Portrait of a Weedy - Open Edition Prints
The weedy seadragon or common seadragon is closely related to the seahorses and pipefish. Unlike seahorses however, the seadragons do not have a pouch for rearing the young or a prehensile tail for grasping. Weedy’s are generally red in body color with yellow/white and blue/purple markings. They are endemic to southern Australian temperate marine waters. The Seadragon is protected in New South Wales and Tasmanian waters. It is listed in the 1997 IUCN Red List but only in the DD (Data Deficient) category. The species is most threatened by over collecting for the aquarium fish trade.
This print has been created from an original coloured pencil drawing on black cotton rag paper (2021). The original image of the weedy seadragon was captured by Tasha Waller off the Actaeon Islands, Tasmania (2021).
Prints are produced locally using the highest quality cotton rag paper 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 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.
Prints are printed on demand, please allow 10-15 days for prints to arrive within Australia. A4 and A3 prints will be posted flat in a rigid mailer, A2 prints will be rolled into a mail tube.
Free postage within Australia, international postage will be calculated at the checkout.
