X-ray Fish Limited Edition Print

X-ray Fish, Pristella maxillaris

The watercolor painting used to create these prints was painted for Nick's second book, Fish ABCs, which features one fish for each letter of the alphabet.  This fish is for the letter X.  Its flesh is so transparent that one can see all of its organs and skeleton.  It is found in the Amazon and Orinoco basis as well as coastal rivers in the Guianas of South America.  They are also bred in captivity for the aquarium trade.

Nick recommends size:  MEDIUM

Hand-signed prints are printed, inspected and signed by Nick himself. He then ships your print to our expert framer who mats and/ or frames your prints and ships them to you. All of this is done by hand with great care to ensure a quality crafted product. These are hand-made custom frames, hand-cut mats, and hand-signed prints, so they are not an off the shelf item. So that is why they take longer: 7-10 days turnaround time on the hand-signed matted & framed pieces only.  These all ship via UPS Ground. If you have a rush order, a specific date you'd like your piece delivered on, or anything unique you feel you need to tell us, please note this in the Notes section on the checkout page and/ or Contact Us. Thank you for your patience with these hand-made, unique works of art.

My mission as an artist is to inspire an appreciation for and curiosity about nature and its creatures by communicating the aesthetic beauty of this planet’s amazing creatures as they really are.

It is my hope that this appreciation will result in acts of empathy & stewardship towards these incredible creatures portrayed in my paintings.
