‘Curly Fish (Light Grey)’ is a limited edition, hand made and original lino print.

This print came about after I had been doing some ink drawings in my sketchbook. I was playing around with different ‘curly’ patterns on the fish’s body, instead of a fish scale pattern, and this little chap was eventually created!

This is a limited edition of 12 prints in light grey ink. Each print is signed by me, numbered and the title of the artwork is written.

Paper size is 28.5 x 40cm, and the printed fish image is approximately 26 x 11cm.

This artwork is printed on high quality traditional Japanese Hosho printmaking paper, specifically designed for relief printmaking. Printed with professional water based Graphic Chemical Company inks. The fish was printed on my printing press at home, and inks were mixed and rolled onto the lino block by hand.

I drew the fish with brush and ink in my sketchbook first. The print was created by carefully hand carving the design onto the surface of the lino block. After the carving is complete, I hand mix and roll the ink onto the surface of the lino block. Using my printing press in my studio at home, prints are made by placing the printmaking paper on top of the inked lino block and this ‘sandwich’ is hand pulled through the press to create the print.

Please note, the print is sold without the frame, the pictures of the framed print is to give an idea of what it could look like after framing.

I aim to post items within two business days of receiving payment, and will post with Australia Post.

I package my artwork with great care and always aim for happy customers. I carefully roll each artwork in tissue paper and butchers paper before placing securely inside a sturdy cardboard mailing tube.

Please get in touch if you have any questions, I would love to hear from you!
