Hand embellished Custom Reproduction piece. (Original just Sold)
Size: Approximately 36" x 24"
Bluefin Trevally (Caranx melampygus) are known as Omilu in Hawaiian.  There are often multiple Hawaiian words for one species of fish, depending on size.  Small Bluefin Trevallies are known as papio in Hawaiian, while larger blue fins are called Omilus.  My very first gyotaku print was of an Omilu, so this piece is very special to me too.  I love all of the bright colors on these fish and the blues on the fins are absolutely electric when the fish is alive or first caught. I created this print with those colors in mind.  My friend Bowe nabbed this fish with only a 3-prong, which is how he always gets his fish for dinner!
