    "Aye, Captn, we arrre aboot 12 nano-giclees from tha subsector. We'll ne'er make it unless we can get more powerrr!"

    "Darn it, Mr. Scott, get me those giclees or we're all gonna die!"

    See what I mean?

    After some quick research, I found your definition.

    ""A giclee (zhee-CLAY), is an individually produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity, high tech reproduction done on a special large format printer. Giclees are produced from digital scans of existing artwork. Also, since many artists now paint only digitally, there was no "original" that can be hung on a wall. Giclees solve that problem, while creating a whole new vibrant medium for art.""


    Simple, huh? :D

    Maybe we could zhee-CLAY the picture of DLandDug in his man-onsie and sell it on LP?
