2011 T-Shirt & Posters

The 2011 t-shirts and posters feature the Gyotaku artwork of Fred Fisher. Gyotaku ["Gyo" meaning fish, and "Taku" meaning rubbing or impression] is a traditional form of fish printing. In the 1800′s, fisherman in Japan would cover a fish with ink and press rice paper onto it. When removed, the exact mirror image of the fish would remain. Fred takes his Gyotaku fish art a step further by using acrylic paint and cloth, or different types of handmade paper, to capture as much vivid color and detail as possible in each fish rubbing. Visit Fred and learn more abou this unique painting style at Aquatic Impressions.
