Another design created for the serigraph printing workshop. This one is based off a design created for a tattoo 10 years back, a Black Moor goldfish. It was always meant as a silhouette, but I've wanted to play around with the detailing of fish scales. I had started off with the traditional flat asian tattoo style of overlapping scales. But decided to try something a bit different while incorporating the circle motifs of the bubbles. Which was the same reason why I had gone with a round background stabilizer as opposed to the rectangular one. After adding colour the blue was too intense, and decided to break it up with the radiating lines within. Helped to balance out the negative spacing within the fish as well.

As someone who has loved the simplicity of these fish, I would love to have one of these as a tattoo.
