Junkyard King - Fine Art Prints
The southern keeled octopus emerges at night to forage over the sand for crabs and other crustaceans. During the day it buries in the sand or hides in shells or human refuse (such as discarded bottles and cans). When buried, it can raise one eye like a periscope above the level of the sand to check for predators before emerging. The common name of this octopus refers to the ridge of skin around the edge of the body, which may aid in gliding the octopus under the sand when it buries. They are endemic to more temperate seas off southern New South Wales and southern Australia.
This print has been created from an original coloured pencil drawing on black cotton rag (2021). The original image of the octopus was captured by underwater photographer Sam Glenn-Smith in Rye, Victoria (2021).
Prints are produced locally using the highest quality cotton rag or canvas with archival pigment inks with a fade resistant life of up to and exceeding 100 years.
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.
The canvas is a textured, 380gsm Bright White canvas suitable for all canvas printing applications. The canvas prints are coated with a UV inhibitor for abrasion and fade resistance.
Allow 10-15 days for prints to be delivered and allow up to 4 weeks for stretched canvases.
