I am a huge fan of woodblock prints, especially those by Japanese ukiyo-e artists. Coming from a print background myself, I admire the draftsmanship and patience involved in relief printing - etching, or drawing the desired pattern onto a large block, covering that design in ink or dye, and eventually stamping it onto the fabric one colour at a time. As a screen printer I am always striving to achieve quality of the same standard.

Full description

Part 2 of the a fine art print of an original illustration based on The Great Wave off Kanagawa Japanese woodblock print by ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai.

Based on the original Hokusai woodblock print and uchi's ‘Soundwave off Kanagawa‘ art print this mimics the original format more closely keeping the new drama to just the boat and its passengers.

In the traditional ukiyo-e prints there is usually something going on, whether mundane or dramatic and so I wanted to change the story of the original. The people in the boat are based on figures depicted in the ukiyo-e print “Tea house at Koishikawa. The morning after a snowfall” I like the idea of the water waves and sound waves affecting each other and the boat, tethered to the headphones, being tossed around by the sound/waves.
