Hokusais "Great Wave Off Kanagawa" Screenprint
These images are from my re-creation of the "Great Wave" japanese print by Hokusai. This print has always been one of my favorites by him and I wanted to take a stab at recreating this all by hand as a screenprint. Up to this point, I had only done simple designs with large black lines to cover where colors intersected. The final line on this piece is no wider than a fine tip Sharpie marker.
This was also my first 6 color screenprint. I had grey (sky), light blue, med blue (which was a little too dark for my liking), dark blue, boat gray and boat yellow. After completing this project, I was exhausted...so I immediately moved onto the Sumatran Tiger which has a post on here as well. =)
