You're looking at at a print and you see a note that it's either a V1, V2 or V3, but you think "what is that?" V stands for "Version" and the number is an indicator telling the buyer/collector which batch version of the print that they are viewing.
V1 is the first batch production run. These are the first prints to go into production and they also ship first. They are printed, hand signed, sequentially numbered and packaged first. Only (10) V1's are produced for each Tadd Miller painting. These are printed on museum grade material with archival properties to block UV exposure and prevent the print from degrading overtime. The inks and media used for these prints are designed to last centuries. All "V" Prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
V2 is Version 2 of the print or known as, the 2nd batch. Much like V1's they are also hand signed and sequentially numbered. There are only (100) V2's made for each Tadd Miller Bloony art piece. These are printed on museum grade material with archival properties to block UV exposure and prevent the print from degrading overtime. The inks and media used for these prints are designed to last centuries. All "V" Prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
V3 is much like V1 and V2 except there are (250) prints produced. However, before creating a cap of 250 V3's, There were 1,000 prints produced of "Bloony Floats a Sea of Fame" V3 prints still get hand signed and numbered. These are printed on museum grade material which have archival properties to block UV exposure and prevent the print from degrading overtime. The inks and media used for these prints are designed to last centuries. All "V" series limited edition prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
If you do not see a Bloony logo on a print, then it is a standard production print. You will see a small "SP" by my signature on the painting. These prints are not signed or numbered, but they are a cheaper alternative to get your hands on a fun Bloony print. These are printed on a different media compared to the limited edition prints. It's still fine art material just not as high quality as the "V" Style prints.
(The Bloony logo "Balloon Colors" are unique per version as shown in the image.)
