This listing is for an A3 black and white print of Barry. The prints are fine art giclee prints, the inks are 12 colour pigment inks onto archival paper to create what is called a giclee print that is good for 100 years in the right conditions ie- not in direct sunlight etc etc. This buying print would make a perfect gift for any Octopus lover, fans of ink illustration, anyone who loves to decorate their home with fine art prints of under sea creatures. The print quality is stunning, the detail is phenomenal. This would make a truly beautiful gift, for anyone with an octopus obsession like myself, perhaps someone close to you has an octopus tattoo, or loves diving, or their favourite film last year was my octopus teacher?

Whatever the love for Octopuses, there is nothing quite like owning your own little piece of art, to populate your hall, bedroom, office or hallway. Barry is likely to start conversations about Octopuses and their incredible beauty and intelligence, so why not treat yourself? or your Mum, who loves Octo's? your partner perhaps?

( A little about my story- if interested read on, if not scroll past)

My name is Leah and I am based on the south coast of England, in Brighton and Hove. I have always lived near the sea, here, and I have never lived anywhere else. I love living by the sea, I'm not sure I would be able to live inland. There is something about the wildness of water I love.

I can hear the waves crashing from my flat in Hove. My love affair with Octopuses started in 2019 ( long before My octopus teacher existed). My love affair began, through a bottle of ink and a doodle.
Always creative, making bonkers jewellery, photography, dress making, toy making, just to name a few- I spent my whole life wanting to draw, but not being brave enough to fail.

3 or 4 years ago, I began to actively fear fight, all the things I was terrified of. First it was writing, as I am dyslexic. That was a deep-rooted, fear of being stupid and ashamed. I never even told anyone I was dyslexic, it was that bad. So I started to practice writing, under the guidance of various friends.

The next was swimming. I have had a deep terror of water since childhood, as I have many allergies, including water and my health has always been precarious. So I decided, that's it, I want to learn to swim. So a very visceral fear fighting with that one.

Whats this got to do with octopuses and ink? I hear you say? Well, lets just say- these two fear fighting missions led me on to my biggest fear, drawing. Ever since I was a little girl, if you asked me what I wanted to be- I would have said an illustrator. So this desire, was deep and very strong. I was so frightened, I never even tried. I got lost in a world of working to survive and with my crappy health, I had little to no time to pursue anything else even if I wanted to.

During covid, I was made redundant, which was a shock. I am deeply aware of the horror's covid has had for everyone, it has tested us all to the extreme, for sure. However, it suddenly gave me some time, to have a go at creating more artwork- or more specifically getting brave enough to show my artwork to the world, which I eventually did, after a year of Lockdown.

Barry represents, human pursuit, overcoming fears, struggles, life, embracing who you are and just trying. He represents so much more than he at first seems to, He represents my own very human battle with what you want to be and do and reality. He is the first full painting I have ever done.
