The story behind the print

This surreal poster depicts an anthropomorphic fish dressed in a purple coat with dark spots, an orange patterned hat, and a lit cigar. Set against a muted green background, the artwork includes black Japanese calligraphy and a red artist seal in the lower corner. The fish's wide eye and red markings give the composition a distinctive, characterful expression.

The design draws on traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock aesthetics, combining flat colour areas with bold outlines and visible paper texture. The palette centres on purple, green, orange, and red, with the fish positioned centrally in a vertical portrait format. The calligraphy and seal add authentic visual detail to the composition.

This print is supplied unframed and 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. It is rolled and packaged by hand and available in the configured sizes shown in the Size selector. The final piece is a reproduction print of a surreal fish illustration.
