John Dory artwork

[SCROUNGER]

Thought i'd share an artwork i've just finished. Many years ago i did a limited edition screenprint run similar to the artwork shown. Fortunately they all sold but unfortunately i didn't keep one for my wife and she has been on about it for years to try and buy one back for her. That didn't happen so i thought i'd do another one that looked similar. The one shown is about 30 x 20 inches and is done with a technical pen and is basically all made up of stippled dots. It's taken me over a month to complete, i finally painted the matt yellow background this morning and apart from signing it'

s finished. Cheers

Thanks Billy, i like that prehistoric look about these and some other fish that i find interesting to paint and draw.

That's amazing!

What a talent. I'd love to be able to do something like that.
You should do tattoos!

Thanks mate. I've met a few people over the years who have had tattoos done from some of my artwork spatch. I'd be too nervous i'd disfigure them :lol: If i stuff up on paper or canvas i can ditch it and start again. Bit hard to do that with tatts :lol:

Been fishing hard for 30 years, having a bit of a rest from it now for a bit, sold my boat when I bought my house, needed extra cash for the deposit, still make lures though, will post a few pics in a new thread.

look forward to seeing more of your art mate, its awsome.

Awesome drawing Scrounger, looks ready to put on the barbecue it looks so real.

Great work as always Scrounger, have you ever tried doing that Japanese print thing .... dried fish skin/scales, inked and then paper pressed onto it.
Can't remember what it's called but can look terrific.
Cheers Tom
