Martin Krusche works as illustrator and is famously known as co-founder and manager of the Berlin fashion label YACKFOU. Furthermore he works as free-lance illustrator for several other companies (i.e. Völkl, ETH Zürich, Woot!), exhibits his works in several galleries and has won many artist and design competitions - most famously Threadless, LaFraise and A-Better-Tomorrow - and other prizes for his acclaimed, colorful, and imaginative Art. Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
