I have done several paintings in this series.

The fishermen are holding plastic fish-shaped containers, used in many parts of the world for holding single-serves of soy fish, popular with takeaway sushi rolls.

I want this on my wall. NAE! I need it on my wall.

EDIT: I just took a look through your post history and I friggin love your style man. The bin chicken series is fantastic, I especially like the one with the old yellow corolla in the driveway. I think you're one of my new favourite artists.

I thought this art was meant to represent how pollution and crap (like Oil and trash) was in so many oceans and stuff, killing the fish.

Is it bad that I'm a little disappointed they aren't lead weights? I definitely thought this was a bass fishing joke. Still a very beautiful picture!

I was apprehensive about working in oil pastel but now I’m hooked. Great job!

I thought they were those toy/candies made of wax and filled with juice you suck out. In hindsight I think those were mini wax soda bottles lol

Wow. Just wow! The light on the fish containers is so realistic and with a fast glance I thought this was a real photo. I love the Lego/Playmobil dudes in your past posts, very interesting concept.

As someone who’s never heard of these soy sauce containers my first thought was it was an environmental piece bc I assumed they were full of oil

Am I the only one thinking this is AI created? The resolution.... the vibe of the whole thing....

Would it be rude to ask for a higher rez and maybe some proof?
