Blue-ringed Octopus - Limited Edition Prints
The southern blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa) is highly venomous. It is most commonly found in tidal rock pools along the south coast of Australia. As an adult, it can grow up to 20cm long (top of the mantle to the tip of the arms) and on average weighs 26g. They are normally a docile species, but they are highly venomous, possessing venom capable of killing humans. Their blue rings appear with greater intensity when they become aggravated or threatened.
This print has been created from an original coloured pencil drawing on drafting film (2024). The original image of the octopus was captured by underwater photographer Sam Glenn-Smith.
Prints are produced locally using the highest quality cotton rag with archival pigment inks with a fade resistant life of up to and exceeding 100 years.
A2 cotton rag prints are Limited Edition prints with only 30 being printed.
Limited edition prints are personally signed and come with a authenticity certificate.
The surface of the printed cotton rag is very delicate and will scuff easily if not handled carefully. It is recommended the prints are delivered to a professional framer. To avoid reflections from the glass, it is highly recommended a clear non-reflective glass is used.
Allow 10-15 days for prints to be delivered.
