Fanciful Hogfish
Gyotaku (Japanese 魚拓, from gyo "fish" (say “joe”) + taku "rubbing") is the traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice which dates back to the mid-1800s. It is believed that fishermen used the prints to record their catches to enable competition between remote fishing campsites. It has become an art form of its own. Paint or Ink is applied directly to a fresh fish and Impressions (prints, rubbings) are made. Much like Batik, imperfections are a part of the process.
Sometimes Nancy goes wild 'n crazy! This hogfish is aptly named Fanciful Hogfish. It is the same fish as the Nature series, just in different colors. This fish was caught and printed in Sarasota FL.
