About the Artwork:
“This piece is an exploration of the bluish greens that I imagine when I think of the deep sea. Usually, I do illustrations and paintings with one focal point, so I decided to change it up and do this in more of a tattoo flash style with each fish being almost its own piece with its own character.” – John Van Horn
