A lobster drawn in fine blue pencil, climbing through three lines of fat red lettering on a cream ground. We like it in a kitchen, where a shellfish on the wall reads as an appetite rather than a decoration.
The lobster is rendered in the patient, almost scientific hatching of an old plate, and then dropped into type loud enough for a poster. The two registers should not work together, and they do.
Drawn entirely by hand by the French artist Augustin, then printed in Brittany on heavyweight 300 g paper. Each print is a reproduction of an original drawing, and it ships unframed.
The three sizes all match standard frame formats, so hanging one is a frame and ten minutes. We group two or three of the same palette above a desk or down a hallway rather than centring one on a big empty wall.
