This linocut is the result of a labour-intensive printing process. It is unique and one of a kind.
The blue background was printed using hand-mixed oil-based ink. Once dry, which takes several weeks, the first lobster was printed with an ultramarine oil-based ink using a press. The same lobster was printed once again, in a slightly darker colour. It was deliberately offset to the first lobster and burnished by hand instead of a press. Slightly less detail was intentionally transferred on the second print allowing the lobster below to be seen. This, combined with the two lobsters being offset, gives an illusion of movement.
The inks used for this print are made with lightfast pigments ground into artist-grade polymerized linseed oil. These inks offer deep, intense colours with a crisp finish.
The paper used is Mulberry, a fine Japanese paper. It is considered vegan since it contains no sizing agent, wet strengthening agent, or aluminium sulphate, and is mainly made of wood pulp.
