Ocean adventure kayak fishing on California’s Central Coast. and some of the the fish prints (Gyotaku) I’ve created along the way.

The fish is caught, then I apply paint to the fish using the same colors that the fish is. I lay material over the painted fish and create a rub/print. Then the eye is hand painted with detail as a natural focal point.

I use a water based non-toxic acylic paint that is washed off before the fish is filleted for consumption.
