Blazing Publications
Alan Blazar
Biography
The founder of Blazing Editions, has more than 25 years
experience in the visual and graphic arts-as a photographer, pre-press technician
and executive. In 1984 he founded his own photography, design, pre-press and
printing company, combining many of the disciplines of graphic arts production
all under one roof. He became known for pioneering the use of many emerging
technologies such as waterless printing, stochastic screening and digital
photography. He started experimenting with the giclée process on his
own photographs in 1994. He quickly realized the vast potential—both aesthetic
and commercial—of the revolutionary medium, and founded Blazing Editions.
Mr. Blazar earned his B.A. from University of Rhode Island and went on to
attend Rhode Island School of Design in printmaking. His photographs and giclées
hang in many corporate and private collections of contemporary art.
