I even tried my hand at the gyotaku japanese fish printing with one when I got home, and I think it looks pretty cool for a first try.


 
That print looks awesome. Is it on rice paper? What type of ink is used.

Kent, be sure to tell us about your trip today.

It is on rice paper, a roll from the local art store was surprisingly cheap. I used a water-based acrylic paint, that way I was able to wash the fish off after the print, and still be able to fillet and fry it up. Some of the people in the youtube videos that I watched used some sort of squid ink, but it seemed like the acrylic paint, thinned out with just a bit of water, worked pretty well. Always fun to try something new.
