Artist Proof Art
Limited Edition • Hand-Signed • Artist-Enhanced
JD Shultz’s Artist Proofs (APs) offer collectors a rare way to own his artwork in a limited, elevated format. Each AP is produced in a small edition of only 30 per image and includes JD’s signature, numbering, and a subtle hand-painted enhancement that gives the piece a personal touch from the artist himself.
This slight layer of paint, thoughtfully added to highlight select details, makes every AP feel connected to JD’s creative process without becoming a full mixed media original.
Accessible, collectible, and beautifully crafted… Artist Proofs sit perfectly between a print and an original.
Why Collect an Artist Proof?
Artist Proofs offer a rare, limited-edition way to collect JD’s work, each lightly enhanced and personally signed by the artist.
Collectors choose originals because:
✔️ Only 30 Artist Proofs Exist Per Image.
✔️ JD adds a small, intentional touch of paint to each AP... a highlight, a stroke, a bit of color... making the piece feel more personal and unique while keeping it true to the original artwork.
✔️ Each AP includes JD’s handwritten signature and edition number.
✔️ Available on Canvas, Acrylic, Metal, or Wood — all created to showcase JD’s vibrant style and depth.
✨ All Artist Proofs are signed by JD, include a Certificate of Authenticity, and arrive ready to hang. (Can be delivered in person in the Los Angeles area)
Want to See It on Your Wall First?
You can send us a photo of your wall, and we’ll create a free digital mockup showing exactly how the artwork will look in your space.

Looking for a One-of-a-Kind Original?
There is nothing like owning an original. Originals carry a presence and emotional depth that cannot be recreated.
Collectors choose originals because:
✔️ A one-of-a-kind only version that exists in the world
✔️ Hand-painted texture and dimension that no print can replicate
✔️ A true centerpiece that elevates your home with luxury and personality
✔️ Long-term collector value that grows over time
✔️ A legacy piece that can be cherished and passed down
✨ All originals are signed by JD, include a Certificate of Authenticity, and arrive ready to hang. (Can be delivered in person in the Los Angeles area)
