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. The name "Jelly Bean" originated as an alias derived from a childhood nickname given to him by his grandmother. A series of birthmarks located on the back of his shoulder appears to look like jellybeans, hence the name Rockin' Jelly Bean. Jelly was born in a year unknown on the sandy beaches of Hawaii, an island paradise where he spent his early years to later migrate to Japan during his adolescence. Growing up in the city of Kyoto, his family first noticed his ability to draw, particularly cartoons. In Junior High School, he discovered Playboy magazine, an inspirational publication in the eyes of Jelly. He then began creating his own versions of beautiful, often naked, female subjects. He became astute at mixing and matching his favourite anatomical features with his favourite actresses, thus creating his own creature of beauty and burlesque. Working as a free-lance artist as he, simultaneously, established surf band Jackie and the Cedrics (and of course made all the flyers and record art). Later he went on to create his own art and design studio Erosty Pop. Jelly's desire to establish a new base for his artistic activity in Los Angeles and befriend the likes of American Lowbrow artists
