'Shrine Guardian vs. the Abyssal Kraken' Giclée Print
Edo Period Mechas vs. Kaiju!
I love playing around with the concept of Edo Period mechs. Steampunk is a cool aesthetic, but it’s often very Eurocentric in design. I like to take the steampunk approach, but apply it to 1800s Japanese architecture and form. It’s such a fun challenge, and I love the results in these two new prints!
The top caption says: 海上に蒼海魔蛸現る。神社機巧の神火弾、蒼き怪を撃退せり。
...which translates to: "Upon the sea, the Blue Ocean Demon Octopus appeared. The sacred-fire missiles of the Shrine Mechanism drove the blue monster back."
The bottom caption says: 怪獣大戦記録, which translates to: "Record of the great Kaiju War"
NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:
1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!
2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.
Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.
FRAMING:
This print looks great in a standard 16 x 20 frame (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).
Inside the frame, you can place your print over a sheet of colored paper for a lovely effect. Canson makes textured paper in many colors. It looks great at a low price. Here's a link.
