The story behind the print

This surreal octopus teapot poster depicts a dark ink wash creature whose body forms a traditional teapot, complete with a curved handle and lid. Tentacles curl outwards, one holding a thin smoking pipe and another balancing a small tea bowl. The monochrome brushwork sits on a warm tan background.

The design uses expressive black ink strokes that vary from solid silhouettes to textured, dry-brush marks. A red seal stamp appears in the lower right corner, adding an authentic Japanese art reference. The composition is centred and vertical, with the octopus and teapot occupying most of the frame.

This print is supplied unframed, so the frame is not included. It is printed to order in the UK on 270 gsm premium satin paper using a 12-colour Mimaki UCJV300-160 printer with authentic Mimaki OEM inks. Each print is rolled and packaged by hand and is available in multiple sizes.
