silhouettes of forests at night, skeletons beneath flower bushes, dotted winter landscapes, bare trees against solid color backgrounds, and houses with the lights left on in the dead of night. What interests you about these specific images, running through your body of work?
Dan McCarthy: Well, I was first attracted to telephone wires and poles because I liked the idea of drawing attention to something that was generally overlooked or ignored. Also, the variety of intersecting lines are a lot of fun to draw. I use skeletons in my works to represent death. Much of my art explores the concept of death and rebirth.
Dan McCarthy: Thank you. My posters and prints are screen printed. I start with a pen and ink drawing, and then I scan the drawing into Photoshop and add the color on different layers. From Photoshop, I print out films of each color layer and expose each layer onto a screen. After that, I begin the printing process. All of my paintings share a similar, dominant style. This comes from the careful layering of each color and not using use more than 4 or 5 colors. You could say my painting style is more graphic than painterly.
Hi,excellent concept.The way of presenting interview with the help of nature pics is also so much great.Its unique way of presenting information.I like the article and the style also.Its totally new.Keep sharing again
