Gyotaku of a small Red Mullet from the waters of North Wales in Sumi

Gyotaku of a small Red Mullet from the waters of North Wales in SumiI recently met a local marine biologist who said he might have some samples for me once they've served their purposes in the lab. When he messaged me to say he had a Red Mullet I was very excited. However I was not expecting this! With a body measuring approx 16cm by 3cm this this tiny mullet was stunning. This makes this small piece of marine art very accessible for those who have walls groaning with art work. Surely everyone can find a corner in

I then paste the glue on the back of the print and add a second and then a third sheet of paper

Not sure if your loved one is a lobster lover or more into sea bass

These tiny fish are useful to fishermen for bait and that's exactly how I came by mine

They are particularly tied to the Island of Anglesey as they have their own biscuit here

each fish is printed individually

This process is an ancient technique practiced in Japan for over 1000 years

I've always worked from photographs since my time in university and I'm often drawn to the human form

Traditionally used to record the details of marine life

this should be cut down to the same size as the print for framing

I made this print by first taking an impression from the surface of the fish onto a washi paper

collectors of Japanese-inspired printmaking

Any questions
