Broadbill Swordfish
This Broadbill Swordfish was caught in The Canyons. The Broadbill Swordfish itself was 67” LFJ with the tail being 23.5” wide. The actual piece of rice paper is 27.25” x 19.5”. This original piece was done on rice paper and then mounted onto watercolor paper. I used the Gyotaku print making method to create this piece. Gyotaku is an ancient Japanese print making method, where ink is directly applied to a fish, then rice paper or cloth is laid over it and pressed to show all the intricacies and anatomical beauty of the fish. Just for everyone to know this process is very difficult and time consuming, the first 20 to 50 prints do not come out properly. This original piece is the best print I obtained from this Broadbill Swordfish.
