ARCHIVAL QUALITY ART
REPRINTS
FOR SALE Announcing- a NEW Service from the Johnson Galleries: In 2011 our valued Print-on Demand vender POD Publishing, which handled thousands of artists, succumbed to the recession and went under. We looked for a suitable replacement and found none. Some of these "representatives" wanted 50% of EVERYTHING I make, RETROACTIVELY! Even on commissions they didn't bring in! merciful heavens! In that same week I made enough from licensing on my own to buy a better printer than they had so, after careful consideration and research, we at the Johnson Galleries invested in a state of the art oversize Epson 7890 printer, the industry standard for excellence. It was so large we had trouble getting it in the door and had to tear apart and re-arrange the whole studio. This printer puts the finest darkroom printing to shame and even shames earlier models! It is designed to bang out thousand print orders like they were nothing. On the downside a full set of replacement inks costs $2,500.00 U.S.D. but on the upside I have preserved my legacy of intellectual properties and created a sideline business that can bring residual income to my family after I am gone without fear of them being robbed by fast talking businessmen who don't always send the commission checks. There was quite a learning curve but the prints are turning out perfect 100% of the time and are usually going out the door in one business day. Once these are all set up, they are wonderfully easy to operate. For now, "limited edition signed and numbered by the artist" prints are all we offer but we expect to begin selling bulk to retailers soon. Considering how many TRULY GREAT artists died poor, it seems very, very important to pioneer new ways for artists to live in freedom and earn a living doing what they love.

ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS ON CANVAS BEGUN IN DIGITAL MEDIA: Many of Johnson's Digital Mixed Media creations (below left and right) displayed in this site are currently available to be rendered in oil on canvas like the 20x16 oil on canvas Faerie Guardians 2006 (below center). Each design will only be rendered in oil once at this size and can be delivered in as little as 90 days. You can e-mail for more details at:
People have written asking me to tell them how to tell my digital and mixed media from my Prismacolors or oils. The very fact it is so hard to tell is my point! This new media looks very presentable and costs far less! ALL HALLOWS EVE was begun as a digital montage .This is your guide: above far right is the digital composition... As you're browsing my galleries and can't spot the difference I won't tell you... that would spoil the fun! Is it worth tens of thousands to you to be old fashioned?
ALL HALLOWS EVE was rendered in oil on 20x16 canvas in 2010 (right) and features the lovely Ann Bratton as Titania in this illustration from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. Even when displayed at the same size the oil on canvas is clearly a superior illustration to the 2006 Prismacolor Painting on paper. (left). Considering many oil painters charge $60,000.00 USD and up these $2,000.00 USD and up prices seem very low to me...

Who is American Artist Howard David Johnson? In one of David's invitations to the Florence Biennale Contemporary Art Exhibition, (a partner in the United Nations' Dialog among Nations), UN Secretary General Kofi Anon wrote him: "Artists have a special role to play in the global struggle for peace. At their best, artists speak not only to people; they speak for them. Art is a weapon against ignorance and hatred and an agent of public awareness... Art opens new doors for learning, understanding, and peace among nations."
