Welcome to the largest collection of K. Chin images on the Internet!

Currently Closed to New Orders

I have become a K. Chin print collector as well as providing puzzle cutting services for K. Chin prints. Any K. Chin puzzle I make must be made either from a duplicate image I have in my possession or a copy provided by you. If a picture listing says "not available" this means I do not have a spare print at this time from which to make a puzzle. Some of the prints shown in the section are limited edition prints, with anywhere from just 20 to 5000 prints printed, some may be hard to find; I indicate which ones are limited editions. As a rule of thumb, the larger prints are "Mostly Limited Editions" while the smaller prints are not. Some of the prints were also published as Lithographic Cards (see Greeting Card Mini Puzzles). I also provide puzzle cutting services using K Chin's Mass Produced Lithos. I also offer some puzzles from images from K. Chin Paintings paintings not available as prints.

Note: With the exception of Imperial Silver Dragon, I do not sell K. Chin prints. I am a buyer for some prints.



K. Chin (1920-1995)

K. Chin painted with great discipline, precision and imagination. He embellished his real and mythical creatures with fine ornamentation, clear eyed expressions and a wide range of colors, bringing them to life for us to enjoy. K. Chin Biography and Contact

The round Unicorn images were also published as a set of K. Chin plates.
These plates were produced in a limited series of 5000 sets of four
Followers of Dreams - released in 1979
Twice Upon a Time - released in 1980
Familiar Spirit - released in 1982 (early)
Noble Gathering - released in 1982 (late)
The plates were created by Viletta China Company for Edward Weston Editions
"Personally supervised and directed by the artist to assure the most accurate color reproduction"
I've seen the plates go for from $40 for the set of four plates, fully documented, to $50 for just one undocumented plate
I've heard these plates were available at J. C. Penny's in the early 1980's for $65.00 each. Not confirmed.
