Live lobster - Linocut Print

Inspired by the rich maritime heritage of North Norfolk, this striking limited-edition linocut print by Chris Taylor celebrates the rare and captivating blue European lobster, often known as the "Cobalt Lobster."

Occasionally found in vivid cobalt-blue hues, this remarkable crustacean is beautifully rendered, creating a unique artwork that would make a standout addition to any coastal inspired interior.

Printed in two colours using traditional relief-printing techniques with water-based inks.

Chris Taylor is a photographer, filmmaker and linocut artist based in Sheringham, North Norfolk. A lifelong resident of the North Norfolk coast, his passion for the sea has been shaped by a background in Coastal Biology, years of exploring local waters, and serving as a volunteer RNLI lifeboat crew member since 2000.

His hand-printed linocuts celebrate the marine life and coastal landscapes of North Norfolk, often incorporating licensed nautical chart prints to reflect his deep connection to the area.

Self-taught in linocut printing since 2023, Chris enjoys the meditative process of carving lino to create images inspired by the coast and the wildlife he loves.

Each limited-edition print is an original hand-printed artwork. Individually produced as an impression, every print possesses its own unique character while remaining part of the edition.

Printed onto heavy-weight printmakers' paper using water based relief inks, each is supplied unframed in a flat envelope, backed with 2mm thick mdf board to prevent bending during transit.

Each is signed and numbered by the artist.
