Nice! I've always wondered, what exactly is a lithograph? I figured it was cool since they're so much more expensive than a poster. I love that pic!

The lithographs are limited edition, only 250 made, each is numbered....
 
LivLuvAndBootlegMusic,

A lithograph is created using a printing technique based on the principle that oil and water do not mix. Using oil-based ink or a grease crayon, an image is drawn on a flat stone or metal plate. Water is applied to the surface and is repelled by the areas where oil-based images have been drawn. The entire surface is then coated with an oil-based ink that adheres only to the areas drawn in oil, ink or crayon. The image is then printed on paper. Lithography became a popular printing technique because thousands of exact replicas could be made that were like drawings on paper, without degradation of the image.

Thanks! I'm not very artistic so I don't know much about printing techniques. Sounds cool.
