Menai Strait Lobster, Gyotaku Printed in Red ink.

Menai Strait Lobster, Gyotaku Printed in Red ink.This lobster was caught in a pot by a local fisherman here in North Wales. It was caught in the Menai Stait. Lobster are a challenge to print as they are so 3 dimensional. Its very tricky printing the legs and their antenna. This lobster is printed on Chinese mulberry paper measuring 69. 5x34cm. Ive used a high quality screen printing ink that is both light fast and permanent. Each print I make is unique as I apply fresh ink before each print is taken

I like to work on composition and colour more freely and I think that is a reflection of my fine art background

The two sheets are left to dry overnight and will bond and be flat

Printed in high quality Acrylic ink made by Speedball and printed on to Chinese Xuan paper
