Octopus Seaweed Print

 Octopus print after picking up a whole load off seaweed of the beach in East Sussex. Rediscovered the unfortunate fact that the sea never smells that great when you take it home - Especially after a couple of days hanging out in a plastic bag....

Job Done. - Cat & Goldfish

This print has been floating around my head and idea sketch book for awhile now. Seemed like a good time to draw it up and free up some head space for new ideas. Got half way through the design process and went to see Wolf of Wall Street, which went on for hours! Got back at midnight and worked til 2:30am, finished it in the morning. Into the studio at 2pm, print finished and out by 10:30pm.
 

 Layer 1 - two shades of orange at once.

 Layer two - Pink nose and tongue and the white bodies of the fish

 Fish detail

 Keep it simple stupid - testing out a two layer option (possibly for greetings cards) with aectate and the base layer. Another three layers to go

 Layer three - orange fur.

 Layer 4 - Tabby markings.

Final print. Layer 5 - Black outlines.

One final Anteater before Christmas.

The last print before my pens went down for Christmas.

 My truly extraordinary idea sketch.

Went with standing.

 Getting hairy.

 Layering it up.

Running out of time - super close to going with a cop out. Moved printing days and freed up a few more hours.
