Allan Weinbaum has mastered the ancient art of Gyotaku, fish painting.
Prints are taken
off of the bodies of real fish, similar to finger printing.
Prints are made on hand-made
rice paper from Japan.
Allan is very particular about his prints.
He rejects nine out of ten prints.
He has no web-site, but can be reached at Lorelei Marina, P.O. Box 196 Islamorada, FL 33036

19.95 is cheap with that high of a rejection rate. Nice.

What an unusual art, and not too expensive for all that work.
