Junkyard King - Open Edition Prints
"Junkyard King" is a striking depiction of the southern keeled octopus, rendered in vibrant colour pencil on black paper. This drawing captures the resourceful and adaptive nature of the octopus, positioned regally atop an old tin can, showcasing its ability to thrive even in the most unexpected environments.
In this piece, the southern keeled octopus is illustrated with meticulous detail, highlighting its textured skin, distinctive colouration, and expressive eyes. The contrast of the octopus’s vibrant hues against the deep black background emphasises its presence and the sharp lines of its surrounding. The old tin can, a symbol of human impact on the ocean, serves as an unconventional throne for this remarkable creature, adding depth to the narrative of survival and adaptation.
This print has been created from an original colour pencil drawing on black cotton rag paper (2021). The original image of the octopus was captured by underwater photographer Sam Glenn-Smith in Rye, Victoria.
Prints are produced locally using the highest quality cotton rag paper with archival pigment inks with a fade resistant life of up to and exceeding 100 years.
The surface of the printed cotton rag paper is delicate and needs to be handled with care. It is recommended the prints are delivered to a professional framer. To avoid reflections from the glass, it is highly recommended AR70 non-reflective glass is used.
