Jon Lybrook is owner and chief printmaker at Intaglio Editions which was established in 2006 to provide his custom technique for producing archival, photogravure-quality plates and prints to artists, photographers and the public at large.

Since his first class in photography at age 8, Jon has pursued hand-crafted photographic art forms for most of his life. He was winning awards for his photography at the age of 14. President of the photography club in high school and an avid yearbook photographer, Jon Lybrook graduated from Bard College in 1989 having pursued an interest in experimental filmmaking and animation.

Jon began painting on film with photochemicals as some of his early experiments with motion picture film. This led to a series of early luminograms by Jon Lybrook that later became a coheisve series of lightjet and inkjet prints in 2002.

After having been introduced to the concepts about high-resolution Polymer Photogravure by David Hoptman at the 2004 Alternative Photographic International Symposium (APIS) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Jon Lybrook ardently pursued the traditional process of photogravure but using digital film output and polymer plates. Through these initial experiments, Intaglio Editions was born.

Every year, Jon and his assistant, artist Tseng Yee from Taiwan, produce dozens of high-quality plates and editions of fine art prints for laymen, artists, and photographers around the world.

The work of Jon Lybrook has been shown in art shows in and around Colorado as early as 1996 and his work was recently featured in The Elements of Photography, Second Edition: Understanding and Creating Sophisticated Images by artist, author and educator Angela Faris Belt, who currently teaches at the Art Institute of Colorado.

In addition to his work as an artist, printmaker, and technologist, Jon Lybrook is owner of Chronosynthesis Productions, Inc. which operates Intaglio Editions as well as Tera Bear Consulting, and WordSecure, LLC, both technology companies. When not working in the areas of art and computers, Mr. Lybrook enjoys keeping up to date with classes at Boulder Digital Arts, practicing aikido, kettlebell fitness training, and Vipassana meditation.
