This is a hand-carved and hand-printed lino block print on delicate ivory Japanese mulberry paper, 9.25” x 12.5” of a vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis). The ‘vampire squid from hell’ is a small deep sea cephalopod found throughout temperate and tropical oceans with two long retractile filaments, located between the first two pairs of arms on its dorsal side, unlike either octopuses or squids. The squid is upside down with purple head and yellow tent like areas between its legs. The filaments arc around above against the blue background.
