Print of Menai Strait Prawn

Print of Menai Strait PrawnI picked up this prawn from my friend Andy in December, he was clearing down his bait tanks on the Menai and had pulled out half a dozen prawns and a pollock. He gifted me this little guy and he went in the freezer until I had some time after Christmas to get in the studio and print. I've printed this on an A5 sheet of Chinese calligraphy paper using and dark blue and gold ink. It takes a long time to prepare and ink a prawn and then position it ready

It has then been wet mounted using the traditional Japanese method

However they are pretty tricky to deal with
