As described this is my hand-carved and hand-pulled Lino block print of a charming Grimpoteuthis octopus, one of a genus of pelagic cirrate (finned) octopods known as the dumbo octopuses. The water looks black and the octopus has its brown tentacles curled in to its indigo body with reddish fins. Each print is 9.25” by 12.5” on delicate Japanese washi paper.
