This linocut print depicts two novelty litter bins I have encountered on the East Sussex coast near where I live. The dolphin shaped one was spotted on Brighton pier, and the 'I Eat Cans' shark is from a great beachside cafe / bar in St Leonards called Goat Ledge. I love the idea of combining these two images in blue and black, with a little hint of sea behind them, in a limited edition linocut print. It also encourages an anti-littering message, whilst celebrating two legendary UK seaside towns. It also continues a trend in my artwork of novelty items shaped like animals.
The print was also published in the August issue of print magazine, Pressing Matters, as it was included as part of its Blue and Black collection - read more here.
Each of these prints has been produced by hand, from the initial designing and cutting of the lino to the inking and printing. As a result, small variations are inherent in the process, making each print unique with its own character and distinguishing marks. Each one is an original numbered piece of art.
The print will be wrapped and contained within a clear plastic wallet, and mailed in a hard backed envelope.
