"All fishermen are liars, except you and me,
and I'm not so sure about you."

Welcome to Shell Creek Ink.
The
fish depicted here are caught in the Fort Myers/Sanibel area in Southwest Florida, the Florida Keys and the Bahamas.
I apply paint to the fish directly, the press paper onto them to make prints, in a process called gyotaku.
In
Japan, before photography, fisherman used this method to take a "picture" of their large fish, proving the size
of their catch.
By printing fish, I do not wish to imply that I am not a liar. That would be lying. But I do hope
you enjoy these prints.
